Community feedback and support from co-founder Matt Mullenweg influenced this decision. The checkbox stemmed from a legal dispute and received mixed reactions, prompting ongoing discussions about suitable alternatives aligning with the Community Code of Conduct. ## Content # WordPress.org Updates Pineapple Pizza Checkbox Requirement WordPress.org has revised its login form by making the previously mandatory pineapple pizza checkbox optional. This decision follows a Twitter poll showing that 81.2% of users opposed the requirement. The change was influenced by community advocacy and support from Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress. Initially, the login form featured a quirky requirement asking users to agree that 'Pineapple is delicious on pizza.' This came as part of a legal dispute between WordPress developer Automattic and WP Engine. The court ordered Automattic to lift the access restrictions that led to this checkbox's introduction. Reactions from the WordPress community have been mixed. While some users found the checkbox amusing, others criticized it as unprofessional. The controversy highlighted the ongoing discussions about more serious and appropriate alternatives for the login form that align with the Community Code of Conduct. As the WordPress.org team continues to engage with community feedback, it remains committed to improving user experience while ensuring adherence to its standards. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#webdev](https://daily.dev/tags/webdev), [#wordpress](https://daily.dev/tags/wordpress), [#legal](https://daily.dev/tags/legal) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/wordpress-org-introduces-quirky-pineapple-pizza-login-checkbox-amid-legal-battle-6hxyaabet) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"WordPress.org Introduces Quirky Pineapple Pizza Login Checkbox Amid Legal Battle","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/wordpress-org-introduces-quirky-pineapple-pizza-login-checkbox-amid-legal-battle-6hxyaabet","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/wordpress-org-introduces-quirky-pineapple-pizza-login-checkbox-amid-legal-battle-6hxyaabet"},"datePublished":"2024-12-17T12:14:52.332Z","dateModified":"2024-12-19T04:30:38.692Z","description":"WordPress.org has made the previously mandatory pineapple pizza checkbox on its login form optional after 81.2% of users opposed it in a Twitter poll....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/13bc1f62268f8bfedf0e9f4177f492cc?_a=AQAEuj9","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/13bc1f62268f8bfedf0e9f4177f492cc?_a=AQAEuj9","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collections","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collections","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--fk_6ycEi--/f_auto,q_auto/v1780996001/logos/collections?_a=BAMAMiWQ0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/wordpress-org-introduces-quirky-pineapple-pizza-login-checkbox-amid-legal-battle-6hxyaabet","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":2},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"webdev,wordpress,legal","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collections","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collections"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"WordPress.org Introduces Quirky Pineapple Pizza Login Checkbox Amid Legal Battle"}]} ```
