I recently wrote about what I considered to be a flaw in the publicly-announced structuring of the ClassicPress project. That was back on the 19th February. My concern was that the ClassicPress project was basically one person with a few volunteers, and that if something happened to the owner of the company, the ClassicPress project […]
A Little Encouragement Goes A Long Way
I haven’t had much time lately and I need to catch up with things I like to talk about. One of those things is the way people help each other in life. Having taken a more critical approach to my reviews of ClassicPress (the project), I want to take a little blog space for pointing […]
Now That We Have the Full ClassicPress Release
Thankfully, the world is still here. The WordPress project continues unabated. Some really cool stuff is being rolled out in the WordPress community with regard to plugins. And ClassicPress (I will probably often refer to it as “CP”) has finally released their full version 1.0.0 with a WordPress-like security release v.1.0.1 almost immediately following. Okay, […]
Oversight or just sloppiness?
Telling the truth isn’t a bad thing. If that truth provides collateral benefits to businesses and bloggers alike, be happy. WordPress has begun to make it more clear they weren’t exactly honest in their assertion that Gutenberg wouldn’t take over WordPress. Let that be something that benefits you, ClassicPress, as a project.
If a Person is Not Interested or Not Alive, What Then?
What is it all about? Why do we do what we do? What happens when life isn’t what it was yesterday? Where do we go from here? What happens when plugins I depend upon for functionality no longer have a developer? What happens if the person who wholly owns a project is either no longer […]
ClassicPress Localization Problem – Stopgap Plugin
Seems ClassicPress hasn’t been completely forthcoming with their announcement of their Beta version being ready for use on live sites. As pointed out in their forums a day ago, localization (using languages other than English) doesn’t always work well. The Customizer doesn’t seem to work with some languages. A bug? According to the conversation it […]
From A User Point Of View
I believe it is in the interest of those who might consider using ClassicPress to think about the future of the project. I am mindful of the user when I write. I prefer to consider that while developers resist including ClassicPress in their long term development at this time, users may or may not benefit […]
ClassicPress Beta2 is out
ClassicPress has released the anticipated Beta2. This BETA version addresses the security vulnerabilities that were fixed in WordPress versions 4.9.9 and 5.0.1. Plus there are some added changes which include known cases where certain security scanners were incorrectly identifying ClassicPress sites to be using WordPress version 1.0.0. That should no longer be an issue. Apparently […]
ClassicPress Announces BETA Ready for Live Sites
It is no surprise for those who have been testing the ClassicPress Alpha and BETA releases of ClassicPress that ClassicPress would announce the BETA version is ready for live sites. On their blog today, December 06, 2018, ClassicPress made that announcement. With the release of WordPress 5.0 there have been inquiries into whether or not […]
WordPress 5.0 – December 6, 2018 – Ready or not !
Yes, WordPress 5.0 is out December 6, 2018. In the event you have a website built on WordPress, and if your site breaks as a result of the update, there might be help available. ClassicPress.net has been working hard to provide a real alternative to the Gutenberg version of WordPress, which begins with version […]
