Automattic says it will start contributing to WordPress again after pause
parent company Automattic is changing direction... again. In a blog post titled "Returning to Core" published Thursday evening, Automattic announced it will unpause its contributions to the WordPress project. This is despite having said only last month that the 6.8 WordPress release would be the final major release for all of 2025. "After pausing our contributions to regroup, rethink, and plan strategically, we're ready to press play again and return fully to the WordPress project," the new blog post states. "Expect to find our contributions across all of the greatest hits — WordPress Core, Gutenberg, Playground, Openverse, and This return is a moment of excitement for us as it's about continuing the mission we've always believed in: democratizing publishing for everyone, everywhere," it reads. Automattic says it's learned a lot from the pause in terms of the many ways WordPress is used, and that it's now committed to helping it "grow and thrive." The post also notes that WordPress today powers 43% of the web. It's unclear what has changed between then and April. However, according to sources who spoke to TechCrunch, Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg explained in an internal post published last night that he wants to get a 6.9 release out this year with an admin refresh and something from the "new AI team." (The latter references this week's announcement that WordPress formed a new team to steward the development of AI projects.) "I don't think that will happen without our contributions," the post stated, according to a source familiar with the internal discussions. Insiders are speculating there's more to it than that, and various theories are being floated. Some wonder if Mullenweg was pressured into this move or if he realized that pulling back wasn't good for his business or its reputation? Others are debating if this change of heart has to do with Automattic's ongoing litigation with WordPress hosting company, WP Engine, which Automattic has called a "threat" to the WordPress community and a "cancer to WordPress." No one knows what to believe, and none of these backchannel theories line up with the officially stated reason. Automattic was asked for additional comment. Since 2024, Automattic has been engaged in a legal dispute that has to do with how little, in Mullenweg's opinion, WP Engine contributes to the WordPress project, despite its size and revenue. He sees the hosting company as profiting off the open source work WordPress is doing without giving back. Mullenweg also alleges that WP Engine benefits from the confusion between WordPress and commercial services like WP Engine. This led him to ban the company from accessing and sue in court for unauthorized trademark usage. Simply put, Mullenweg thinks WP Engine should either pay a direct licensing fee or up its contributions to the open source WordPress project, or shouldn't be allowed to use its trademark. WP Engine responded that it doesn't think it needs a license and that Automattic misunderstands trademark law, suing Automattic in return. Last month, Automattic laid off 16% of staff, saying the restructuring was necessary to be more agile and improve its productivity and profitability.

Brooklyn Beckham's Family Has Reportedly Labeled Him 'The Hostage' In Marriage To Nicola Peltz Amid Feud
Brooklyn Beckham's loved ones are reportedly concerned about him amid his marriage to Nicola Peltz. Sources claim his family has branded him a "hostage" who's being "controlled" in his marriage to the billionaire heiress, as he seems to now be doing things he's known to have generally despised. His parents, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, feel "betrayed" after the couple skipped the ex-football star's 50th birthday celebration as their strained relationship takes an "unbelievable" twist. David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son, Brooklyn, has sparked worries among his loved ones as he and his wife, Nicola Peltz, continue to be estranged from his family. According to the Daily Mail, Brooklyn is privately known to detest being filmed, and would only do it if he had to, he recently shared a video on Instagram where he's seen riding a motorbike with Nicola, seemingly showing he's siding with her in the bitter feud with his family and would do anything for her. "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby," Brooklyn wrote. However, the video has only raised suspicion amongst his loved ones as his parents fear he is continually under Nicola's control. "Brooklyn is now being referred to as 'the hostage.' He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola, and it is heartbreaking," an insider close to the situation told the news outlet. "Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside," they continued. "He's soppy and he's a romantic, but that video just isn't him. He hates all of that stuff, so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it." Brooklyn, who married Nicola in April 2022 at her parents' £ 76 million home in Palm Beach, Florida, has now become estranged from his family as he sought to carve out his own space away from his parents' shadow. However, his attempt at independence was seemingly met with resistance from his parents. "Brooklyn has been trying to separate himself from his parents, set boundaries, and focus on creating his own life with Nicola, and feels like they have lashed out in return," a source previously shared, per Page Six. The young couple has notably skipped several Beckham family functions, including David's recent golden jubilee celebration. They also didn't attend a big family party at the Beckhams' Cotswolds home, nor make it for an idyllic trip to France, or a meal at Notting Hill restaurant, Core. According to the Daily Mail, Brooklyn also missed a "boys fishing trip" to the Scottish Highlands with David and his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz, and a pre-birthday bash at Cipriani restaurant in Miami at the end of March. The Beckham family feud also seems to be causing friction between Brooklyn and his siblings. He recently jetted into the country for a photo shoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler, but didn't tell David and Victoria he was in town, nor did he find time to see his brothers and sister. Brooklyn is understood to have fallen out with his immediate younger brother Romeo during the time of his wedding with Nicola, when the actress seemingly refused to speak to Romeo's then-girlfriend Mia Regan. However, Brooklyn's relationship with his youngest brother, Cruz, or sister, Harper, seems to have also soured. "Brooklyn has barely ever had a cross word with Cruz - and yet he hasn't seen him for ages," an insider shared, per the Daily Mail. "You have to wonder if he isn't allowed [to see him]." They continued, "Then there is Harper. It is absolutely heartbreaking that Brooklyn and Nicola didn't bother to see her when they came to London last week." "Nicola used to be all over her like a rash, posing for pictures and putting them on TikTok or Instagram, saying that Harper was her little sister," the insider shared, adding that Nicola was perhaps "using" Harper "for her own image." "Whatever the reason, to cut a young girl out of this when she literally has had no part to play is cruel," the source noted. "It is just unbelievable that Brooklyn would do this of his own accord. Meanwhile, David and Victoria reportedly "feel betrayed" by their eldest son after he skipped his dad's 50th birthday milestone celebration. "Victoria and David haven't called, texted, or messaged Brooklyn directly since the birthday party," an insider told Us Weekly, describing their absence as "a blow" to their once-strong familial bond. The source explained that there is "very deep tension rooted in control and different plans for Brooklyn's future." "Nicola comes from a powerful family," the source noted of her parents: billionaire hedge fund founder Nelson Peltz and former fashion model Claudia Heffner. "David and Victoria are used to being in control [of situations like this] and there has been a shift." Although friends and family close to the Beckhams believe there's a "long road to mending" strained ties, the insider shared that "there's a desire to mend on David and Victoria's part." Brooklyn may be distanced from his famous family, but he's reportedly leaning heavily on the unwavering support of Nicola. According to insiders who spoke to TMZ, the couple feels exhausted and frustrated with what they describe as the "toxic" and "narcissistic" behavior of David and Victoria. One source alleged that the former football player often "verbally berates" Brooklyn during phone calls. Victoria is said to follow up tense moments with carefully crafted texts to Nicola, supposedly to make it seem like David "didn't just scream at Brooklyn for an hour."

Brooklyn Beckham branded 'hostage' by family amid concerns he's become Nicola's 'puppet'
Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly known as 'the hostage' in his marriage to Nicola Peltz as an insider shares what David and Victoria Beckham really think The Beckham family have reportedly long understood that Brooklyn Beckham cannot stand being on camera. He avoids it whenever possible - except when filming his cooking videos, according to a source. Despite growing up in the spotlight around flashing lights and fame, with both David and Victoria being global icons for decades, their eldest son was never one to join in, according to his mum and dad. Despite this, a new video has emerged showing 26-year-old Brooklyn revving a motorbike alongside his wife, 30-year-old Nicola Peltz in Beverly Hills - a striking display of their relationship. More than just a romantic outing, the post is widely seen as Brooklyn throwing his full support behind Nicola, amid the ongoing tensions with his family. Sources close to his mother and father suggest their frustration is now completely directed at their daughter-in-law, the Mirror reports. Alongside the video, Brooklyn wrote: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby." The message seems to be a clear nod to the ongoing family rift. It's the first time either Brooklyn or Nicola have made a public gesture acknowledging the very visible divide within the Beckham family. Earlier this month, the pair were noticeably absent from David's 50th birthday celebrations, snubbing every event entirely - which reportedly left the Beckham family not only hurt, but also alarmed. Sources now claim that David and Victoria's eldest son is being "held hostage" by his wife. 'Brooklyn is now being referred to as 'the hostage.' He is in a situation where those who love Brooklyn fear that he is being controlled by Nicola and it is heartbreaking,' an insider told Mail Online. They continued: 'Videos like this are just not what he does. He will be dying inside. He's soppy and he's a romantic, but that video just isn't him. He hates all of that stuff so you have to wonder if Nicola was behind it.' According to sources, David and Victoria have washed their hands of Nicola following the endless tension and issues since her and Brooklyn's £3 million wedding in April 2022 at her family's Palm Beach Estate mansion, worth $76 million. Brooklyn and Nicola not only missed David's birthday celebrations, but also a string of family moments, including a casual get together at the Beckhams' Cotswolds retreat, a holiday in France, a dinner at the upscale London restaurant Core and even a fishing trip in the Scottish Highlands with his dad and younger brothers - Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 19. Brooklyn also failed to attend a pre-birthday party in Miami at Cipriani in March. His social ties have reportedly shifted too, once close with Jack Ramsey, son of Scots chef Gordon Ramsay, and Rocco Ritchie, son of director Guy Richie, Brooklyn is no longer spending time with them. Perhaps the most painful moment was just last week, when Brooklyn and Nicola flew into London for a Moncler fashion shoot - just a few miles from the Beckham home in Holland Park - yet they still made no effort to connect. Nicola, though absent from the shoot's location, revealed her involvement online, while Brooklyn was seen posing with a bike in an off-white Moncler coat. The post made its way online just before David appeared at the Chelsea Flower Show, and it was through Nicola's Instagram post he learned the couple were in England. By Tuesday, the pair had already returned home to America, without making any contact with any of the Beckham family. Brooklyn's growing distance from his brother Romeo is well known, but his apparent avoidance of his youngest sibling, Harper, has reportedly been extremely painful for the family. In the early stages of their relationship, Nicola frequently posted affectionate content with Harper, calling her "my little sister" and regularly including her in TikTok and Instagram posts. Elsewhere, just hours after Brooklyn's Instagram declaration, Cruz appeared to respond in his own way, publicly showing his loyalty to their parents. 'I love my family. I love you guys more than anything, mum and dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we are to have you in our lives,' he wrote. An insider reflected on Brooklyn's absence, claiming: 'He and Cruz barely ever argued. And yet they haven't seen each other in ages. You have to wonder if he isn't allowed [to see him]." They added: 'And then there's Harper. It's absolutely heartbreaking that Brooklyn and Nicola didn't even try to see her while they were in London. Nicola used to dote on her, posting about how much she adored Harper. Was it all just for image? Whatever the reason, excluding a young girl who's done nothing wrong is just cruel.' They came to the conclusion that "there's no way Brooklyn would willingly shut out his family like this. It just doesn't add up."
