> Don’t make the mistake of believing the default settings of WP come from any kind of informed wisdom instead of historical accident. I don't, thanks. To repeat myself, I just say it's better not to assume they are wrong. Almost every bit of bad WP development out there comes from people who work against the flow of what WP is doing, whether because they don't understand or do understand and feel they know better. They may, in fact, know better, but it's almost always wasted energy that leads to future unmaintainability when a WP site is handed to a new stakeholder for example. The WP sites I've had to maintain where someone has subverted the templates, or tried to superimpose some MVC scheme, or whatever, have always been the worst ones. There are good, official tools to manage most of the idiosyncrasies of WP (WP-CLI, for example) without just arbitrarily moving stuff around. Learning them helps.
