As you might have noticed, our main website and our wiki, Discovery, are having issues due to a severe compromise at the WordPress backend. We are shutting down both websites and are going to replace the main website with an Astro based one.. This can take some more hours, before our website is back online. But we are working hard to get us back up running again. For the moment, we are working on the main website for a quick replacement, Discovery will take longer. Unfortunately, therefore, our wiki will be unavailable for some time. We regret having to take this decision, and hope you will understand the situation. * * * followup: > [@Discovery is under construction](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/discovery-is-under-construction/81321): > > This article is a follow-up on our thread about the WordPress websites[being compromised](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/the-main-website-and-discovery-are-down-due-to-severe-compromise/81317). Luckily, @dalto and @sradjoker managed at superhero speed, first trying to save the WordPress sites, then switching our main website from WordPress to a [new website based on Astro](https://endeavouros.com/). Thank you, guys, for putting all this effort into it on your Saturday night!!! The Discovery website is still down, and this will remain so until we have finished a new website for it. Unfortunately, this will take some time. F… ---

As a person who has seen this happen elsewhere… I have found mkdocs (combined with mkdocs-material) to be an excellent (and more secure) option. [https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/](https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/) ---

If I’m honest, I prefer the new look site much better. It’s cleaner and responds faster, and easier to navigate. Great work, team! ---

> [@dalto](#): > > The new main website is available now @sradjoker Some of my browsers are blocking direct navigation to `www.endeavouros.com`, whereas direct navigation to `endeavouros.com` works fine. Other browsers, though, are allowing the redirection from `www.endeavouros.com` to `endeavouros.com`. The problem seems to be that the SSL/TLS certificate for the site, under **Subject Alt Names** , shows only `endeavouros.com`, not `www.endeavouros.com`: `endeavouros.com` **Edit:** The forums are using a SSL/TLS certificate with broader coverage under **Subject Alt Names** : ```auto endeavouros.com www.endeavouros.com forum.endeavouros.com arm.endeavouros.com discovery.endeavouros.com ``` ---

I run a couple of Wordpress sites myself. Can you share what the compromise was? DM if you can share. ---

Wordpress is da poop anyway, has been for years now. I personally use Ghost for my blog now. Never heard of Astro before, must give it a looky-see 🙂
