Pier #40 - Voxel, Spaces Engine, Userback, Widget Options & AgentWP

Stefan from Ahoi.dev | The Pier #40 | Friday, 22 Mar 2024

Hi there,

Welcome to the 40th issue of The Pier. This week, Arian from Voxel announced the long-awaited release of version 1.4, currently in beta. This major update introduces the new StripeKit add-on, which consists of paid one-off or subscription-based memberships and product types. The latter allows you to create and sell products natively within your WordPress directory platform. It also adds dynamic tags for custom add-ons and the ability to loop product add-ons.

The BuddyBoss team has announced the upcoming release of the new BuddyBoss App for Tutor LMS, a native mobile learning app for iOS and Android.

The LatePoint team is currently making all their add-ons compatible with version 5.0 of the WordPress appointment scheduling plugin, which is currently in beta. They hope to release an integration with SureCart later this year.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
