Philip Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I like it to give to clients and be like "have fun!", but I hate coding for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Both of my current clients are using it. It's just such an ass backwards system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Yeah, I just recently had a WP blog get hacked. Someone managed to upload a shell script and WTFPWN the hosting account. That sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I just hate the whole theme/loop system. I could do more with a regular MVC setup. And do it faster, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinM1 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 wordpress is a great system. Not really. Global variables everywhere and the encouragement to mix logic with presentation are signs of badly developed software. WordPress is popular because it's friendly to end users. It's a POS under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootstah Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 WordPress is popular because it's friendly to end users. And the fact that there really isn't any out-of-the-box alternatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Wordpress is a mish mash of legacy php 3/4 code with php 5 code slapped on top of it. What they should of done was rewrite the whole thing in OO php 5 after a certain version. It is garbage for a developer to work on. I have a few books on writing plugins for Wordpress and it makes me laugh when they try to explain how to do something. They will say something like, 'you can use this function to do x, but you can also do it this alternate way, however, if you try to use function y when using method b you will get an error'. It just basically says that the code is crap and there is no strict standard for extending it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Today I thought about it, and I honestly don't know which is worse - their documentation or the actual code... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderwell Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 my praise was not so much about its code, just its accessibiity for newbs and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 my praise was not so much about its code, just its accessibiity for newbs and the like. This is exactly why the code is so bad. Newbs hacking on plugins hacking on WP itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
