Cloudron Plugin for Wordpress

@Lonk said in Cloudron Plugin for Wordpress:

The only difference between the two app packages is automatic WP major updates with "Managed" and then having SFTP access with "Unmanaged", correct?

And LDAP support for Managed and not present for Unmanaged. But yes, I think that's about the only differences between them.

@d19dotca Interesting, I almost one to say that they should be one App Store offering with those choices (SFTP, Managed updates, LDAP). Cause as a new user I find Unmanaged and Managed Wordpress to be kind of confusing. I thought until today that Managed didn’t have plugins.

@Lonk I agree. Personally I think there should just be one WordPress app on the Cloudron App Store, would make it easier on most people I think (including the developers), but I can also understand why they made the decision for two different routes too.

One can always host Wordpress in the LAMP app stack on Cloudron but unfortunately the LAMP apps don’t allow LDAP tie-ins (which is something I’d really like to see since SSO is one of the selling points to Cloudron after all.)

Definitely room for improvement in the way some apps are packaged, IMO, but it’s honestly all such amazing work they’re doing (especially when it’s basically just two people running the show!) and I’m always happy to contribute in some small ways along with many others who are way more talented and been able to contribute a lot more than I have.

But we digress, lol. Back to the main topic...

@d19dotca Thanks for your input. I happen to feel the same way about this as I do about the LAMP app. In the store, just let me choose my PHP version and only have one LAMP app. I think this method has a better conveyance for new users of Cloudron. But, admittedly, this is harder work than having them separate - but it's food for thought for the developers.
