WordPress as CMS
Posted in: Websites by koolkat on June 15, 2009
Based interest from clients and recommendations from colleagues, I have started using WordPress 2.8 as a CMS. So far, I have found it pretty straight-forward to use and actually have a site under development at www.etgfoundation.com.
I have manged to get the plugins I installed working and only struggled with the following situations:
- WordPress sometimes adds extra tags that I don’t expect, even when I am working on the HTML side where I would think the html would be implemented as written.
- While plugins helped me get the anchor text for wp-list-pages navigations set up the way I wanted, I struggled with getting the results not to be an actual link when you were on the page. What I mean is that if your were on a page called “about”, the navigation on that page should not have “about” as a link – it should appear just as text and indicate that you are on that page via CSS. I did solve the issue but it required some php code to implement. There may be a better approach but I don’t know what that is yet.

Well-written. Thanks. I have been learning a lot about different CMS programs lately. I have also been experimenting with setting up an e-commerce site using WordPress. Have you ever done that? Any suggestions for me? It’s pretty fun learning it. If you’d like to see my blog it’s here. Thanks again for this blog – it is really well-done.

I have never used any WordPress e-commerce but may be soon have the opportunity to try out the Shopp plugin.
