WP falling WWB growing

Post by wwonderfull »

Was watching some videos of some developers in YT and found an important news about WP.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/02/wp-en ... mullenweg/

WP Engine, a web hosting service, has filed a lawsuit against Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of WordPress, and his company Automattic. The lawsuit revolves around alleged unfair business practices and competition issues. This legal battle could potentially affect users by causing service disruptions, access issues to plugins and themes, and possibly higher costs.

In conclusion that means wp users may soon face unexpected problems sooner or later so please suggest more people to join WYSIWYG web builder community.

It's crazy amazing how long webhosts have allowed WordPress with it's slowness and vulnerabilities for granted. I hope that more people find their way to WWB altough it will probably have to be the professionals because of the learning curve that WordPress lacks.

Indeed, wp was something which went viral because of their paid marketing and the social media hype but even that could not stop it from falling. It fell such that if we see the graph which I got from googles, it shows WP in 2024 is in a position which it was back in 2007. From it's peak which was 2014 it had a major decline yet people use it in the name of clients who have no idea their website can get hacked which is the number 1 issue of WordPress websites according to even HOSTINGER , ASTRA.

Back in 2017/8, we (my scout county) went to a web site provider for a web site. For a fee of around £1,000 they gave us a wordpress site - around 10,000 files which we then had to maintain. It was fairly slow and not easy to modify. Then, the Scouts modified their logo and I asked the provider to change it for us. That was another large fee because it was in one of their templates which they didn't give us (and didn't tell us about). At that point, I had had enough and redid theirs (first in WebPlus to get something out and then WWB which I was still learning) - went from 10,000 files to about 300 (most of which were pictures) and much much faster.

So, I am very happy with WWB.

That's funny! I'm a previous webplus user too! > they ended the program when mobile responsiveness was more than just one desktop and one mobile version. RIP lol

Unless your @pablo ... i don't think its possible to know this program 100% haha
