WordPress as a CMS

  • Hi, all,
    I’ve been playing with WP for a couple of days now and am very impressed. I’ve also trawled through the messages here looking for an answer to this question:
    Can WP be used as a fully fledged content management system?
    What I’d like to end up with is a site that doesn’t look like a blog with recent posts sitting on the first page but more like a vanilla Web site. If anyone has already asked this then I apologise in advance and if anyone can point me at the appropriate thread I’d very grateful. If anyone has already created such a site I’d love to see it.
    Many thanks in advance.
    The Mahatma.

  • You need to define better what you are looking for, as exacting as possible, in styling features. Much of that can likely be accomplished today with some minimal hackery in index.php or deeper down, and some matching CSS to implement the ‘custom’ stylings (which you’d need to do anyway). If you can give a detailed explanation of the limits you seem to be hitting, I might be able to draw parallels to solutions I’ve done for my site.
    I don’t use the ‘nice URLs’ at all on my site. I don’t find them useful for me, and I generally don’t believe they are overall that useful aside from ‘looking nice’. Bookmark is a bookmark… ?? However, from what I understand, the current url schema allows for you to create fairly flexible rewrite rules (assuming your ISP allows it) to make for nicer links.
