Is the WordPress Drama Causing You to Consider a CMS Switch?
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.
