So rumor has it Treehouse is stopping production of the WordPress courses, which blows my mind because WordPress is the structure of some 23%-25% of all websites on the internet right now. That being said will the current courses and workshops remain here archived or will they be removed? I like revisiting old completed courses and refreshing what I know so I would like to be able to do the same with these.

Losing WordPress on Treehouse is very disappointing to me too, but I would bet that they made this decision based on internal data and the numbers just weren't adding up. IMO too much time was spent lately on producing WordPress courses that were very entry-level. It was a lot of stuff that could be easily found for free elsewhere and probably didn't attract a lot of new members. That being said I really have no clue if focusing on the more advanced stuff would have made this outcome any different.

42,478 PointsWell hopefully since its not just a course that is being phased out but an entire framework they will archive it so we can still access it even if it is on youtube or something.
