Content Management Systems (CMS)

This is a great site that lets you try out some of the free and open source software systems. http://www.opensourcecms.com/ It should be useful to all of you who are unsure which CMS is the right one for you. It has information, ratings and also lets you go into the admin panels and see what the backends look like and work. So it will save a lot of time as there is no need to download all the different ones to see which one suites your needs as a site has done that for you EDIT: Also have a look at www.cmsmatrix.org it lets you compare up to 10 CMS's in great detail- thanks to rjdejong for the link

Mention some of the best CMS for Ecommerce websites?

Hello, friends Has anyone used Publii before? I stumbled across it recently when searching for alternatives to WordPress. Some of the showcase sites are impressive: domagic | Ridvan Maulana | Kamil Porembinski It claims to be easy to use, performant and secure. Is it?

Hello. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I am after creating a website where users can pay to undertake an application form (including uploading documents etc). I will then do work in the background and return with documents etc. the customer needs to be able to log in and review their submissions and retrieve documents which I have uploaded. please can someone advise which is the best platform and which plug in’s (if necessary) are best to use? thanks

I don't really do this work any more but I have come out of retirement to help (another) local charity to have an up to date web presence, so a simple, non commercial brochure and blog site. No great security issues, just a handful of more or less static pages and a news/blog/updates page. It's for a group who monitor the presence of deer in the countryside. Anyway, what little I knew about wordpress is long forgotten and out of date anyway, but would that be a simple job - to set up the domain on free hosting with a free theme would it not? Swap out some header images and make a few other adjustments? For some reason I am slightly intimidated by the complexity WP ha…

Hey guys, I am new here. My wordpress sites are taking way too long to load now [over 2 seconds] so I was told on an SEO forum that I can convert the sites to HTML and they will load much faster. Searching the net for instructions I came across this video which shows the process in nice easy to follow steps BUT what's showing in that video is not what I am seeing on my end. So guys, this is what is showing in Simply Static plugin Settings in my dashboard. If anyone can tell me what I should do here please would be great? Thanks in advance.

Hi The company I work for now use a Wordpress site, which I'm getting to grips with. There seems to be an error in the code, which is slowing the site down. I've looked in the theme editor but can't seem to find it. Can anyone help? The website is: https://www.contractflooringjournal.co.uk/ When I load the page it's looking for these in the uploads folder, and I don't know how to remove them: https://www.cfjworkshops.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/xxx_bg_xxx.png https://www.contractflooringjournal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/17.jpg Thank you

Solr is an open search platform that provides balance queries and distributed indexing. It was built fast by the CNET, but later on, it was given to the party foundation. When Apache solr is integrated, Drupal provides an amazing experience. Many big companies such as Instagram, Twitter, and Netflix use Apache Solr. Here are 4 steps that you need to keep in mind to integrate solr search:- Installation of Drupal Module Installation of Apache Solr Configure both modules together Create a web search page

Hi all, Nice to be here! If I create a WP theme and like it how it is, is there a way to get the whole thing including plugins packaged up so it can be installed all together elsewhere. Thanks

So it's a long time since i made a WordPress site, and all i really did then was pick a theme and do customisations in the WP. I need to remake this music review site (redesign and move content) https://levyarvostelut.fi/ (sorry it's in Finnish ) Using https://localwp.com/ i have WP installed and the twenty-twenty-one theme. I'm going to make a child theme (i know how to do that) but questions are what's a good theme to start with to customise? (e.g. 2021 has only one place for widgets) this is the functionality i need to use/add latest e.g. 5 reviews (i.e. posts - this is built in isn't it?) sub-navigation: so just general pages but want som…

Hello… I was making my website. Changing things in the theme. So there were some portfolio pages in the demo. And it would show fine. But when I tried to edit portfolio pages and edited them. They disappeared from front end.

Greetings folks, Fairly new to the site, so I'll say hello to start along with a question. I've recently looked into making a site that allows uers to sign up and create a personalised page of their own almost like a DnD character sheet, quite customisable e.c.t. Although I'm not sure what CMS would be more fitting, I am open to suggetions and paid ones. I did look at Wordpress for their 'Plugins' but haven't found anything concrete (or in at least how I have invisioned what I'm trying to do). Cheers DJ

Hi there, Not here to brag, just trying to get the word out. I've made a new CMS called Siteswitch which is particularly written for websites which are designed by professional web designers, and then maintained by their clients. The look and feel of the website can be altered by editing layout files which are included by the system files. New content can be added using a very simple and straightforward editing environment. It is built to be no-nonsense yet very flexible. Do give it a look, you can find demo versions as well as the download file at https://www.puckbarton.nl/siteswitch/

Is Elementor good guys? I'm a beginner and want something quick and easy I can use to set up a personalised website. So far I'm loving seeing things updating in real time and finding it simple to use but one forum member has advised me that it's 'bloated and will slow down my website.' Can anyone else verify this? All the online reviews are saying it's a good tool but the customer service sucks, which I don't really care about as there are a lot of YouTube videos.

Hi, I have had a terrible week with response times on all of my websites. I am with Bluehost and upgraded my hosting to the Pro plan last Friday, this was the worst decision I have made. The upgrade took ages and ever since I have had so many database errors and terrible response times, making it almost impossible to work on any sites. When I contact Blue host the always give me the excuse that there is an error on the server which is being worked and it will be fixed in a few hours. All of my websites keep going down causing my clients loads of problems. Today one of the support operators said it could be due to Malware, could this be the case? …

Hi, I am looking for a way to have a staff login section from the home page on a Wordpress website. When the member of staff logs in they then can see a separate menu or group of pages that are hidden to the general public. I do not want them to log into Wordpress, just log in to the website so that they can fill in a number of forms. Is this possible via a plugin at all, I have looked at a couple of plugins but they are just giving access to Wordpress, but I want to give access to published pages. Regards, Dave Rudge

Hi all, I have a reasonable amount of experience in creating WordPress websites, plus I've made a couple of specific websites from scratch using html/css/js. However, I'd like to build a website for a monthly subscription delivery service I'm thinking of launching, and I'm wondering whether it's possible just in WordPress with the right add-ons or if I'll need something more involved. I'm willing to pay someone to do the bits I can't do if necessary. The website will need to: Advertise and describe the service (no problems with WordPress for this one!). Allow customers to sign up for a monthly/3-month/annual subscription. Take payment for th…

Hi, I am looking to build a new site, i have built a few using wordpress with basic functions. The new site would allow registered users to select items maybe add to a cart and submit to registered suppliers within a certain area (close to customer). Suppliers would get an email notification and could submit there quotes. User would then login and accept quote and deal with supplier. both would have dashboard where they can see the orders etc. Could this be done with any CMS/pluging combination? thanks.

Our website is a large global webshop and uses SAP Hybris as a CMS; however, we're now developing a significant content arm and want to also have a landing page/content hub for daily articles, videos and updates, a bit like a news site. For this it looks like Wordpress is our most flexible option, but how well does WP integrate with Hybris? We don't want these sites to be completely separate, but for the content hub to sort of nestle in the webshop, whilst also being a destination in itself with its own look/design. Has anyone created a sub-site or microsite using WP on an e-commerce site that uses Hybris or another e-commerce-focused CMS?

Pretty new to web development and such. Not too familiar with CMS's. I see many places web developers/ designers saying they create 100% bespoke websites and put it on Wordpress as a CMS for their clients. What do they mean? By Bespoke I presume they aren't just putting on a theme or using the builder right? Are they somehow creating it as a bespoke website through normal means with HTML, CSS, Javascript etc. then placing it onto Wordpress somehow for clients to edit their content? is that how that works?

i noticed that there is web templates - also cms liek drupal or wordpress and many created temples of it - so its diffrent to make a template than make a normal website ? what language i need to learn ? i already know html . css bootstrab some pyhton - what else ?

We mainly work in our in house CMS or Wordpress (it's 50/50), but we have occasionally run into a Drupal site recently from a client with an extensive customization that if we were to move it to another platform would be very expensive for them. And they are on an outdated version of Drupal, which looking at how it's structured is going to be a hugeeee problem to upgrade. It looks to be about the same time to update and give them the features vs. moving to Wordpress for the website. Would you stick with Drupal or would you move to WP thinking that it's going to be the same price and time wise? The client is feeling attached to Drupal...but my inclination is WP. An…

Hey there, I learnt HTML, CSS and JS many few years ago with the intention of going freelance as a developer, and although I'm not there yet I still try and keep up to date with the industry via newsletters and the like, and the passion is still very much there. I was recently approached by a local non-profit charity to create a website for them for free. The site needs to be developed before an upcoming event, which is in under a month, which means that learning whole new languages is out. The content will be largely basic - the most complicated it will get is probably hosting some videos and taking payment for donations, but it's highly important that the end prod…

Hi everyone, I have a propably stupid, more generaI question regarding CMS/backend. I recently made a small website for a friend so i could learn a little bit about html/css/javascript. I made it myself with Notepad, so no wordpress etc... Now i want to implement like a simple backend/CMS, so that my friend can upload pictures and text to the website without digging into the code or asking me to do it. After a lot of google searching i can't really find a starting point on how to do this. I know i could just buy a theme on wordpress etc where i would have an implemented backend, but is there a way to do it for my own website? Would i have to program it all by myself,…

Hi, I want to set up a website that can allow chat / comments once registered. I've looked into forum software and they seem to have too much functionality. For example, I'd rather not have Avatars. I just want to keep it fairly simple graphically and have the next comment on a topic appear next in the list and want to avoid nested replies etc. I've looked at so many options but seem to be getting lost. Here is an example of what I'm trying to achieve. https://ceo.ca/g (You may have to get rid of the pop-up first. I'm trying to achieve the chat column in the middle.
