Earlier this month, WordPress took control of ACF and forked it, citing <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/wordpress\/wporg-plugin-guidelines\/blob\/trunk\/guideline-18.md\">developer guidelines<\/a>, which gives them control to change a plug-in \u00a0\u201cwithout developer consent, in the name of public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the latest filing, WP Engine seeks to restore the \u201cstatus quo as it existed prior to September 20, 2024\u201d in terms of the company\u2019s access to the open-source repo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWPE respectfully requests that the Court issue a preliminary injunction restoring and preserving the status quo as it existed prior to Defendants\u2019 wrongful actions described above. The preliminary injunction requires no security because returning the situation to the status quo will have no negative effect on Defendants,\u201d the court filing read.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company added that these protections should also be extended to its affiliates, partners, employees, users, and customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, Mullenweg added a new checkbox to the WordPress.org contributor login, asking people to verify that they were not associated with WP Engine in any way earlier this month. At that time, contributors said that they were\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JavierCasares\/status\/1843963052183433331\">banned from<\/a>\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jonoalderson\/status\/1843985559745921046\">the community Slack<\/a>\u00a0for criticizing the move.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
