About Us
The Repository is an independent media business dedicated to covering what’s happening in the WordPress ecosystem.
Since 2019, we have served a WordPress-focused audience via our popular weekly newsletter designed for people who want their news fast. In 2024, we’re expanding our offering to deliver news reporting for those who want to dive deeper into the latest headlines.
WordPress is changing, and not just the open source software. The community, businesses, and ecosystem that support, contribute, and rely on it are also evolving. We’re committed to the stories, the people, and the economy that support and work with WordPress.
For all of this, The Repository relies on you. We want to serve as many people as possible. That’s why our content is free—no paywalls and no subscription fees. So we count on the support and generosity of businesses that operate in the WordPress space and a growing community of members.
Thank you for supporting The Repository!
