On Tuesday December 10, WP Engine won a preliminary injunction against Mullenweg and Automattic that seems to be aimed at preserving the status quo from before Mullenweg’s alleged attack, thus giving the case time to work through the court system while limiting the damage to WP Engine.]]> https://wpshout.com/wp-engine-gets-preliminary-injunction/feed/ 0 WP Engine Gets Its Preliminary Injunction Against Automattic https://wpshout.com/wordpress-6-7/ https://wpshout.com/wordpress-6-7/#respond Mon, 18 Nov 2024 13:43:57 +0000 https://wpshout.com/?p=145553 On November 12, WordPress 6.7 was released for WordPress users everywhere to enjoy.

Back then, the two were mainly trading words, and dueling cease and desist letters. However, the scope seems to be continuing to expand, including WP Engine filing an actual lawsuit against Matt Mullenweg and Automattic.]]> https://wpshout.com/mullenweg-takes-over-advanced-custom-fields/feed/ 2 Mullenweg Takes Over ACF https://wpshout.com/wp-engine-and-automattic-trade-cease-and-desist-letters/ https://wpshout.com/wp-engine-and-automattic-trade-cease-and-desist-letters/#comments Wed, 25 Sep 2024 11:50:51 +0000 https://wpshout.com/?p=144608 If you follow WordPress at any level, it’s hard not to have heard about the drama surrounding Matt Mullenweg’s attack on WP Engine at the tail end of WordCamp US, something that marred what otherwise seemed like a very lovely event.]]> https://wpshout.com/wp-engine-and-automattic-trade-cease-and-desist-letters/feed/ 1 Matt Mullenweg vs WP Engine https://wpshout.com/wordcamp-us-2024-kicks-off/ https://wpshout.com/wordcamp-us-2024-kicks-off/#respond Tue, 17 Sep 2024 10:39:02 +0000 https://wpshout.com/?p=144544 Hey there, WordPress fans!

In late August, Matt Mullenweg and Automattic announced plans to migrate all of the existing Tumblr websites to WordPress.
