Month in WordPress: January 2025
Table of Contents
1. Automattic vs. WP Engine: A Month of Silence
January brought no major updates to the ongoing dispute between Automattic and WP Engine. It seems that the industry has grown weary of the drama, with most key players having already made their positions clear. For now, Automattic appears to be taking a pause, allowing the controversy to fade while the community refocuses on their own priorities.
Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic, recently stated that he expects the conflict to be resolved within months and ultimately forgotten. However, no concrete actions have been taken in January to indicate a resolution is underway
Meanwhile, WordPress 6.7.2 was released with only minor bug fixes, offering no clues about any forthcoming major shifts.
Although the core dispute has quieted, its ripple effects continue to shape the community. Joost de Valk, CEO of Yoast, and Marieke van de Rakt have acquired Post Status, a closed community hub, and are transitioning it into a non-profit to foster a more independent WordPress ecosystem.
In a further sign of shifting dynamics, GoDaddy donated $500,000 to The WP Community Collective, a recently established non-profit focused on supporting open-source contributions. This move suggests a broader shift among major players toward strengthening the independent WordPress ecosystem.
For now, the WordPress world remains in a state of cautious stillness—waiting to see what happens next.
2. WP Security News
January saw a row of security vulnerabilities patched across popular WordPress plugins and themes. Here’s a quick rundown:
- GiveWP Plugin – A critical vulnerability was patched that could have exposed donor and transaction data, posing a risk to fundraising sites.
- Better Find and Replace Plugin – A privilege escalation vulnerability was patched, which could have allowed unauthorized users to gain admin access.
- Real Home Theme – Another unauthenticated privilege escalation flaw was found and fixed, preventing potential attackers from elevating their access levels without credentials.
- Fancy Product Designer Plugin – Multiple critical vulnerabilities were identified and patched, closing off potential exploits that could have led to site takeovers.
If you're using any of these plugins or themes, make sure to update them immediately to secure your site.

Traditionally, we review changes and improvements across the web platform as a whole.
5.1) Tailwind CSS v4 Released
Tailwind CSS has unveiled version 4.0, introducing several enhancements:
- CSS-First Configuration: Customize and extend the framework directly within your CSS files, eliminating the need for a separate JavaScript configuration file.
- New High-Performance Engine: The reengineered core offers full builds up to 3.5 times faster and incremental builds over 8 times faster, significantly improving development speed.
- Built-In Import Support: Seamlessly import CSS files without additional tooling, simplifying the integration of multiple stylesheets.
