many people have done WGU no problem
I'm confused. This thread doesn't even mention WGU at all. What are you referring to?
That quote was from the second line of the OP's section on their background. Though they don't really go into any detail.
Considering that the WGU CS degree didn't even go live until summer 2018, and it sounds like they signed up right after that, chances are that they experienced some hiccups with the launch of the CS program. I know they've made a number of changes to the CS program since it originally launched, so I expect that the issues that they had have probably been resolved. There are dozens of people on this forum alone who have managed to successfully complete degrees (multiple degrees in some cases) at WGU and I've only seen a few issues brought up. Most of the time WGU is pretty good about resolving them. I personally know a few people who have either completed the BSCS or are in the middle of completing it now so it can't be too messed up.
I'm actually considering going back to complete a BS CS at WGU. In fact, I have a call scheduled with an admissions counselor tomorrow to see if they can run my eval to tell me what my balance of credits looks like. Looking at their transfer guide it seems like I should only need ~30 credits or so given my other degrees, so I can probably bang that out in a few months or less. I need to take some of those same courses to prepare for my Ph.D. studies anyway so this would allow me to kill two birds with the same stone. I am currently taking courses from Coursera, but I figure I might as well earn a degree while I'm at it.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
