Enable duplicate ticket references on BuddyPress Trac

Hi folks! Could you enable DuplicatesWorkflow on BuddyPress TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/.?

When I choose “mark as duplicate of ticket,” there is no ticket-number field to reference the original ticket. This is tracked in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8951. The action_dupe input is absent from the rendered form, so CSS or JavaScript does not appear to be hiding it.

TracDuplicates 0.12 is active in BuddyPress Trac Admin, and its DuplicatesWorkflow component is checked. Even so, BuddyPress Trac currently reports [ticket] workflow = ConfigurableTicketWorkflow. The shared Meta workflow-core.ini includes ConfigurableTicketWorkflow,DuplicatesWorkflow, and bbPress Trac uses both: https://meta.svn.wordpress.org/sites/trunk/trac.wordpress.org/conf/workflow-core.ini

Could you check for a BuddyPress-specific override and make the effective workflow include DuplicatesWorkflow? Please verify that the duplicate action shows the ticket-number field and can reference another ticket.

Thank you! #prio2 #trac #buddypress

Hi folks!

Can I please get access to https://dotorg.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress/api?

Maybe enable PHP bcmath extension

I tried to update the Google Cloud libraries in the Photo Directory plugin, but it currently fails because the bcmath extension is missing. The newer Vision client parses APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. responses with Google’s protobuf library, which needs bcmath when the native protobuf extension isn’t installed.

Could you enable bcmath? Or would you prefer I bundle the phpseclib/bcmath_compat polyfill for now?

Fix for plugin sharing images

On cache misses, ps.w.org returns 403s to bot agents. They only get an image when a normal client has recently warmed the cache for that URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org at the same edge. This breaks sharing images in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/ unfurls (Slackbot-LinkExpanding, and Slack-ImgProxy) and X/Twitter cards.


<h1>403</h1>

curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}n' -A 'Slackbot-LinkExpanding 1.0 (+https://api.slack.com/robots)' "https://ps.w.org/akismet/assets/icon-256x256.png?x=$RANDOM$RANDOM"

curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}n' -A 'Mozilla/5.0' "https://ps.w.org/akismet/assets/icon-256x256.png?x=$RANDOM$RANDOM"

Could /*/assets/ be exempt from the rule or handled another way?

Mailboxes and outbound mail for FreeScout

As I’m starting to migrate inboxes, what would be your preferred way to have FreeScout connected with the @wordpress.org addresses?

The Gmail connection works for @wordcamp.org (and presumably @wordpressfoundation.org) addresses, I have meetup-support@wordcamp.org set up as a first test. Not sure if you prefer to have w.org addresses work the same or have them connected in a different way?

polyglots@wordpress.org and hosting@wordpress.org are no longer used and can be retired. I’m not planning to migrate those to FreeScout, unless they should be kept for historical reasons?

See https://make.wordpress.org/systems/2026/05/14/wordpress-org-freescout-instance/

With MC now being able…

With MC now being able to be sandboxed—thank you for setting that up—could you please add wporg-mc-dev to @4thhubbard‘s sandbox when you get a chance?

She’ll be working on getting education stats and efforts tied in there.

Write access to dotorg.svn

Requesting write access for myself to commit to dotorg.svn, as I’m working on the bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org ticket backlog, and a few hotfixes for the WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.

Please can I get access…

Please can I get access to the Google Analytics property for the Mercantile store? I’m overhauling the store and want to track orders and conversions properly.

As far as I can tell, the shared .org GTM container (GTM-P24PF4B) routes mercantile.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ to GA4 property G-2R4NZ1XYDP, but I haven’t been able to find out who administers it. Recording purchases will also need a purchase event tag in that container, so access to the container (or someone who can add the tag) would help too.

Thanks!
