Almost everyone recommends people build their blog or website using WordPress.

In fact, even if you don’t have a site yet, I’m sure you’re familiar with WordPress.

However, if everybody’s harping about how good WordPress is, does it mean you should use it too?

At this point, you probably are aware of the benefits this CMS brings to the table. But you’re probably not aware of the inconveniences it brings to users.

In this post, let’s look at the dark side of WordPress (self-hosted and not WordPress.com) and why you should consider not using it.

Version 9.3 of the Gutenberg plugin dropped earlier today. It is the first version of the plugin during the WordPress 5.6 release cycle that will not see its new features land in the core platform.

However, some minor enhancements outside of the site editor landed in the update.

WordPress 5.6 is set to add a UI that allows users to opt into auto-updates for major versions of core. Previously, developers could turn these updates on by setting the WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE constant to true or by using the allow_major_auto_core_updates filter. Version 5.6 exposes this setting in the UI to make it more accessible for users.

Jb Audras posted a dev note on the feature yesterday with instructions for how developers can extend it to add more options.

WordPress is a frequent target for hacking. Hackers are targeting the theme, the core WordPress files, plugins and even the login page. These are the steps to take to make it less likely to be hacked and to be able to recover easier if it should still happen.

And that’s just one hacker. Sites are under attack by several…

WordPress has opened its 2020 Annual Survey, a short set of questions designed to collect more information on how different groups of people are using the software. It takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and all data is anonymized.

This was the response by a Tavern reader named Isabel on the recent coverage of the Q theme, an…
