Best CMS Alternative to Wordpress?
-
I built a Moodle education website, but its SEO is very limited.
Now I need to build a blogging website to attract traffic to my Moodle website.
I know Wordpress might be the most popular one, but I also heard it has serious security issues (easy to be hacked?).
So I am looking for alternatives to Wordpress.
- It must have really good SEO.
- It must be very secure (at least more secure than Wordpress)
- It must support markdown.
- It must allow my users to sign up with emails or google oauth.
- It would be better if it has stripe integration.
- It would be nice if I do not need to install many plugins.
With these prerequisites considered, is Ghost my best option?

Definitely, Ghost. I was saying that to myself after reading each of your bullet points. The features you get out of the box are exactly what you need to get a blog/community going with minimal effort (excluding the extra google oauth steps required).
@staff possible solution to have forum sections restricted to paying customers; Ghost (as SSO) + Discourse integration.

https://github.vikaspotluri.me/discourse-on-ghost/I just realized I need a multilingual feature, but ghost doesn't seem to have native support. I have to use a third party service:
https://ghost.org/docs/faq/translation/In moodle, the multilingual feature is extremely good. I can use the multi-language content v2 plugin on moodle to create content in multiple languages. Moodle will only show the content in users' prefered language.
I can create the content using this syntax: {mlang en}English{mlang}{mlang zh_cn}中文{mlang}
I am not sure when ghost will have native support.

@taowang I have no experience with multi-language sites. In case, you missed this last part from your link:
Note that the translate helper mentioned above doesn’t work for multi-language content sites, as its purpose is entirely different.

@taowang Perhaps this will help as a starting point: https://www.cms-garden.org/en
