Would you mind sharing which server please?

UK Govt. stupidity aside, Apple could allow iOS users to switch their backup provider from iCloud to other services or backup targets. But they won't because they want to continue to grow their services revenue.

“WordPress is in trouble” depends on what “WordPress” is.

WordPress the supply chain is currently dependent on wordpress.org. The community is working to route around this by decentralising distribution - see efforts such as AspirePress.

WordPress the software development project is dependent on wordpress.org, and there is no way to route around this unless Matt agrees to give up his DFL position or a fork is created.

WordPress the brand is being tarnished, mostly by Matt’s actions. wpdrama creates a riskier environment when assessing whether to use it as a CMS.

WordPress the community is being denigrated and diminished. Again, I think only a change in governance can resolve that.

ClassicPress is the only public one with any traction. wordpress.com could be considered a private fork.

There is no fork at the moment, there was only discussion of how to move releases forward on PostStatus Slack. It's a purge.

I don't know what you mean by "bumpy road". ACF has been solid for years, and has received excellent care and updates since moving to Delicious Brains and then WP Engine.

I wonder what LBJ would make of that statement?

One person's divisive, minority issue is another's fight for the fundamental right to be treated equally under the law.

Could you please consider adding support for custom fields as part of this? For example, to be really useful in the in the UK, donation links would need to ask if the donor is eligible for Gift Aid (which increases donations by 25%). This then needs at least house/flat number and postcode to make a valid Gift Aid application (and some organisations may ask for more address details than that).

With those additional fields it would mean we could post donation links all over the place, and then get donor details out of Stripe for the donations team. Thanks :)

Great write up, thank you! Looking at your blog post, it seems that once I've followed your guide, I only need to forward port 51820 from my router to the WG server. Is that correct?

Sorry, that's incorrect. Shortcuts are available independent of Siri being enabled - I've just checked this by disabling Siri on my phone.
