There are some really exciting things coming your way inside Nexter.

Let’s start with forms.

We know how important it is to have a phone number field with a proper country code. We’ve been building it directly into the Nexter Form Block and it’s almost ready. You’ll be able to set a default country code or let it auto detect based on the visitor’s location.

Now moving on to templates. The import process inside Nexter is getting a complete makeover.

You’ll notice the difference right away because it’s going to feel smoother, faster, and a whole lot easier to use.

And that’s not the end of it. We’re also preparing a brand new way of AI importing templates that feels much closer to how you actually work.

Exciting times are ahead for Nexter and we can’t wait to share these updates with you very soon.

1. WordPress released maintenance updates for branches 4.7 to 6.7, adding an updated root security certificate bundle to improve HTTP request security. Sites with auto-updates will update automatically, while others can update manually. The latest supported version remains 6.8.2.
2. The 2025 WordPress Hosting Survey invites hosting providers to share insights on their technology, security, support, and WordPress experience. It also covers eCommerce features and reliability. The collected data will help update WordPress.org hosting recommendations.
3. Google’s Gary Illyes explained that Google avoids using external signals like social shares in its ranking because they can be manipulated and are outside of Google’s control. He emphasized that relying solely on controllable internal signals ensures the integrity and reliability of search results.
4. Google cautioned businesses against using generic, keyword-heavy domains, saying they can hurt visibility and brand identity. It advised choosing unique names and using content, structured data, or Google Business Profiles for local targeting instead.
5. Google’s Gary Illyes emphasized that AI-generated content is acceptable as long as it undergoes human editorial review to ensure accuracy and quality. He clarified that “human curated” is a more accurate term than “human created,” stressing the need for oversight before publishing.
6. Google confirmed that AI-generated images, when used alongside legitimate content, do not cause SEO penalties or directly harm rankings. While these images use server resources, they may even boost traffic via image search, and there’s no direct negative impact from using them.
7. Google’s search advocates recommend giving each key image its own crawlable landing page with unique descriptions, because gallery setups using JavaScript or URL fragments can limit visibility in image search. Responsive images and modern formats help page performance but don’t directly affect rankings.
8. Google rolled out the August 2025 spam update to improve search quality by targeting spammy content. The update may take weeks to complete, and site owners are advised to monitor Search Console without making drastic changes.
