WordPress is a great blogging CMS.
The fact that people use it for something else is what create strong opinions.
Example : woo commerce.
Products ? In the WP_POST db.
Orders ? In the WP_POST db.
And in every post about WP it says that using WP_POST for storing your data is good practice.
Well I don't think it is (but it's only my opinion. A strong one).
And the problem is that a LOT of plugins and themes are like that.

- JeanMarcS 2y agoOk, sorry for this example. I last worked on one about a year and a half ago.
- 5636588 2y agoFYI, WooCommerce added the ability to store orders in a separate database table.
- paulryanrogers 2y agoDo you mean table(s)?
- paulryanrogers 2y agoPerhaps you mean 'table'?
- photomatt 2y agoThis was a bit of a reaction to other CMSes that were creating dozens or hundreds of tables, which creates a different set of problems for things like search or overly complex joins.
- JodieBenitez 2y agoAnyone remember the old Spip CMS ? People used to cram every possible content in the _ARTICLES_ loop. Same mistake.
