This site and the WordPress ecosystem
Press & Proof is an independent publication that writes about the WordPress ecosystem — the software, the hosts that run it, and the tools built around it. This page is the formal version of something we want to be unmistakable: we cover WordPress; we are not WordPress.
The trademark
WordPress® is a registered trademark of the WordPress Foundation. This site uses the word "WordPress" nominatively — to refer to the software and ecosystem it reports on — and for no other purpose. Press & Proof is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the WordPress Foundation or by Automattic Inc., and nothing here should be read as an official WordPress resource. The official project lives at wordpress.org.
Companies we cover — and are paid by
Some of the companies this site covers also pay us referral commissions through the affiliate programs listed in our affiliate disclosure. The registry below is the complete list of partner links in use; every one of them routes through a /go/ path so you can always tell a monetized link from an editorial one.

Non-affiliation, stated plainly
A partner relationship means a company's referral link appears on this site — nothing more. No company listed above (nor the WordPress Foundation, nor Automattic) reviews, approves, or endorses our articles, and none of them had a say in this page. All product names, logos, and brands mentioned on this site are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.
