7.0.2 got released on Friday. Exploits are already happening. People reporting hacks
Correction: WordPress IS a critical vulnerability.
I have developed and hosted over 760 WP sites since 2006 and have never been hacked. Ever.
Mediocre craftspeople blame their tools.
I’ve driven a poorly designed car without many safety features for years, and I’ve never flown through the windshield, ever.
thank god i was able to convince my boss to let go the old wordpress site and only serve static pages when he wanted to have a brand new design, its been about 2months with the new design
Friendly reminder to anyone who cares enough that you can still use WordPress to make your site with all your fancy plugins and layouts, and then export that to a static site for hosting. No need to actually host Wordpress itself that way you avoid nearly all of this BS.
Not a bad idea. How would one do this?
It’s time to ditch WP if you haven’t already
It was time in 2013.
What would you recommend as an alternative for the non-technical inclined users who want to have a public website?
Is this a trick question?
Websites are complicated. Easy, secure, cheap: pick two. There is no such thing as a universally easy, secure and cheap solution, or else we would always be using it.
Assuming you want secure and easy, I would suggest you pay someone who knows what they’re doing.
No, not a trick question at all.
I know what I am doing but people I work for do not, therefore my question for an alternative where these people can write text on a simple website in a WYSIWYG editor. Going by your comment you haven’t found one either which makes WP sadly the only option for this specific use case.
I haven’t found one, no. I just use markdown and a static HTML site generator.
