To be fair, I’d move away from Wordpress entirely. So many better options out there without tyrannical leadership.
Is there alternative for dynamic multipage shop site?
Can you recommend a few?
There isn’t a true replacement for Wordpress because of the sheer availability of plugins it has.
But for simple sites like blogs and personal sites Grav CMS is one I’ve used, and it gives you a web admin panel similar to Wordpress, so the learning curve isn’t too bad.
Drupal also gets mentioned a lot as a replacement.
There are also static site generators like Hugo, but those require learning a lot about the specific one you use, and are pretty complex to use, and if you need non-static content like a web form or something it can add a lot of complexity to your whole setup.
I feel like most of the time Hugo and friends are quite enough. They may not be as flexible, but are certainly lighter, more secure, and easier to work with.
Yup, if you just need a static website, Hugo, Ghost, or any of the other static site generators will do the job. If you need something fancier, there are solutions for those two, but you need to be clear about your requirements because almost nothing is a drop-in replacement for WordPress.
Is ghost static now? I thought it was just a blog cms written in Node
You can use third party tools to generate a static site from a Ghost setup, like this one.
https://ghost.org/ is one of them.
Meanwhile, Automattic’s response to WP Engine’s lawsuit claimed the company “failed to plausibly allege specific financial harm.”
The footer says the site is operated by Automattic.
The very second website in the file they use to track recently-moved websites uses substack (now).
