The Banning of WP Engine from WordPress.org Resources

In an effort to restrict WP Engine's ability to host and support WordPress projects, Mullenweg banned the company from accessing WordPress.org resources, including plugins and themes. This move was seen as an attempt to limit WP Engine's ability to provide support and services to WordPress users. However, Mullenweg later provided a temporary reprieve, allowing WP Engine to access WordPress.org resources until October 1.
