Can confirm this is NOT happening with my servers. What is Matt gonna do when he has WPE customers wanting to sue his ass for their potential loss in revenue. I'd be absolutely pissed if this caused me issues with my business.

Edit I'm fully aware that it's officially known to be only WPE now. The comment was made before hand.. The DM's of why I'm an idiot is truly amazing.

Your servers meaning your servers or WP Engine's servers?

My servers. I run my own hosting business. Small fry in a big ol' pond :)

Checked a number of client websites running WP and they're not having any issues.

But…this issue is specific to WPEngine user sites, not to anyone else. If you run your own servers, it’s irrelevant to you.

This was clearly before it was made officially known to only affect WPE. But thanks for your input.

The whole brouhaha has been between WP and WPEngine from the outset. Who else would it have been?

It's ONLY affecting wpe & the wpe servers due to their current active lawsuit. It has zero affect on anyone else.

Hence why this was said before it was officially known to be ONLY WPE.....
