Business Directory Plugin
Business Directory Plugin is in steady maintenance mode — fixes, security, PHP 8 hygiene
A side-by-side editorial comparison of WP Tasty and Metricool — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
WP Tasty leans into email capture and AI-scraper defense for recipe bloggers
WP Tasty ships a suite of WordPress plugins for food bloggers (Recipes, Roundups, Links, Pins). Recent releases add a Save Recipe email-capture feature to the recipe card and an AI Scraper Prevention setting, alongside routine fixes and a migration of add-ons to a new affiliate system.
Metricool's feed is its marketing blog — how-tos and platform news, not product releases
The Metricool feed being tracked is the company's SEO/marketing blog, not a product changelog. Entries are how-to guides (scheduling Instagram carousels, TikTok views, Twitter/X reports) and social-platform news (Meta AI voice translation), with the product mentioned as the tool that helps.
WP Tasty ships a suite of WordPress plugins for food bloggers (Recipes, Roundups, Links, Pins). Recent releases add a Save Recipe email-capture feature to the recipe card and an AI Scraper Prevention setting, alongside routine fixes and a migration of add-ons to a new affiliate system.
Two themes are emerging: turning the recipe card into a lead-capture surface (email-a-recipe, newsletter opt-in) and defending bloggers' content from AI crawlers. The rest of the cadence is coordinated housekeeping — moving the whole plugin family onto the new affiliate settings.
Expect the Save Recipe / newsletter capture to expand with more placement and integration options, and further creator-protection tooling as AI scraping stays a live concern.

As a content feed, the trajectory reflects editorial cadence and SEO strategy rather than product direction — high publishing volume aimed at social-media managers. One post documents Metricool's own Claude/MCP integration, the closest thing here to a genuine product signal.
The blog will keep publishing high-frequency platform how-tos and trend explainers; product direction can't be reliably inferred from this feed and would need the actual release notes.
