bedrock VS WordPress

There are ready-made boilerplates like Bedrock and Sword but, at an architectural level, I'm not a fan of any I've seen.

Node (within the docker container) to build theme assets, composer to manage WordPress core + plugins and other dependencies. I built something similar to Roots for project boilerplate, custom starter theme and in-house mu-plugin within it.

Is this any good? https://roots.io/bedrock/ for a plugin?

As I only really use it for keeping stuff up to date, I'm looking at using Roots Bedrock for my next project. I'll then be keeping everything up to date via composer.

What advantages does WordPlate have over Bedrock[1], some of whose packages WordPlate also uses?

Probably looking for a https://roots.io/bedrock/

WordPress on containers is a very different beast if you actually want to use any of the advantages of containers. You probably need to figure out how to run upgrades by building a new image and not with the WP installer (which you need to disable to not have sudden version rollbacks). You probably want your plugins managed by compose and not a user. You probably want an S3 plugin for media. In fact, you probably want Bedrock. This is not a "single day task", just taking in the requirements and design phase is easily a day or two.

I'd strongly advice using Bedrock ( https://roots.io/bedrock/ ) and possibly even Sage

No, as far as I know it’s not that easy to accomplish with WordPress. You can use Bedrock (https://roots.io/bedrock/ ) as a Boilerplate for your development process. The Database can not be cloned to each environment that easily. Because every instance is working on it’s own. So if others want to work on their local machine they need a database dump which they have to setup manually on their machine. The only way that comes in my mind is to set up a development site that is accessible for every developer. You could then connect your local WordPress environment with the database from that development site. Everyone would than be working in the same database and everybody could see the changes someone else is making. But I think that wouldn’t be best practice but could be an option.

Creating a high-performance website is essential in today’s digital age. Speed, efficiency, and a seamless user experience are the cornerstones of successful web development. This article explores how combining Next.js with WordPress can achieve these goals, providing a robust solution for developers looking to elevate their web projects.

WordPress as the backend headless CMS, offering a versatile content management foundation.

Open source CMS WordPress and Drupal introduced WYSIWYG editors and template customization to empower independent publishing but page building was still largely code-driven.

While specific CMS platforms were not directly listed in the sources as explicitly supporting Behat, it’s widely known in the development community that Behat can be integrated with several PHP-based CMS platforms. Drupal and _WordPress _are notable examples of PHP CMSs that support Behat testing, thanks to their flexible architecture and the availability of various plugins or modules that facilitate integration with Behat. For instance:

WordPress is the most popular CMS(Content Management System) among bloggers. The same fact has made WordPress more vulnerable to attacks by hackers. Especially for authentication vulnerabilities such as brute-force attacks.

I recent WordFence scan identified the plugin reCaptcha by BestWebSoft as a "critical" vulnerability adding that it has been removed from wordpress.org. Where can I find information as to why it was removed from wordpress.org or why it is a critical security vulnerability?

The Genshine Impact database site looks pretty custom, can't tell if there is any CMS involved. You could start with the tried and tested WordPress. I built my gaming site on WordPress, it's not as fancy as the site you linked but it has plenty of options and flexibility to build all sorts of sites.

Almost every host has one-click WordPress installs these days using either cPanel's WP Toolkit or Softaculous, so that should be a non-issue. You never have to visit wordpress.org if you go that route; the host is handling that for you. Watch Ferdy Korpershoek's videos on YouTube for tutorials on getting started with WordPress. Personally, I would not go with his hosting recommendations, however. I like iWebFusion, but there are other good recommendations over at /r/webhosting

I am on wordpress (commerce plan ) £55pm. wordpress.com is what I am using, however I have heard of wordpress.org also which requires more technical knolwedge which I am willing to invest in over the next 12 months.

wordpress.org requires that user input should be sanitized and validated, and output should be escaped, to prevent mischief by bad actors. This mantra is embedded in current wordpress.org plugin guidelines. Unfortunately older plugins may not comply, leaving them vulnerable. They always were vulnerable, but what's changed is the light has been shone on the issue by Patchman and others. Publicly available code can be scanned by both good and bad actors to detect where malware can be injected.
