Who did that? WP Engine was the one making these before the change
- throw16180339 2y agoMatt did when he posted his vitriolic rant to every WordPress install.
- partiallypro 2y agoOne of Matt's complaints was that WPE disabled revisions...which JetPack (owned by Automattic) suggests to do in order to improve performance. https://jetpack.com/blog/wordpress-revisions/ https://jetpack.com/blog/wordpress-revisions/ I ran servers for an agency with ~1200 WordPress installs on Azure VMs, and I disabled revisions on every one of the sites. How is that different? Did I fiddle too much, despite it being in official documentation on how to do so? Even despite it being actually recommended by Automattic itself for performance improvements? Many of his complaints don't add up. The copyright and WP confusion, I get...but the rest is largely non-sense. Even his Stripe/Woocommerce complaint is largely bunk. The best outcome is for Matt to step down, Wordpress.org/WP Foundation gets sold to multiple hosting providers (WordPress.com, WPE, 1&1, GoDaddy, etc) and they all commit x amount of money to the project (given it is a very important platform for all of them) and in exchange WPE drops its suit. Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen, because some of this seems very ego driven.
