About Chris Wiegman

I’m a former WordPress contributor who built numerous large plugins, spoke at and organized dozens of WordCamps and Meetups and moderated the WordPress jobs site for over 11 years. While I had slowly stopped supporting WordPress over the years due to the project leadership’s abuse of the community and its members, I stepped away from the project completely in 2024 following the project’s turn on the community at WCUS. This account now exists only for a historical record until such a time as when project leadership changes.
