technically speaking Wordpress IS a Content Management System. but only technically. it’s not designed to cope with complex category structures as well with other difficult tasks, thus creating a niche for various plugins, which are usually not perfect aswell.

WP is ok for blogging or simple company websites. but if you need to import UK towns - come on, create a dedicated system for that, it’s not that difficult to do it for an advanced programmer

I wasn’t aware about this event, but it looks extremely interesting. Might try and round up a few people and head down. Thanks for the heads up.

First things first, i freakin’ love Wordpress! I persuade clients and mates to use it and I usaully have to advise them on how to get what they need, and most of the time they do.

That said, yes you do have a point :-). WP is not a CMS and was not really designed as one.

Hovever I am not the only one who wants to use this software as a CMS:

As to doctoring the system, yes, would love to be able to do that, but the stuff in the admin is difficult to control. I feel this would be better inserted from the core as to messed with after in what would be a code bodge.

Lots of people would use it more if it could handle what I am “moaning” about and I feel sure that the people making wordpress could add this in quite easily.

So for me this is a polite request. Can we have the ability to add multiple and may categories (i am not the only one) please.

cheers
