It has made the news and many have heard about the legal dispute and public feud between the founder of WordPress and CEO of Automattic, Inc., Matt Mullenweg, and the hosting provider we primarily use, WP Engine, Inc. In an unfortunate turn of events, certain backend WordPress admin resources were temporarily blocked from accessing WordPress.org-related tools, including updating plugins and themes that the WordPress Foundation hosted. While the issue is now resolved, we are watching the situation closely for any new developments and, as always, are available to help maintain and support your site. Please reach out if you have questions or concerns; we’d be happy to discuss further.
Your site’s short- and long-term success is paramount to us, and we will continue to make that our top priority, no matter the circumstances.
