Automattic launches WP Engine tracker amid ongoing legal dispute, records mass customer exodus

As Automattic and WP Engine’s trademark dispute intensifies, Automattic’s WP Engine Tracker shows over 16,000 domains moving away from WP Engine. At TechCrunch Disrupt, WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg predicted the provider would lose 8% of its customers, while Automattic’s X account promotes alternative hosting. Both sides continue to file motions, escalating a legal battle that has WP Engine fighting to maintain its WordPress association.
