CMS Capabilities?

  • I am more interested in the CMS capabilities of WordPress than the blogging component. I want to create an article directory and be able to post articles directly to categories without posting to the blog. Or if I do post to the blog, is there a way to archive articles immediately, whenever I want, instead of every week or month? Is there a plugin that will give me these abilities? I can pay someone who can help me set this up. Thanks!!!

  • No plugin necessary. Just make a static page your front page (see Administration > Settings > Reading).

    Don’t be confused by what an archive is–it is just a generated display of your posts at that moment. You don’t do anything to create the archive, that’s an automatic thing WordPress does for you. Usually, archives are date, category, tag, or author, based.

    Hi Michael, I am currently developing a website, using a design company to build it for my company Principle First. I have asked them to develop this in wordpress, because I see the value of continuous updates rather than going with a cms system. They have come back to me today after 3 months of work to tell me that they want to start again using another cms. They have tried de activating plug ins and they are not happy with the cache plugin or super cache plug in as they want the experience for the first time visitor to be positive. Another problem is the manipulation of the page structure, and they are worried that when putting more tools like pension calculators etc on the site things may slow advise down further. can you advise current site sitting on https://www.principlefirst.co.uk/wp
