@pubcrawler why does that bother you?
Cause @winston, we don't run no stinking FTP.
You'd think they'd provide other "secure" methods of doing what they need.
I think the Drupal is more complicated in comparison to wordpress
That's 'cause it's a blog, not a CMS
Whatever happened to the "do one thing and do it well" philosophy?
All in One SEO actually hurts your site. I've disabled 3 instances of AIO SEO, including on one of my most popular sites, and the SEO increased without AIO SEO. I think with the default keywords you set in the configuration that you come across as keyword spamming

I feel that there's a fair amount of overlap in the two. At the very least, a blog should have some basic CMS-like features, like being able to easily create a page, rather than a blog entry. Even if it's as simple as putting pages in a separate directory on the server and it automatically including the global styling of the blog, it's useful.
@bamn , agreed. All in One SEO experience was not good for me either. But Yoast Wordpress SEO was awesome and I was able to get into first page of Google on some of my target keywords. Huge traffic increase. I ve donated the coder a few coffees since then and planning to send more.
It only asks for FTP if it fails to write on the three wp- prefixed directories, nothing wrong with a temporary chmod to allow replacing, you know.
Or run suexec, etc. You're complaining for no reason.
I like Wordpress for blogs, but I would not use it as a backend for any business site, it's too iffy sometimes with security risks, also beware any theme with scripts in it because those scripts could be outdated and pose a security risk as well.
WP haters gonna hate

Less resource intensive as WordPress, but you need to setup nodejs for it, which some experience as difficult (but really isn't).
That necrothreading. @Nekki, close or sink?
I use WP or flat code things, but thats just me.
As a newbie in WP, you might find it really hard to set things up. But if you can think of something in the spectrum of websites, it's almost always possible with wordpress. I face a couple hard-to-solve wordpress issues, but then you can find the solutions through wordpress.org.
And if you need a crash course, there are tonnes of
Go with WordPress, it's superb. It's not a silver bullet, but it's the best control panel at the moment.
wp is good but you gotta have thr proper security in place. your site will attract alot more unwanted attention especially if your plugins are unknowingly leaving a door open.
