WordPress is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 2003, it operates with approximately 7,560 employees. The company functions as a web publishing software.
WordPress launched its 7.1 release, code-named "Mary Lou," on August 19, 2026, introducing native responsive styling for compatible block themes, richer Notes for team feedback, browser-based image processing, new Tabs and Playlist blocks, and several admin improvements. Earlier on August 27, WordPress announced it signed the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter, an open letter urging US policymakers to avoid early restrictions on open-weight AI models. These models allow users to download, inspect, modify, and run them on their own infrastructure. Also on August 27, a suspected Chinese-speaking operator exploited known WordPress and ownCloud vulnerabilities to gather sensitive information. The intrusion affected a Philippine nuclear research body and a marine engineering company that serves the Philippine Navy, demonstrating how unpatched internet-facing systems can expose data with national-security value.
