Changes the text of the link created by the More block and stops it from jumping halfway down the post when clicked.

When a post is updated, also clears the WP Rocket cache for the homepage, the blog page, its category and tag archives and the author page, so lists never show stale titles or excerpts.
Adds a "wp content-audit" command that shows, per post type, how many items are published, drafts, missing a featured image, missing an excerpt and not updated for two years.
Adds a "Copy to site" bulk action on the Posts screen that copies the selected posts (title, content, excerpt and featured image URL as a note) as drafts to another site you are an editor on.
Adds the post title as hidden text to "Read more" and "Continue reading" links, so screen reader users hear where each link goes instead of a list of identical links.

Adds a "Featured Post" widget that highlights one post or page you pick, shown as a card with its featured image, excerpt and a read-more link.

Wraps the searched words in mark tags in result titles and excerpts, so visitors see why each result matched.
Removes password-protected posts from all feeds, where they otherwise appear with a "There is no excerpt because this is a protected post" message.
Cuts long post titles to two lines and excerpts to three lines in blog grids and Query Loop blocks, so cards line up neatly whatever the text length.
Adds a [post_card] shortcode that shows another post or page as a card with its image, title and excerpt, perfect for "see also" links inside articles.
Adds a [post_grid type="..."] shortcode that shows any post type as a responsive grid of cards with image, title and excerpt, so a regular page can act as its archive.
