WordPress banned in Pakistan (temporary) due to security issues – PTA Reported that ban might be lifted in next two days

OMG! you are not going to read this :( . If you are a blogger and belongs to Pakistan then i damn sure it gonna hurts you. According to PTA Officials, WordPress banned in Pakistan due to security reasons and the ban might be lifted in next two days. I myself try to open some wordpress.com hosted blogs and i am socked to see it show me same blocking error as it was mention on youtube.

According to pro blogger Pakistan news sources, “WordPress.com has been blocked due to security reasons with reference to the Pakistan Day“. The exact nature of “threat” on WordPress.com that triggered the blocking is unreported.

If you have self-hosted website or blog powered by wordpress then you no need to take worry because this blocking is just for wordpress.com hosted blogs not for self-hosted websites. you may also like to read How to install WordPress on xampp windows 7, 8.
