Joomla Vs Wordpress 2015 | In depth comparison - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


it difficult accurate , knowledge information regarding differences between wordpress , joomla in comparison scenarios because 1 information outdated. two, information comes serious lack of development point of view rather heard mentality of anecdotal users here , there.

i not trying hand on winner either way trying illustrate key differences of perceive differences , hold observations developer capable point of view.

now, have gone on info developers both systems , find of responses oddly biased based upon system doing... sort of not "ok yea right limitation of xyz."

so lets begin. , please response , purpose of post vast understanding of 2 systems have offer.

1st. plugins bad. let's face it. wordpress windows vulnerabilities , attacks because more popular cms. joomla guilty/susceptible have wp worse. moreover, , read , totally agree. wordpress or joomla matter depreciating assest. mean? overtime sites worth less , in more , more danger based upon ones ability or organizational effort update , maintain core updates , plugin updates. badly coded or ignored wp plugin can leave site hacked , compromised. i've seen happen many times.

you hear developers on , on again "want away plugins" can write myself, , on...

now, experiences , conclusions this. plugins, extensions, , components joomla's top dev builders vastly superior wordpress's similar efforts. yes there wooforms rsforms rsforms light years ahead of wooforms or contact forms 7.

stack ideas components can give amazing blog, forum questions, or social network site in minutes. amazing. wordpress doesn't come close level of quality these products deliver.

appointmentbookingspro example of excellent system maintained , available on joomla system , no found on wordpress.

winner on quality , level of capability app extensions = joomla far

2nd. configuration key...
this main reason why had right forum post because have been losing mind @ work , wanted coherent level headed argument why our company needs switch wp joomla , or drupal matter.

wordpress seems rigid. based upon template. yes there custom-post-types, plugins , widgets 1 engrained template using in case of custom-post-types.

with joomla can develop component or module can placed anywhere on site per page resolution. meaning, if want component on mysite/component able that. have same control module. wordpress can't that. in way can again in template rather being separate entity... when styling site can include component , style information way want based upon template. wp better hope template or you'll hacking it. @ work day.

again, fair widget kind of module not , not level of organization , per page resolution joomla module is. , building plugin function based utilize module capability seems ridiculous me. brings me next point.

winner = joomla

3rd. joomla mvc , wordpress function after function after function = plugins cause high server load!!!
i don't know how joomla people don't come firing reality , again not bash wp illustrate reality. wordpress has high server load high traffic sites. period.
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=wo ... erver+load
about 1,910,000 results (0.32 seconds)
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=jo ... erver+load
about 417,000 results (0.33 seconds)

wp plugins cause many of problems well... again function php based may data calls day long...

quote site --- "it number of things .. when comes wordpress plugins worst issues load have seen backupbuddy plugin can particularly bad when restoring data ..."

this site here explains how caching issue , install more plugins caching... ridiculous.

here reference issue. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1402 ... ted-server

our sites server failing , did literally whole day 1 time not long ago. getting letters our vps either fix our php , make more efficient or off of servers. well, going of above.

after looking subject wordpress have issue this. no 1 seems talk though.

the culprit seems come 2nd point illustrated previously... plugins , not plugins plugins way designed , written wp. function after function. dev brought on board without previous bias 1 cms vs other because doesn't use them said "wordpress function after function , not way write code platform. @ least joomla mvc based."

winner = joomla if have developer on hand customize functionalities want.

4th menu assignments , organization seems better joomla. if want different page have use custom-post-type discussed earlier. joomla can module or component. said can go backend via joomla 3.xxx , assign menu items per template choose. powerful , allows create varying scenarios of , feel of different sites within subdomain or subfolder structure... cannot achieved in wordpress. have heard people use multisite. no multisite not allow multitemplate per choosing of site... without of course hack , plugin. multisite worse server load. isn't option.

again wp can custom-post-type based on template inside... not allow lot of flexibility if per se don't want way or different subfolder or subdomain of site.

say example running nfl network , have nfl.com if want different page , experience each team nightmare in wordpress , scenario. in joomla build different template each team , install per menu.. menu's organized in backend easy situation me develop for.

in wordpress how that? have have custom-post-types , individual installs of wordpress per subfolder... doing now. horrible experience , 30 different databases. ridiculous.

winner = joomla!

feel free weigh in interested in being corrected or figuring out different methods of accomplishing same task... if joomla better @ things complex situations , lets give joomla credit credit due.

... similar ''comparison'' possible other topics wordpress beat joomla.
your comparison took few parts of system.
just example - mentioned easy blog looks best joomla time ... on other hand, if user want blog , compare core wordpress installation , set vs. joomla + easy blog 2 steps bed wordpress , running 1km joomla , easy blog :)
menu assignements great, organized, structured, when find 5 different urls same content, can change situation.

it depends on side , how look. example not long ago jreviews relatively complex , big directory/review component joomla ... same wordpress, functionality, menus, user management ... possible wordpress.
one component same job on both systems.
so depends on developer of extension/plugin/theme/template .... , in area wordpress far joomla, bc. many users, more developers, more money, higher quality ....
how mentioned poor quality of wordpress component, check extensions joomla, many them can not install :) or uninstall :)
important point is, more users prefer wordpress, bc. simplicity , easy of use, why many developers prefer wordpress, bc. huge user base, more customers them.

many times similar comparison myself. never finished end result :) bc. wordpress have own advantage , joomla have own.
btw. hear more developers talking joomla better on same ways, many other cms or systems better, work wordpress, bc. userbase - customers :)

during using both systems many times swear 1 or other ... example, in wordpress installed few cliks contact form 7, put (shortcode) site want have contact form , have it, looks nice , work well, can add field there, custom easy ... swear joomla why complicated , ugly looking many settings not similar job contact form in wordpress.
on other hand, when have custom post , see ugly ''taxonomy'' in link not structured or logical, garbage in url link ... swear wordpress :) oh or limitation of themes ... how theme heavy limit can display on site.

i m still in situation simple website use wordpress , user base - directories website use joomla ... see future brings.

i m checking both systems , community around , perspective wordpress win agains joomla in major points.
