Barn2 Plugins

What does it take to grow a WordPress agency into an international software company? Our co-founder and CEO Katie Keith sat down with 20i for a candid interview.

Katie talks about why Barn2 walked away from client work, how she runs a fully remote team across time zones, and the honest reality of AI changing search behavior and what that means for WordPress product businesses.

She also shares why Barn2 is expanding beyond WordPress into Shopify apps and cloud products, plus practical advice for anyone who wants to start public speaking.

Most fundraising advice quietly assumes you have a budget: a venue, custom merch, an events team. Most small nonprofits have the opposite problem, where every campaign has to pay for itself fast.

Our latest guide rounds up 10 cheap fundraising ideas you can launch this week using tools you already have. Think donor matching prompts on your thank-you page, peer-to-peer challenges where supporters do the sharing, eCard campaigns for calendar moments, and countdown campaigns with a public timer.

The common thread: your existing website does more of the work than your team. A donation plugin handles payments, your CMS handles campaign pages, and a document library keeps templates and donor packs in one place your volunteers can self-serve from.

Pick one, give it three weeks of focused attention, and see what your donors respond to. Read all 10 ideas:

Do your product review plugins slow down your WooCommerce store? We ran the test so you don't have to.

We set up five identical stores and compared five popular review solutions (CusRev, WiserReview, ReviewX, Reviewbird, and Yotpo) on product page speed, add to cart, admin load, and a full shopper journey. Reviewbird came out fastest in almost every test, though the margins were small: under 100ms between fastest and slowest.

The takeaway isn't only about reviews. No store runs on one plugin. A 90ms delay is invisible on its own, but stack 25 plugins that each add that much and you're looking at seconds of delay on every add to cart and checkout. That's how carts get abandoned.

If speed matters to your store, choose well at every level. See the full test results and what they mean for your setup:

Document Library Pro is now available for Wix. Wix site owners can add a searchable, filterable file library to their site, live on the Wix App Market.

Document Library Pro is a searchable document library that organizations use to publish and share files on their website. It started as a WordPress plugin, and we've since brought it to a hosted version, Shopify, and now Wix, all running on the same library engine, so it arrives as a mature product from day one.

We built it because a large share of the 13,000-plus organizations using Document Library Pro, from nonprofits and health clinics to councils and associations, don't run WordPress. Now they can add a document library to the platform they already use.

On Wix, that means search, category filters, date filters, file type filters, file previews, downloads, and public or restricted access. Whether you're running a members-only board library or publishing a thousand research PDFs, visitors find the right file in seconds.

Try the Wix app and tell us which platform we should support next:

Your product tables can now double as a wishlist. WooCommerce Product Table now works with the free SaveTo Wishlist plugin, so shoppers can save products for later directly from the table.

When customers browse a large table, they're comparing rows and weighing up options. Some they'll add to the cart now, and others they'll want to keep track of for later. A "Save to Wishlist" button right there in the product-name column lets them do exactly that, without opening each product page.

It works for logged-in customers and for guests when guest wishlists are enabled, and the button stays put after searching, sorting, and even on lazy-loaded tables. There's no connection process, API key, or paid add-on: activate both plugins, include the product-name column, and the button appears automatically.

The same integration also works with WooCommerce Fast Cart, adding a wishlist button inside the slide-out cart.

See how to set it up:

Your nonprofit's brand identity is far more than a logo and a color scheme. It's how donors, volunteers and your community recognize and trust everything you do. Think of Charity: Water or St. Jude: that instant recognition is a big reason they attract so much support.

The good news is you can build a strong brand identity deliberately. It rests on three things lining up: your mission (why you exist), your values (how you work), and your value proposition (the benefit only you offer). From there you shape the visible parts: a simple logo, a defined color palette, readable typography, and a consistent voice.

One thing that quietly holds it together is where you keep your brand assets. A brand slips the moment a volunteer grabs an old logo or the wrong shade of blue. Document Library Pro turns your logos, guidelines, fonts and templates into a searchable library on your own site, so your team always downloads the right version.

Our guide walks through visuals, storytelling and community, with examples to learn from. Read it here:
