All my homies hate Wordpress

I hate it too much
Fuck Wordpress

All your homies have seen the light.

I hate WP too, I just need some homies.

We need a Venn diagram

@qbalsdon

It would be:

Pros:
User friendly

Cons:
Wordpress
Exploit resort
Plug-in hell
Horrible DB
Clusterfuck code
Data breachers are us

It seems a little one sided.

I've started to hate WP too

@C0D4 ahw come on man, stop being on Wordpress, there is no plug-in hell in ba sing se

👹

@C0D4 it's certainly not user friendly :D
At least not the way it's usually loaded up with buttplugs ehh plugins

@piratefox you're right, they don't have wordpress 😅

typically users will install wordpress to try to make a site and then give up 1/10th of the way through when they realize they have no fucking clue what they're doing and then hire a dev to fix it

@genevra what, hire a dev? No lol

@C0D4 *ba sing se guard goes in bsod*

@C0D4 another con is that if you use the visual editor for even a second, it injects fucking <p> and <br> tags in the text editor fucking everywhere and it’s so fucking annoying to remove them everytime some retard uses the visual editor by accident

@DeepHotel eh, actually it’s made to do that, the issue is that people want more than that out of it, resulting in a mess… ghh

In other words: if it was used as a blog (as it was born to be) it’d be very cool to have p and br to divide the document in a more coherent way, but since people use it as a website builder it’s shit.

Edit: (not trying to defend it, I hate it as well… just trying to redirect the hate where it can actually make the difference)

@piratefox good point. I didn’t know Wordpress was originally supposed to be only for blogs. The company I’m at now uses it as a website builder for their main site

@DeepHotel I feel you and send you a virtual hug, been there, done that :(

It's so stupid everyone knows Wordpress but damn near nobody ever heard of ProcessWire.

@Inxentas in a nutshell:

Super cheap hosts force you to use cPanel and pre-install Wordpress, people prefer to pay 40$ less per year for the hosting… and have to hire 2 devs instead of one/ have your dev be slow af cause it’s Wordpress. Wow, such smart very cheap.

On why people do that:
- more people than we are willing to admit are inexperienced enough to not see the dev issue arising
- more people than we are willing to admit are stupid enough to blame the dev, even tho it’s the 10th in a row being slow
- some people don’t think about scaling, at the xth feature they realise the issue, but it’s late
- some people genuinely think they won’t scale but they end up doing and due to the fact it was unexpected they have to rush features and documents until it gets too late
