WordPress.org Introduces Pineapple Pizza Checkbox Amid Legal Battle

In a quirky twist amid the legal battle between Automattic and WP Engine, WordPress.org now requires users to declare their love for pineapple on pizza to log in. This humorous mandate, introduced on December 17, 2024, follows a court ruling aimed at preventing Automattic from blocking WP Engine’s access. As discussions heat up on social media, this unique checkbox reflects the ongoing tension in the WordPress community and raises questions about trademark practices and corporate responsibility.
