WordPress boasts an unrivaled flexibility. There's an opportunity to customize every component of your website. That certainly applies to themes. For years, some developers opted to build custom themes from (or near) scratch. Whether starting from a blank screen or a starter framework like Underscores (rest in peace), the goal is to craft a theme that suits your project. This approach predates the Block Editor, which was introduced way back in WordPress 5.0.

I've imported a powerpoint into Captivate Classic in order to create a clickable 'chapter menu' for people to be able to jump to different sections of the training material. The SCORM File is then embedded into a webpage (WordPress) for people to be able to go to and present directly from the webpage. At the moment I have a click box overlay on each slide to progress to the next slide,
It seems like everyone has a spam story or two to tell. And we're not talking about in a lifetime. No, spam is an everyday nuisance and something we live with. The problem impacts every corner of the web. Sure, it litters social networks and enterprise applications. But even the smallest websites are bombarded with phony comments, form submissions, user registrations, and e-commerce orders. This hurts the user experience and makes life miserable for site owners.

There are pros and cons to this seismic industry shift. On the bright side, AI speeds up the development process. We don't have to spend hours poring over WordPress documentation. Instead, we explain our coding needs in plain language. AI helps us build new things from scratch and troubleshoot existing code.

What part of SEO would be different from any of these CMSs vs WP? They make HTML, it's crawlable. CMSs have evolved a lot since the early days; it's no longer 2018 where some of these used JS or Flash (though those kinds of sites were interesting in their own ways too :-)). There's also managed WP hosting. Anyway, from my POV for the average content-y site, there's no fundamental SEO difference between mainstream CMSs, even static hosting with modern frameworks is fine.
Due to its complexity, any eLearning website requires a comprehensive management system for seamless operations.

LearnDash is a top-tier LMS specifically designed for WordPress websites, aimed at enhancing learning programs for anyone looking to offer them, whether for entrepreneurs or universities.
In October, when Automattic took over the slug of WP Engine's product within the ecosystem, we received phone calls from the chief legal counsels of some of our clients... saying, 'this is a supply chain security issue.'
