| It’s HN. This is where WordPress comes to get bashed :-) Although - to be fair, I’m not seeing nearly as many anti-WP comments as you’d expect here - most people are being reasonably balanced with their criticisms. As a long time WP agency owner I agree with a fair number of the comments. My main beef now with the platform is that there are three fairly distinct types of WordPress in 2024. 1) “Classic” WordPress with no Gutenberg: great for data rich sites where you want many custom post types and taxonomies 2) “Gutenberg” WordPress for rich front end editing 3) “FSE” WordPress for quickly throwing up a one pager or simple brochureware site I wish WP was a bit more vocal about explaining these types and how they differ. And in fact I think they’re sufficiently distinct that the installation path should be explicit about these types and which to choose. There are of course endless things that really should be in core and not provided by plugins - it’s sometimes galling to have a team pushing endless changes out to Gutenberg when the underlying software doesn’t have obvious stuff. Page duplication, acf style custom field support, rich seo, sitemaps, better media handling, etc - all of this should just be there without plugins. But - as said above, it’s easy to snipe and overall I bloody love most of the whole ecosystem :-) |
You can have a full fledged site and blog using it. Not sure what you mean by this comment.
