PROBLEM Everybody gone with WordPress!
#21
The problem with Wordpress is also its success. And that goes both sides: In a corporate environment whenever the need for a CMS comes up, completely unrelated to the actual task (!), someone will propose using Wordpress. Usually someone from Marketing, but given the popularity of it these days even accountants propose "Wordpress" as a no-brainer solution. If you as IT step in and propose not to use Wordpress, YOU ARE the one who has to make a point and fight the battle.

The other side is that thanks to Wordpress' popularity, it is incredibly in danger if not properly protected and updated. Last time it literally took half an hour before the new install had its first brute force bot attack. That's the part "normal people" don't see. (Apart from WP being simply anal in its handling of content).

No Wordpress fan here. Lost track on how many "forgotten Wordpress installs" I had to rescue and clean during all those years.

But yes, a PHP8 "fix" for 3.3.16 and some plugins would be a very nice thing to have. Otherwise I feel Get Simple is perfect as it is, bringing the foundation you need to build everything you want on top. Couldn't ask for more.
