WordPress VS Elanat CMS

Many website builders today are designed to be user-friendly, allowing even non-tech-savvy individuals to build decent websites. Platforms like Wix, Squarespace, Carrd, and WordPress (with themes and plugins) offer powerful DIY solutions.

I do not believe it is legally "GPL v2 or later" at all. The original b2 license was GPL v2. There was no or later version option in the original b2 license. Given that WordPress is a derivative work, it has to keep the same or compatible license. Which "GPL v2 or later" is not.

Note how the original license is GPL v2 at [0], then the "or later" header is added much later at [1] seemingly out of nowhere.

I'm a WordPress (WP) developer and avid user of WP Engine. I just tested some of my WordPress sites hosted on WP Engine and can confirm that it's currently not possible to take some actions that pull data from https://wordpress.org/, such as not updating WP plugins or installing new WP plugins.

I'm furious at Matt Mullenweg and Auttomatic, as they control wordpress.org as Auttomatic hosts wordpress.org and one or both of them probably decided to block some important WordPress features on WP Engine servers. Also below is text from the https://wordpressfoundation.org/ homepage:

Powering more than 40% of the top 10 million websites on the Internet today according to WikiPedia, WordPress continues to be one of the most popular content management systems in the world. Though its core components remain primarily PHP and MySQL/MariaDB, a lot has changed in the past 20 years in terms of infrastructure and hosting options.

To get started working, first of all, you need to install Wordpress Zip from Wordpress.org and place it in the htdocs if you are using XAMPP or www if you are using WAMP or MAMP, this way if you want to test WordPress locally but if you want to go online directly, often you're going to use a hosting, for instance, Namecheap or Goddady, the majority of them use Softaculous it's a commercial script library that automates the installation of commercial and open source web applications in your website hosting.

As you know, Elanat CMS is built on the CodeBehind Framework with the lowest dependency. Soon, Elanat CMS will be completely rewritten based on the latest CodeBehind Framework technologies. We will not add any new versions until rewriting and new updates will be stopped completely.

CodeBehind is a web development framework published by Elanat. If you pay attention to the structure and naming in the CodeBehind framework, you will realize that this new framework is a nostalgia of Microsoft's former Web-Forms. Not long ago, version 2.9 of the CodeBehind framework was released with the new Web-Forms feature. The new Web-Forms functions similarly to Microsoft's former Web-Forms, but with a different approach. The new Elanat Web-Forms is an automatic two-way mechanism on the server and client side that communicate with each other through a dedicated protocol.

CodeBehind is a flexible web back-end framework based on ASP.NET Core. CodeBehind was developed by Elanat in 2023 and competes with Microsoft's default web frameworks (ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages and Blazor). The type of structure and naming in CodeBehind is a nostalgia that reminds of former Microsoft Web-Forms.

We at Elanat team call this structure Action Controls. Action Controls are WebFormsJS received codes that are received in INI format. WebFormsJS automatically detects whether the server response has Action Controls or not. If the server's response is based on the structure of an INI file that starts with [web-forms], it will process the Action Controls, otherwise it will replace the server's response in the form of AJAX on the page.

The first version of CodeBehind (1.0.0) was released on 29 June 2023 by Elanat. It has been a year since the release of the first version of CodeBehind (At the time of publishing this article), and with the introduction of new features, this framework has become more efficient and powerful.

Elanat is a large CMS-Framework that is open source and free and belongs to the Elanat team.

The Elanat team will soon bring back the former Microsoft Web-Forms in ASP.NET Standard with a new and powerful architecture to ASP.NET Core. New Web-Forms will be added to the CodeBehind Framework.

A new version of the CodeBehind framework has been released by Elanat. This is version 2.6 of this back-end framework. In version 2.6, the main focus is on dependency injection.

Elanat is a team that has released and supports two products: 1- Elanat CMS

In this tutorial series, we introduce the CodeBehind framework belonging to Elanat. Elanat has dubbed the CodeBehind framework the .NET Diamond.
