> But I want to move to a new CMS. The most polite thing I can say about WordPress is that it's moved in a direction away from what I need. The new(ish) WYSIWYG editor, with the blocks, is very far from what I need or want.
Why don't you just turn off the block editor? https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-gutenberg/ or similar.
> Right now, the biggest problem I face is the security flaws. The last time I upgraded I was immediately hacked, and after many attempts to get WordPress setup correctly, I found I could not avoid being hacked unless I chmod everything 0444, which means I cannot currently upload images, which I find frustrating.
Switching to another CMS is likely not going to change the possibility of getting hacked. There are plenty of Wordpress sites out there that don't get hacked. I would politely suggest that you may be doing something wrong and that there might be something less invasive that you can do than migrating to a different CMS.
> A static site generator would be fine with me.
I highly recommend Hugo if you're going to switch to a static site generator. Lots of Wordpress importers available, some of which you can find here: https://gohugo.io/tools/migrations/#wordpress https://gohugo.io/tools/migrations/#wordpress
