API Updates Complete now for Squirrly Social and Email Hero by AISQ
Real-time updates about this change and the timeline were posted to our Official Facebook account for the entire brand. That means this one right here.
It's clear to us that most of our audience prefer that particular channel, so that's where we will post emergency notifications.
We've done Twitter in the past, before Twitter changed. Then, we've done LinkedIn, but they also placed some weird "you-need-to-be-logged-in" walls on our content. Plus, a great number of our fans are still using Facebook to get updates about things they care about, so that's where we'll keep being with the live ones.

^^ make sure you read all about it. There are many more updates inside that post.
wp-ghost-9-banner.png89.53 KB WP Ghost 9.0 is the most significant release since the plugin was renamed from Hide My WP Ghost. This update introduces a redesigned security dashboard with a real-time Security Optimization Score, a customizable login page designer, AI crawler blocking (copyright protection from AI Crawlers), interactive threat geography mapping, and CSV export for all security logs.
Combined with the WP Ghost 8.3 series (which introduced the Security Threats Log, IP Block Automation, and expanded firewall rules), these updates transform WP Ghost from a path-security tool into a full hack-prevention command center.
There are so many people who depend on me right now. It was really hard to find time to blog.
I still have members from Summer 2025 cohort and Autumn 2025 cohort who depend on me for their growth and marketing.
There are new Florin Architects who are Certified, yet still training to become the best AI Marketing Orchestrators they can be (under the Florin Standard).
I still have startups and founders that I mentor. I've opened their eyes and also completely changed their business models.
There's a lineup of solomarketers who are waiting to hear more from me about how they can make sure AI will never replace their marketing roles.
My teams also need my guidance because we're just now finishing a HUGE Play that has been in the works since about 2015. In all honesty, I can't believe we've actually made it happen.
So many things now come together. It's incredible. I feel so alive, just like I did right before the Alpha v2 launch of the world's first AI end-to-end marketing system.
The new AISQ, however is a lot more. It means a lot more. Many partners and clients have put their faith in Squirrly Digital Pack. The 2026 AISQ is the next evolution 🧬 in this story. It is the destination. Digital Assistants have been part of our DNA since 2012. It's what made us... well... us. And what good for nothing companies who kept copying us could never get to copy.
AISQ, in the current 2026 version with AISQ MarketingPRO and AISQ Meteor is what we've fought so hard to achieve.
Marketing will never be the same again.
You will all enter the Era of the AI Orchestrator Marketers. I've already been there since my release of Florin Muresan's Growth Program (oct 2025).
