What The Eff WordPress?

I use my blog as a way to store notes and links for myself, so I can come back later. This morning, very early in the morning, I needed to look something up. I have a post: https://www.gerisch.org/wordpress-copy-to-test-environment/ which has what I need.

But the link to Rose Hosting did not work.

WTF WordPress?

Here’s what it looks like inside WordPress:

You can see that the link edit has a URL that has https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-install-wordpress-on-debian-12/

But that link doesn’t work‽

Here’s what Firefox shows when I inspect the HTML for that link:

Here’s what that highlighted part (in blue, on the left) says in that screenshot: http://I am following the instructions here at Rose Hosting

WTF‽

Meanwhile, Matt Mullenweg is pissing all over the WordPress community over petty grubbing for money.

Fix your damn shit, Matt.
