WordPress announces plan to hit self less
Jun. 3rd, 2025 09:08 amWordPress concludes after shooting self in foot, then other foot, then both ankles, both knees, and aiming at a hip that maybe, possibly, this might be a slightly less than ideal strategy. And this from a source that seems to side with Automattic in the Automattic/WPEngine lawsuit. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/wordpress-unpauses-development-but-has-it-run-out-of-time/548199/
I was going to say I was shocked it hadn't been forked yet, but apparently it has, just no fork appears to have gained traction yet. Although ClassicPress looks interesting, at a glance it looks like they stripped WP back a ways, removed javascript that was doing things that modern browsers and html5 will do without javascript, and set about cleaning what javascript remained or replacing with libraries still in active use and development.
