Court orders Automattic to restore WP Engine's access to WordPress.org


A California district court judge has granted a preliminary injunction to WP Engine. The order asks WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg and WordPress.com

It should be restored as it was on September 20, when Mullenweng passed remarks noting that the WP engine was “cancer to WordPress” at an event. This ban also resulted in WP Engine not being able to access and update its popular Advanced custom field (ACF) plug-in. It was made without the benefit of discovery, our motion to dismiss, or the counterclaims we will be filing against WP Engine shortly,” the company said in a statement.
