To doesnotexist and spot13: WordPress is so fucking insecure.
Open directories. Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. A plugin architecture that constantly endangers sites. Piss poor theme and plugin developers that constantly introduce critical issues.
The whole fucking platform has to be constantly updated because it's such a piece of shit.
Seems like every day there's a new zero-day exploit or update or patch that you HAVE to install or else your site will get raped.
And it will get raped.
I've managed and built dozens and dozens of WordPress sites. I've had to harden lots of installs, fix directory permissions, constantly keep up with updates, install Sucuri, install SiteGuard.
I've dealt with the hacks, in all their myriad forms. I've written regex's to search code for exploits, cleansed databases, locked down comments, pingbacks, fought plugins, themes.
Been there, done that.
It's a full time fucking job just trying to stay ontop of all the ways WordPress can fuck you over on a day to day basis.
Do not use it.
Still don't believe me? Go onto the 2600 Facebook page and ask them what they think of WordPress. See what they have to say. :)
- yes, but it still gets the job done for millions of sites and its strength is in numbers. everything is hackable in one way or another, anyway.Milan
- ask NSA what they think of your secretsMilan

- LOL go on to Facebook to discuss security of websites.MrT
- You obviously have never heard of 2600fate
- You only hear about Wordpress vulnerabilities because it is so popular and such a target for hackers. Some of the competition are worse.fadein11
