    Yeah, everyone with a decent amount of content will just pick Wordpress and move on. It works, it’s reliable, it’s well supported and will keep running for decades at least.

      And once you have found your specific collection of plugins that happen not to put the exact features you need behind a paywall but others, you ain’t touching those either.

        That or you develop your theme with the features you need baked in. This is the irony of the Hugo people, they’re capable developers that can make themes but they can’t just create a simples Wordpress theme from the ground?

          Capable developers don’t touch PHP ;)

          (sorry, couldn’t help myself. I love WordPress, but I don’t much love its innards or the language…)

            Capable developers touch whatever language is required to get a job done.

        And this is why, when I’m investigating phishing links, I’ve gotten used to mumbling, “fucking WordPress”. WordPress itself is pretty secure. Many WordPress plugins, if kept up to date, are reasonably secure. But, for some god forsaken reason, people seem to be allergic to updating their WordPress plugins and end up getting pwned and turned into malware serving zombies. Please folks, if it’s going to be on the open internet, install your fucking updates!
