WordPress.org Services Resume After Holiday Break<\/strong><\/p>\n

Automattician Alex Shiels of the Meta team has announced the resumption of WordPress.org services after the holiday break of two weeks. Users can now register new accounts, submit plugins, themes, and photos, and review plugins once again.<\/p>\n

Background on the Holiday Break<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last month, Matt Mullenweg declared WordPress.org\u2019s first-ever holiday break. He stated, \u201cIn order to give myself and the many tired volunteers around WordPress.org a break for the holidays, we\u2019re going to be pausing a few of the free services currently offered.\u201d Initially, WP Engine was the sole exception, retaining full access to WordPress.org. Later, user registrations were reopened to support WordCamps following a ticket raised by Joost de Valk of Emilia Capital on WordPress GitHub. The ticket highlighted that a WP.org account is required to purchase WordCamp tickets.<\/p>\n

Resumption of Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt did not share a specific date for resuming the services, stating, \u201cI hope to find the time, energy, and money to reopen all of this sometime in the new year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Creating a New Account<\/strong><\/p>\n

To create a new account, users must provide their email address and a username. The registration form includes three checkboxes: confirming acceptance of the Privacy Policy (mandatory), subscribing to the WordPress Announcements mailing list, and the infamous pineapple pizza checkbox. Only accepting the Privacy Policy is required to proceed.<\/p>\n
