Disadvantages of WordPress as a CMS

Disadvantages of WordPress as a CMS – Really ?

The most common disadvantage mentioned by users who opt for Joomla or another CMS, is the inability to change the source code to really customize it, without causing multiple problems with configuration. Because WordPress was not originally intended to be a general CMS, the source code is not nearly as flexible. It cannot produce a truly customized site via custom source code changes. Users argue that plug-in additions enable a great deal of features with customized options, but plug-ins do not provide nearly the application richness and multi-level functionality that a flexible CMS source code does.

Along the same line, adding too many plug-ins on a WP CMS causes problems. More than a few dozen plug-ins for those that attempt to create a customized experience, are much more likely to slow down the system, cause errors and bugs, and overwhelm the WP system.

Essentially, the appeal of WordPress CMS is its user-friendly, SEO-friendly simplicity. When users attempt to bury it underneath 50 different plug-ins just to obtain a certain level of functionality and application depth, this is when WordPress ceases to be the best option. Much like the simpler shopping cart platform and plug-ins that best serve small to medium business websites, the same applies to WordPress. If a business or service website needs multi-level usability – news feeds, forums, community areas, social networking, or portals, such as those often used by corporate or education sites – then WordPress is not the best choice, because it cannot support these complexities.

Domain Name – Important Factors about Domain

Important factors about domain name registration.

A factor by factor quality analysis of the domain name unichost.com, as an example, is given below. Useful for website appraisals, and buying and registering domain names.

1. Length

Unichost is a 8 character word. Shorter words make better domain names. At 8 characters unichost.com should make a good domain name.

2. Dictionary Words

Unichost per-se is not a dictionary word but it contains dictionary words. Domain names with dictionary words generally make better domain names than those without. Recommended tool for keyword analysis – www.deckey.com.

3. Top Level Domain

.com is always the best. Full score for TLD factor. People are more likely to type unichost.com than unichost.bz or unichost.me or unichost.info.

4. Distinctivity

Distinctivity is the most important factor of all. unichost.com has a high distinctivity factor. Users will be able to remember unichost.com without much effort. Good choice for a domain name.

Conclusion:

UnicHost.com scored better than 82.883% of 1984314 domain names in the Domometer database.

Captcha image is not working – Fatal error?

Captcha image is not working – Fatal error?

You have the GD image library installed and otherwise working.
Still unable to get captcha with the captcha plugin.

You are not sure what’s the problem as it works on one of your other sites.  When you try to include the captcha on your website or contact form it generates an error message like…
Call to undefined function imagettftext() OR
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagettftext() in /home/user/public_html/appfolder/plugins/captcha/captcha.php on line 99  OR
Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagefttext() in /home/user/public_html/lib/captcha/captcha.php on line 329 OR
‘–enable-gd-native-ttf’

Problem could be, because the standard PHP “imagefttext()” function does not work on your server.
It can caused by the fact that there is no –enable-gd-native-ttf key installed on your server as the Cart uses GD Library for displaying the verification image.

Please note that PHP must be configured with the following keys:
–with-gd –enable-gd-native-ttf  Contact your host to make the change!

Any idea why or how it can be fixed?

imagettftext() is part of the GD image functions library, which is not always part of PHP (the code CMS/Cart runs on).
You need to contact your host and ask them to install the PHP GD library. It’s really simple for them to do and is fairly common, so if they give you a hard time about it, I would seriously consider switching to better and friendly host – UnicHost :).
