Relax. It's summer.
The best ideas come from a still mind.
The WordPress Scandal.
If you are nervous about your WordPress website, you have absolutely no reason to be if it is built and hosted by Via Maria.
The juicy story: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com
The non-profit wordpress.org hijacked a plug-in from this company. WordPress.org is a non-profit and has no business doing what it just did. You can google for all the down and dirty details. It's juicy!
We build our websites with WordPress and X Theme (ThemeCo) while hosting all of your content and data files on our server. They cannot take anything away from us. Read more from the developer of X Theme. Disregard the bible stuff at the bottom of the article, I don't know why they felt it was important to add that to a business post. Sigh. #electionyear https://theme.co/blog/a-word-to-themeco-customers-concerning-the-current-events-in-wordpress
We do NOT offer any services using SquareSpace and Wix because there is no control over the website.
