A word about wordpress cms,
I have some small webdesign clients getting orders here and there some times.(small money) .
I have a client small business with 5 wordpress sites he can not login, a big Elementor Pro error shows up.
Could fix this problem, an existing bug in Elementor Pro.
This is what I not like on wordpress an unstable hobbyist web cms system, plugins not work, bugs in plugins, any another errors coming up. This is really crap not world class programming cms.
Or some months later you can not login in wp admin, google shows wrong username/passwort, then you must go into phpmyadmin and reset the login password, what is this a really mess.
It's like the godaddy bottom feed to customers for the mass it's not bad yeah, but not world class.
When you say; yeah big newapaper companies uses wordpress, oh man you live in delusion world.
The newspaper companies have a modeled version of wordpress ,complete different than the version we use.
Do you think they spend a few hours every second month on updates and plugin fixes and such crap? Really?
That is my view, Drupal on the other side a more stable closed system with own plugins, but so complicated most users can not handle this cms thing like myself.
Really good cms are very expensive.
So I not have found a alternative to wordpress who is easy to use has many plugin integrates but as a closed system, cms like ghost , Laravel all these are way too complicated for me to understand.
So I must live with wordpress.
I like such alternatives like site builders from webhosters , but they have limitations, limitations of blog posts you can have and much more, squarespace is the one exception.
A easy to use site builder without blog post limitations and good seo core that could be an alternative.
These free cms all have the same problems like wordpress maybe exception Drupal but too complicated to use.
Ideal solution would be a stable closed system , free, drag and drop cms, who has many plugins integrated, a system without plugin bugs from third party programers.
Wordpress isa love and hate thing, when you use only a handful basic plugins you should not have problems.
But that google can show up errors when you try to login in wp admin , with this you must live that can happen, then you must go into your phpmyadmin database and reset your password, maybe reset htaccess again.
How could such thing happen to world class cms?
Have a good night evening rest !
