THIS ONE’S FOR YOU PHILLY!

[WP Engine @wpengine]

We appreciate @jdevalk and @karimmarucchi thoughtful call for constructive conversation, change and evolved leadership within the WordPress community. Moments of disruption challenge all of us to reflect and to act.

WordPress’s success as the most widely used CMS is not the achievement of any one person, or a single piece of open-source code. It is the result of a global community - thousands of developers, agencies, businesses, and others – who have invested their time, talent, trust and resources in advocating for, supporting and building the global WordPress ecosystem and technology.

It is the community that has given WordPress its strength and where its future lies. For the entirety of our existence, our mission has been clear: to deliver a reliable, secure and scalable platform, supporting wider adoption and growth of WordPress. That’s a mission we take seriously.

We are committed to working with Joost, Karim, and other respected voices in the community to ensure WordPress’s future is stronger than ever. This requires collaboration, transparency, and action—and we stand ready to offer ideas, technology and support as we move forward together.

We're pleased to share that our team has had account access restored on WordPress dot org along with control of the ACF plugin repo.

This means all ACF users can rest assured that the ACF team you trust is once again maintaining the plugin.

There’s no action required if you have installed ACF directly from the ACF website or you are an ACF PRO user.

[Brian Gardner @bgardner]

ICYMI, #WordPress dot org has forcibly taken control of our Advanced Custom Fields (@wp_acf) plugin and renamed it without our consent. We are committed to further developing the ACF plugin through our website, ensuring users receive new features and maintenance updates. 😎

[Advanced Custom Fields @wp_acf]

We have been made aware that the Advanced Custom Fields plugin on the WordPress directory has been taken over by WordPress dot org.

A plugin under active development has never been unilaterally and forcibly taken away from its creator without consent in the 21 year history of WordPress.

Today, we’ve released @wp_acf 6.2.5 which is an important security release.

It contains changes to HTML escaping in the ACF shortcode, and warns of upcoming changes to `the_field` when fields contain potentially unsafe HTML.

@iamjankoch @dliciousbrains @Docker Nice! Yeah, WSL 2 + the new Docker is a huge step up from WSL 1 or just plain old Windows.
