WordPress pays hosting providers to advertise. WP is the worst piece of crap out there, for many reasons.
1- The menu system is obsolete, based on Visual Basic 6. You can't change a menu link. If you want to change from Link A to Link B in the menu, you can't; you have to delete the menu and create a new one.
2- The admin control panel is garbage. It's full of useless links on the left and completely disorganized.
3- Plugins are installed as menus on the left, not within the plugins menu, which makes it confusing.
4- WP is the most pirated CMS in the world, not the most popular.
5- It has outdated, old, and unrefactored code, making it slow to load, and plugins only make it slower.
6- White Screen of Death (WSoD): The site goes blank, often caused by plugin conflicts or server memory limitations.
7- Server and Internal Errors: Errors 500 (internal), 502 (bad gateway), or 504 (gateway timeout), indicating communication problems with the server.
8- Plugin and Theme Conflicts: Incompatibilities during updates, resulting in misconfigured sites or broken functionality.
9- Database Errors: "Error establishing a database connection" messages that prevent the site from loading.
10- Security Vulnerabilities: As a popular CMS, it is a target for hackers. Failure to update the core, themes, or plugins, or using weak passwords, leads to infections.
11- Slow Site: Caused by excessive plugin usage, poorly coded themes, or insufficient caching.
12- Automatic Update Failures: The site may remain in "maintenance mode" indefinitely after a failed update. Mixed Content Error (HTTP vs HTTPS): Problems with the SSL certificate that show the site as not secure.
I highly recommend Joomla 6; it's the best, most optimized, refined, refactored, and cleanest CMS on the market, the most secure and robust, and it's increasing its market share.
1. Thats wrong
2. Partly true, but you can organize it and remove unwanted things
3. Partly agree, but also this way you can find them directly and fast
4. Thats wrong
5. Code is old, true, but that doesn't mean it's loading slow. Generally it loads faster then Joomla or many other systems, because its less complex. But true, plugins often make it slower to laod, but thats the same for other systems.
6. That depends on you and your setup and is the same for all systems.
7. That depends on you and your setup and is the same for all systems.
8. That depends on you and your setup and is the same for all systems.
9. That depends on you and your setup and is the same for all systems.
10. Thats part of the game, if you have the most popular system, also attackers would target it most, but that also means, many security problems are already fixed, while not popular systems haven't. And often those come from bad coded plugins (same for other systems).
11. Depends on your setup and same for other systems
12. never saw that, must also be your setup.
In generall all systems have advantages or disadvantages, it is always a personal thing, what you like more.
I used Joomla from the beginning (Mango) and through all versions. And after more then 13 years I completly switched to wordpress, because for me and customers it is the better system.
I would not say, that I like it, but its doing its job and is better in case of usability, functionallity, themes, plugins and maintainability.
