At least they (back-door) owned up to it. “Code is Poetry” is no longer in the footer of the WordPress pages when you login to your WordPress website.
Looks like the WordPress powers that be killed WordPress. I’m looking for a different platform now, and I believed in it so much I authored the book WORDPRESS WEBSITES FOR BUSINESS https://wildbluepress.com/wordpress-websites-business-michael-cordova/. I’ve had to hire new people to manage the mess, the vendors I work with that manage many of my sites are over taxed dealing with it, and the professional theme companies I work with are overloaded with fixing their problems associated with it. In my estimation the cost of working with WordPress has easily tripled after Gutenberg.
I am really pissed off about it because I do this for clients. I don’t have egg on my face, I’m buried six feet under. Literally. I hope I can survive.
This is the worst decision I have ever seen by a software company. WordPress needs to address this in the short-term, or they’ll no longer have a company. They need a clear path to a real solution or everyone will bail. I certainly can no longer recommend them as the commercial-quality solution I have recommended for many years.
What an embarrassment. Nobody is owning up to this. Was there a lot of money involved? Why else would they do this?
The beginning of the end.?!
