Alternatives to WordPress?

Hey all,

I owned a couple of non-porn blogs about a year ago and used the WordPress platform, but they were constantly hacked. Even with the Better WP Security plug-ins and a few others, it'd still happen. They'd just use some script and my site would be one big ad for some kind of religious group. My web hosts kept giving me crap about it so I just let the domains expire.

Anyone recommend an alternative to WP? Something that, like Wordpress, would let me run a larger site and not just blogs?

Were you running some kind of third-party plugin on the WP sites? WordPress isn't without its problems, but the default install shouldn't be vulnerable in the way you're describing. As long as you keep it updated and aren't adding plugins or third-party modules with obvious huge security holes, your site should be pretty safe. There are also ways to harden it to discourage people/bots from even attempting to exploit it.

There are definitely other platforms, like Joomla (which I think is even worse as far as security goes), but it sounds like you really just need to hire a competent webmaster/server admin.

WP will also let you run actual sites - you just need to do some tweaking to remove the "blog" features. I have a number of sites I've designed for people based on WP that don't even remotely resemble a blog (if you're wondering why I used WP, it's because the client needed something simple to help them manage it, and the projects didn't necessitate writing an entire custom CMS).

I did have some third party stuff, so that was probably it. I'll give WP another shot. Thanks.

Good to see you're not throwing in the towel on WordPress. As far as open source CMSes go, it far and away my favorite.

A lot of the WordPress security plugins out there are the shits but you might want to take a look at WordFence for future use. It does a ton of stuff but, most importantly, it scans all core/theme/plugin files and compares them against the WordPress repository for modifications. It's hard to stop a hit and run exploit/injection/attack but WordFence at least gives you a fighting chance.

There is no real alternative to WordPress in my opinion.

That's for their hosted version. You can download it and run it on your own server like Wordpress.

Fix your file permissions, change wp-login url, disallow wp-login access to your IP(s)... or try http://drupal.org/

Joomla is a good choice and way more secure than Wordpress. Any 3rd world hacker is going to develop and learn how to hack wordpress sites since they are the largest platform... meaning they can now hack more sites. While far less people use Joomla so they don't spend as much time trying to make hacks on it.

I have 3 Joomla sites that have been running for years. No issues.

wordpress is probably one of the best of not the best but when you play with free stuff you go along with problems you can get, with $100 worth of premium plugin, you can create a complete community with great features in a really secured wordpress website.

Bare in mind, if a hacker wants to get in, it doesn't matter if you are using wordpress or not, he will go in

Wordpress is the biggest and most popular program. It is like using DuckDuckGo.com instead of Google (or Bing). You don't want to do that, I think (you have all the plugins / themes / support forums with a lot of experienced users / book about it etc).

Wordpress is the best. It does not make sense to "reinvent the wheel" with something else. If you are looking for free Wordpress-based xxx blog hosting, check out DirtySexBlog.com.

Wordpress is good, if you need plugins just use those that are popular and updated frequently.

Harden the security first on the server level, and then Wordpress it self and you are ok.

Install the "better Security" plugin. We had the same problem you did, CONSTANT hacking. That plugin changed everything. I've used it since it was called "Better Security" but now it's called "iThemes Security".

There's a free and a pro version. It will examine your site and make a LOT of changes. With your approval and actions on your part.

With that plugin I haven't had problems. BUT I always promised myself if I ever had a bad hack string afterwards the next step is CloudFare. Talk about bulletproof
