Anyone do any development in WordPress? It's like trying to override a bunch of plugins made by a bunch of developers.

Like the Unyson plugin puts a stupid non-removable notification to install a bunch of crap with a generic class name with !important.

So what did I do? I looked through the source code and found a non-used hook I can tap into and remove the message!

Wordpress and its entire ecosystem is a gigantic pile of excrement. Avoid.

Wordpress, only good for when you're not a dev and have NO fucking reason to look under the hood.

There's a reason I refuse to use it beyond pressing "install" and walking away, that and a dev should be able to build their own CRUD system without the obnoxious bloat and endless vulnerabilities offered by WP or its endless supply of outdated plugins.

At some point in my life my (ex)company was tasked with maintenance of Wordpress based... (wait for it).... not only an online store, but a whole fucking marketplace where people could sign up and sell their own shit. Oh boi, so many memories had this project created. My second worst life trauma, my first worst life trauma and a fucking hell of constant fights with the client (of course with a project like that you never get the helpful, civil client)

@C0D4 @Root @HCC5GDKc7 I agree, but I have to for a main project of 100+ sites. I have to build an entire site and plugins on WordPress. It's amazing what I had to build in this ecosystem of sites.

I’ve only once (and never again) set up a WordPress site for a client. I now find it so much easier to build my own CMS and avoid all the bloat and weaving my way around custom plugin code. The client still came to me to update stuff, and they didn’t even include anything like a blog or catalogue in the site, so I don’t know why they were so insistent on using WP. Anyway, since then I’ve learned to be more picky with the tech I use and make sure to get a clear understanding of the client’s goals.
