So OP, what is your alternative to Wordpress because i must admit, you raised some very valid points there. i am a perfectionist and to tell you the truth, WP doesn't give me 100% satisfaction. |

WordPress is the best CMS. Period. |

pcguru1: Someone feels my pain. I moved to html and pure .php last year November. I still love Wordpress but not for my bulk jobs. I remember spending 10hours to upload Wordpress files because I designed offline and I ended up with broken images and links. My first pure .php site didn't take an hour to upload. Also the woo-commerce themes and plugins ....urrrgggghhhh no ways, .php gave me a fast route. |

I haven't used Joomla much, I have been in love with WordPress from the first time I stumbled upon it but it is too heavy. Imagine spending hours making your own theme and customizing it and it looks beautiful only for it to take ages to upload. I still include WordPress into my .php works as the blog or just hyperlink the blog script to a WordPress blog. Wordpress is like a babe you love but she just doesn't want to watch her weight. Now her lovers are leaving her. I'd forever remember WordPress for saving me from Blogger.com and leading me to pure script coding. 1 Like |

niyyie: niyyie: No body is saying WordPress is the worst CMS but they are bottle neck attached yo it. I for one hate WordPress Database design. Have you tried using MongoDb? Or any of the NoSql Database, you will see designs of database system and learn to aprecistr it. WordPress Database is crap, when you build a plugin you may end up adding a row or deleting a row in installation. Also if you are used to programming in OOP and a string fan of framework ( I am Pro YIi2 ) then you do understand why procedural is difficult. I have used WordPress , modified it beyond recognition but truth be told you just end up spending hours over things that can be easily completed using a class in OOP. WordPress needs a total overhaul, I hate joonla do the the JController pattern and their MVC is really not MVC but I say HMVC, the JTemplate, JView , Jcontroller, Jcomponents for front and separate Jcomponents for back end. Gosh!!!! Who does that? With Yii I ensure admin page for a section e.g Post Blog and frontend for View Blog uses one controller. All I do is to set up rules in router to ensure that any method starting with Admin_ can be read only through specially designed URLs. I wish joomla can address all this. 1 Like |

GodMode: Someone told me about Drupal one time, but I haven't considered it yet. |
Re: Why I Dumped Wordpress As A CMS (my Experience) by Nobody: 5:18pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
In pure .php, except it is needed, I don't need to carry database around and start renaming and un-naming databases. I still love WordPress though. |

@Pcguru1 Nice to see you still using Yii. However I don't seem to get your love for Dojikit. Lol! JavaScript Freak. I just love using Jquery and AngularJs( lazy me). I think Dojokit is hard. Also why don't you give Yii2 a try and see things change. I am enjoying it. Cc: Mizmycoli |

rhema4u: Drupal is nice , especially Drupal 8 I love drupal and it's rooting system. But I still think drupal needs to learn a lot if things |

CRAZYMADMAN: Zend has just been too bogus right from Zend1, so I didn't even look into Zend 2. Thetthing with Zend attracting developers is that it is backed by big dogs. |

I do backend php editing on Wordpress.the sight of .html and .php scripts turn me on! |
Re: Why I Dumped Wordpress As A CMS (my Experience) by Ymodulus: 5:36pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
CRAZYMADMAN: You are right and not wrong. In Zend you encounter problems and difficulties. . No need for yaml, no need to specify every route through the site, no need to use twig or smarty, and it comes with integrated bootstrap 3 widgets, right out of the box. Yii 2 also provides an advanced template, with front-end and back-end, with working user model and password recovery, making it easier to get up and running quickly. Yii 2's event and behaviors architecture is feature-rich and intuititive. Yii 2 flows beautifully. Ultimately, for a capable programmer, it's a matter of personal preference, which style you feel connected to... Persoanlly I prefer Yii 2 far and above the other frameworks, while still respecting the other frameworks. However, much of this can't be said for Zend2. I must also point out that laravrl has followed this path of over bloatedness, laravel is crappy now |

rhema4u: Lol. Its difficult. I get. I did those days. However today I just buy templates and give it a few touches. rhema4u:But you know WordPress is meant to be worked on using plugins. Not really Php editing of raw filed |
Re: Why I Dumped Wordpress As A CMS (my Experience) by Nobody: 5:44pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
Ymodulus: There are changes I need to make in the theme I just back up the script, edit it and run mine. Most times I find plugins after I have finished my .php work. |
Re: Why I Dumped Wordpress As A CMS (my Experience) by Ymodulus: 5:46pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
rhema4u: Lol @ finding plugins after work done. WordPress can be a nightmare. That's if you are so used to the OOP way of life as used on frameworks. However if am to use a CMS for a heavy customized Job I will go for Drupal |
Re: Why I Dumped Wordpress As A CMS (my Experience) by Nobody: 5:49pm On Apr 24, 2015 |
Ymodulus: This Drupal needs my attention sha. Someone would come and tell me, there's a plugin for so and so but who cares about updating plugins when you know where .php is. |

Absolutely love it when geeks write. I used wordpress in 2012 after trying to develop a news aggregation site(google has done that already, why will you want to do that) Using php, php gave me a a lot of problem so i switched to CMS. It might be simple for you guyz anyway. i discovered a plugin in wordpress that was able to acheive that, i modified the code and it worked fine, before my site was destroyed with spam. Its been a while that i have done any web Development project. Infact its like i am a novice now. |

talk2hb1: Wow! You're the only person who managed to use English on that thread. That op has an evil agenda to blow up dull brains like mine. Hehehe So what you're saying is that Drupal(I'm only hearing it for the first time) is better, right? If it is, do you have ny link to an ebook I can download to understand it better. To say I'm a newbie would be an understatement so I'd appreciate it if you can reply in plain English. I built an online store, www.theniministore.com, using wordpress but I need something more professional. Your advice will be greatly appreciated ie if you reply in plain English |
