Ricky Blacker, Head of Technical Services at WP Engine, has long championed website accessibility during his career. So when WP Accessibility reached out, he was eager to get involved with this year’s WordPress Accessibility Day, leading coverage for the APAC region. 🌏
WordPress Accessibility Day is a free 24-hour online event featuring live-streamed presentations with live captions and ASL interpretation. After the event, all sessions will be transcribed, captioned, and available to watch on-demand.

We are pleased to report that our solution has been fully deployed and regular workflow practices have been restored to our customers around the globe. We thank all our customers for their patience and support over the past week. Like so many of you, we love WordPress, and are committed to the stability and longevity of the community.
Thousands of WordPress community members have once again been blocked from accessing WordPress.org. WP Engine has commenced deployment of its solution for accessing updates and installations for plugins and themes across our customers’ sites. We expect deployment of the solution to all customers to be completed within the hour.
Since our founding in 2010, WP Engine has been dedicated to advancing the use and adoption of WordPress through innovation, investment, and active community involvement. We are proud of our extensive contributions to the WordPress ecosystem which has grown far beyond the core open-source project. The recent attacks against us are unfair and untrue and clearly designed to harm our business. Our employees, customers and the WordPress community deserve better. While these developments are unfortunate, they will not slow us down. We remain focused on serving our customers, supporting our team members and our agency partners, and fulfilling our mission which puts the growth and success of the WordPress ecosystem at the heart of everything we do.
Since 2010, WP Engine has been deeply dedicated to advancing the use and adoption of WordPress through innovation, investment, and active community involvement. Today, we’re sharing how we continue to invest and support the WordPress ecosystem.

Hey @cointreau_us marketing team… from a fellow marketer, the margawrong/margaright commercials are top notch. I will 100% be ordering a margaright asap because it’s all I’ve been thinking about after binging a season of The Bear on @hulu 🍹
I've been holding on to a secret - one that I am so excited to finally reveal.

@TiffAnddd It's important to us that every customer feels welcome and valued every time they fly. We'd like to have a specialist take a closer look at this. DM your record locator and your phone and email address for a follow-up if needed.
