Warner Bros. Discovery will split its business into two publicly traded companies, with one focused on its streaming and studios business and the other on its television network businesses, including CNN and Discovery.
The US media giant said the move would unlock value for shareholders as well as create opportunities for both businesses, breaking up a group created just three years ago from the merger of Warner Media and Discovery.
Warner Bros. Discovery last year revealed its intent to split its business in two, a plan first reported by the Financial Times in July last year. The company intends to complete the split by the middle of next year.

Fusing light psychological horror with the quiet melancholy of American Realist painter Edward Hopper, developer Thomas Waterzooi is following up his puzzle games Please, Touch the Artwork and Please, Touch the Artwork 2 by having you just watch the artwork instead. Please, Watch the Artwork is an upcoming spot-the-difference game featured during Day of the Devs that tasks you with observing a museum of living paintings and tracking down a sad clown that may be harshing the other paintings' vibe.
In the game, you'll observe living versions of classic Edward Hopper paintings, like Nighthawks or Automat, and look for inconsistencies, like a character behaving strangely or objects being out of place — what one could describe as sad clown interference. You'll then click on the offending area and it'll be repainted, restoring the living painting to its normal gloomy self.
Please, Watch the Artwork riffs on popular horror titles like I'm On Observation Duty, Five Nights At Freddy's and dozens of other similar games on Steam that make you look at fake CCTV footage of a garages and office buildings. Waterzooi's game just takes a slightly classier approach. The combination of classic art and eclectic puzzle mechanics has paid off well in the past, too: Please, Touch the Artwork was nominated for numerous awards, including an Apple Design Award.
Please, Watch the Artwork will be available on iOS and Android for $4.99 and on Steam for macOS, Windows and Linux devices for $7.99. Waterzooi's Day of the Dev's presentation didn't include an exact release date for the game, but he did suggest that it will be out around Halloween.

President Donald Trump's push to revive American manufacturing through tariffs may face some hurdles.
Despite some high-profile commitments, including Nvidia's plans for a US-based supercomputer plant and Apple's pledge to invest $500 billion domestically, a new report from Wells Fargo economists predicts that bringing back offshored manufacturing jobs will be an "uphill battle."
"An aim of tariffs is to spur a durable rebound in US manufacturing employment," Wells Fargo analysts wrote in the report. "However, a meaningful increase in factory jobs does not appear likely in the foreseeable future, in our view."
The report attributes the potentially low factory job growth to high labor costs, a lack of suitable workers to fill vacant positions, and a subdued population growth from lower fertility rates and slower immigration.
"Higher prices and policy uncertainty may weigh on firms' ability and willingness to expand payrolls," the analysts added.
The tariffs are part of Trump's broader economic agenda to revive American manufacturing as a pathway toward middle-class prosperity. The tariffs are meant to hike the costs of imports to incentivize companies to make goods domestically.
"Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country," Trump said while announcing tariffs on April 2. "And ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers."
Some tariffs imposed on April 2 have been temporarily paused or greatly reduced, including tariffs on China. The 10% across-the-board tariff remains, as do some specific tariffs on Mexico and Canada, plus 30% in duties on China. Duties at their current level are still the highest they have been since the 1940s.
"In order for manufacturing employment to return to its historic peak, we estimate at a minimum $2.9 trillion in net new capital investment is required," Wells Fargo analysts wrote. "Assuming businesses are willing and able to invest such ample sums, questions over staffing remain."
The Wall Street bank says that US manufacturing employment currently stands at 12.8 million, down from its 1979 peak of 19.5 million. To get back to that mark, the US would need to add roughly 6.7 million jobs. Wells Fargo added that the figure is nearly the same as the entire pool of unemployed Americans, which in April was 7.2 million, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Population aging, negative perceptions, and skill mismatches also underpin workforce concerns," Wells Fargo analysts wrote. "New jobs will require different skills than those previously lost."
In 2024, Taiwanese chipmaker TSMC said it delayed the opening of its Arizona chip factory due to a shortage of skilled workers. A report released in April 2024 by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute also found that nearly half of the 3.8 million new manufacturing jobs anticipated by 2033 could remain unfilled due to skill gaps and other population factors.
"Tariffs must be high enough to make the cost of domestic production competitive in the US market, and they also must be kept in place long enough for producers to bring on additional workers and expand capacity," the report concluded. "If the economic or political costs are deemed too high, the current administration could quickly dial-back prevailing duties further."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
Last week, a friend who manages multiple WordPress sites called me in a panic. A routine plugin update had broken his client’s navigation menu, but he didn’t notice until customers started complaining.
This is a common problem I’ve seen countless times, and it’s exactly why visual regression testing is so important for WordPress website owners.
Visual regression testing might sound complicated. However, it’s actually a simple solution that can save you hours of manual checking and prevent embarrassing layout issues.
Typically, it works by automatically comparing before-and-after screenshots of your pages. This helps catch even the smallest visual changes that might break your site’s appearance. 🔍
In this guide, I’ll show you how to do visual regression testing on your WordPress site. After testing numerous tools and methods, I’ve found the most reliable solution that won’t require any coding knowledge or technical expertise.
Every time you update your site — whether it’s a WordPress core update, a new plugin, a theme change, or just a minor code tweak — there’s a chance that something on the front end might shift out of place.
For example, a button could disappear, your layout might break, or a product image could stop loading properly.
The problem? These visual bugs often go unnoticed until a visitor points them out through a contact form or design feedback survey.
By then, the damage to your site’s user experience might already be done.
That’s where visual regression testing comes in.
The process is simple: take snapshots of your pages before and after an update, then compare them to spot anything that’s changed.
And if you’re testing on a staging site (which we recommend), you can safely make updates and run comparisons to catch visual issues before anything goes live.
The good news? You don’t have to do it manually.
With visual regression testing tools like VRTs, Percy, or BackstopJS, you can automate screenshot comparisons and check how your site looks across different screen sizes — helping you catch layout issues on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
Why is this important for WordPress users?
If you’re managing a WordPress website, visual regression testing is a time-saving safety net. Instead of clicking through every page after an update, this tool gives you a visual report of what changed — and whether it’s something you need to fix.
It’s especially helpful in many scenarios, such as agencies running updates across multiple WordPress sites, freelancers managing client websites, or online store owners who want to make sure the product and checkout pages stay intact.
In short, visual regression testing helps you avoid frustrating surprises, save time, and keep your WordPress site running smoothly.
With that said, I’ll share how to easily do visual regression testing in WordPress. Here’s a quick overview of all the steps I’ll cover in this guide:
🧑💻 Pro Tip: Before running visual regression tests or making design changes, I highly recommend using a staging site.
A staging site is a private clone of your live website where you can safely test updates, plugin changes, or design tweaks — without affecting your users. It helps you catch layout issues, missing buttons, or visual bugs before they go live.
Not sure how to set one up? Just see our step-by-step guide on creating a WordPress staging site for all the details.
In this tutorial, I’ll use the VRTs plugin because it’s beginner-friendly and super easy to use for visual regression testing. Whether that is a shifted layout, a missing button, or a broken element after an update, VRTs helps you spot it early.
Here’s how it works: The plugin takes screenshots of the pages you select. You can then trigger comparisons manually or schedule them to run automatically after making changes to your site, such as updating a plugin or tweaking your theme.
The plugin then compares the ‘before’ and ‘after’ screenshots side-by-side and highlights any visual differences.
So, instead of manually checking every page, you get a quick visual report showing what changed, and whether anything looks off.
To install the plugin, you first need to visit the VRTs website and sign up for a plan by clicking on the ‘Get started for free’ button.
You can then choose one of the plans. The free plan will allow you to test up to 3 pages per day on one domain and schedule daily tests.
On the other hand, paid plans will allow you to test a higher number of pages, run manual tests, and automatically run visual regression tests after WordPress core, plugin, and theme updates.
Simply click on ‘Buy now’ or ‘Install now’ underneath the plan you want to use.
Then, follow the instructions to sign up for an account on the VRTs website and add your payment details.
Once you have completed the payment, you will land on your VRTs dashboard, where you can download the plugin as a .zip file.
Then, simply head to Plugins » Add Plugin and click on the ‘Upload Plugin’ button. From here, you can choose the VRTs plugin .zip file that you just downloaded.
Make sure to activate the plugin once it has been installed. For full details, you can see our guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.
Once you’ve activated the plugin, it’s time to set up when your visual regression tests should run.
Head over to VRTs » Settings in your WordPress admin menu.
Once inside, you can scroll down to the ‘Triggers’ section — this is where you tell the plugin when to automatically take and compare snapshots.
Here are the available options:
Once you’ve selected the trigger that fits your workflow (or your license), simply click the ‘Save Changes’ button at the bottom of the page.
Once you’ve configured the plugin settings, it’s time to choose which pages or posts you’d like to include in your visual regression tests.
Let’s now switch to the ‘Tests’ tab, which is where you’ll manage and run your visual tests.
From here, you can click the ‘Add New’ button. This will let you choose posts or pages to test.
In the popup that appears, you need to choose the pages or posts you want to perform the visual regression testing on.
Then, click ‘Add New Test’ to confirm your selections.
The VRTs plugin will take an initial snapshot of each selected page. This acts as your baseline — basically a “before” version of how your posts or pages look right now.
After setting up your test, you’ll see an instruction to refresh the page to load the initial snapshot. Go ahead and do just that.
With that done, you’ll find a link to the page or post snapshot you added for testing.
You will also see that the ‘Test Status’ is automatically set to ‘Scheduled’ for the next day. This is because the free version of VRTs runs tests on a 24-hour schedule.
You can click the ‘View Snapshot’ link to check the initial screenshot.
It will open in a new tab like this:
Now, you can make any changes you need to your site. Then, come back tomorrow to review the comparison and spot any unexpected visual issues.
Once the test is complete and any visual bugs are detected, you should see a notification alert in the VRTs » Runs tab.
Once inside, you can hover over the run with changes detected.
Then, click the ‘Show Details’ link when it appears.
On the next screen, you’ll see a side-by-side comparison of your page, showing the before and after versions.
The plugin automatically highlights visual differences, so you can quickly spot:
You can use the drag handle in the center of the screen to slide between the old and new versions and visually confirm the exact changes.
After running a visual regression test, you can take action based on the results. Here’s what you can do next:
✋ Need a backup tool recommendation? Duplicator is an excellent choice. It’s easy to use and lets you clone your WordPress site in just a few clicks.
Some of our business websites currently use Duplicator for backups and site migrations, and I highly recommend checking it out. Read our full Duplicator review to learn more!
If you’re just getting started with visual regression testing, you’re not alone. Here are some quick answers to common questions I often hear from WordPress users and developers.
What is the difference between snapshot testing and visual regression testing?
Snapshot testing checks if your website’s code or content stays the same, kind of like saving a backup of how things are supposed to be.
Visual regression testing, on the other hand, focuses on the appearance of your site. It compares screenshots before and after updates to catch layout changes, missing elements, or visual bugs you might not notice right away.
What is the best tool for visual regression testing in WordPress?
The easiest option is the VRTs – Visual Regression Tests plugin. It’s beginner-friendly, doesn’t require any coding, and runs directly from your dashboard. Plus, it has a free version that’s super easy to use.
How can I do regression testing manually?
Manual regression testing means going through your site and checking key pages after you make changes, like installing a new plugin or updating your theme.
You’ll want to visit your homepage, contact page, checkout process (if you have one), and any custom layouts to make sure everything still looks and works as it should. It works, but it can be time-consuming if you manage a large or busy site.
How do you speed up regression testing?
The best way to save time is to automate it. Using a plugin like VRTs – Visual Regression Tests lets you create snapshots of your important pages and quickly compare them after an update.
No need to manually click through every page — the plugin does the visual check for you.
You can also test updates on a staging site first, so you’re not fixing issues on a live site.

A California man has pleaded guilty to hacking an employee of The Walt Disney Company by tricking the person into running a malicious version of a widely used open source AI image-generation tool.
Ryan Mitchell Kramer, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of accessing a computer and obtaining information and one count of threatening to damage a protected computer, the US Attorney for the Central District of California said Monday. In a plea agreement, Kramer said he published an app on GitHub for creating AI-generated art. The program contained malicious code that gave access to computers that installed it. Kramer operated using the moniker NullBulge.
According to researchers at VPNMentor, the program Kramer used was ComfyUI_LLMVISION, which purported to be an extension for the legitimate ComfyUI image generator and had functions added to it for copying passwords, payment card data, and other sensitive information from machines that installed it. The fake extension then sent the data to a Discord server that Kramer operated. To better disguise the malicious code, it was folded into files that used the names OpenAI and Anthropic.
