Can anyone point to a good summary of what in the everliving fuck is happening at/with Wordpress? I really, really don't want to have to give a shit about this, but need to take care of a bunch of legacy clients...

So a despicable nerd and a despicable company are fighting and the collateral damage is an extremely widely used plugin that now represents a security risk to millions of sites, is that about it?

@entreprecariat Advanced Custom Fields. If you're using ACF Pro you're fine, but ACF free has been hijacked from its developers (now WPEngine) by WP. Won't be an immediate issue but bound to not go well. The fix currently recommended by WPEngine (switching to "Secure Custom Fields") will break your shit if you're also using additional supplementary plugins like repeater fields etc. It's a mess.

@entreprecariat You and like over 2 million others. There's big lawsuits and drama in the air. Like I said, it won't go bad immediately but keep an eye on it. I was Adobe buying Macromedia levels of annoyed when ACF got bought by WPEngine exactly because some stupid shit like this was bound to happen eventually.
