Thread: WordPress VS Joomla?

WordPress or Joomla?? Which content management system is better for promoting??
Thanks

i prefer wordpress.. lots of easy plugin to use for SEO and wide variety of theme, i never use joomla, maybe old member here can tell the different between wordpress and joomla

wordpress is better because its more user friendly than Joomla and I think security of wordpress is also better than joomla

Wordpress is easy to learn and maintain IMO. I haven't gotten along with Joomla. It's kind of hard at first. Also it's for bigger portal sites and than simple blog like sites.

I always use WP, because it is easy to use, more addons and it is faster than joomla.

Today WP have notification on dashboard, have anyone upgrading it to newer version (3.1.2)? or you just stick to old ones

If you don't want your blog to be hacked always update your plugins and upgrade as soon as possible when they release a new version or patch. Keeping your Wordpress blog outdated can cause you lots of problems.

Probably with hosting problems like Not enough memory allocated.

i try to find a problem according to your opinion, but maybe i need to reinstall WP first, but need to backup data and will see what will happen to the update

I updated all of my WP blogs last night. It was a smooth update process using the automatic update button and even seemed a bit faster than some of the updates that I have been through.

If you can tell us the error message you get , we might able to help. Sometimes plugins and WP script upgrades stuck in middle because some hosting providers have below limit memory allocations. So updates stuck while extracting files without enough memory.

thanks.. i will look into this matter, give me some time and i will update the problem if ever happen again after reinstall WP

I tried one free hosting provider that offered mySQl and cpanel hosting. I got WP to install, but plugins would not install and WP would not update, probably for the reason that bluearrow offers.

When you are trying a free hosting service check their forum and Google to find out you can install blogs like WP or other CMS. For example Freehostia let you install WP but most plugins won't work. They have some php options reserved for paid users.

maybe with byethost free hosting can install all without a problem
