It’s the classic case of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. Many developers, website owners, businesses and organizations are finding themselves in quite the conundrum as CEOs feud and greed seems to be the center of the argument. While that is beside the point, at least not what we are centralized on, here is what is important to know:

WordPress has blocked (at least for now) hosting provider WP Engine from accessing its resources. WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg and CEO of Automattic, states in a recent WordPress article informing concerned WP Engine users and clients.

“What I will tell you is that, pending their legal claims and litigation against WordPress.org, WP Engine no longer has free access to WordPress.org’s resources.”

This is all very fresh and the dust is still settling in this matter. It is effecting many users in a very negative way. Until action is being taken and the matter is entirely resolved, here is a helpful work around instructional article to manually work around this. 

Developers are always crafty in creating workarounds to the ever changing world of tech. Here is another work around one of our team members discovered on Redit. If you are interested in this story check out WP Engine and Automattic Trade Cease-and-Desist Letters After Matt Mullenweg Jabs.
