Automattic Says It Will Start Contributing To WordPress Again After Pause
WordPress.com parent company Automattic is changing direction... again. From a report: 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 WordPress.org. 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.
