WordPress has been a dominant force in content management systems (CMS) for years. However, the recent drama between WordPress and WP Engine has caused some users to question the platform's stability. 

 

Here's a quick recap of the situation: 

  • Trademark Trouble: WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg believes WP Engine is misusing WordPress trademarks. 

  • Resource Restriction: This disagreement led Mullenweg to block WP Engine's access to WordPress.org resources. 

  • Website Woes: This has caused disruptions for websites relying on WP Engine for hosting. 

Should you switch from WordPress? 

While the situation is concerning, WordPress remains a popular CMS for now. However, if stability and security are top priorities, Umbraco might be a great fit.
