WP Engine

When Gabe Flores, Director of Digital Marketing at the Dallas Mavericks, faced uncertainty about their games being broadcast on TV, his team needed a backup plan to handle high website traffic for streaming. With little time, WP Engine jumped in, built a detailed roadmap, and quickly prepared everything for a seamless online experience.

Today WP Engine sent what is called a “cease and desist” letter to Automattic demanding that Automattic and its CEO Matt Mullenweg stop making and retract false, harmful and disparaging statements against WP Engine. In response to misinformation he has disseminated about the letter, its purpose, and who it is directed at, we are making the full letter available here: https://lnkd.in/gjcYnR_V

Since our founding in 2010, WP Engine has been dedicated to advancing the use and adoption of WordPress through innovation, investment, and active community involvement. We are proud of our extensive contributions to the WordPress ecosystem which has grown far beyond the core open-source project. The recent attacks against us are unfair and untrue and clearly designed to harm our business. Our employees, customers and the WordPress community deserve better. While these developments are unfortunate, they will not slow us down. We remain focused on serving our customers, supporting our team members and our agency partners, and fulfilling our mission which puts the growth and success of the WordPress ecosystem at the heart of everything we do.
