90% of what you talk about on your channel is affiliate marketing. Maybe you should change the title of this video to "Wordpress is not the best for affiliate marketers".
More like "Use all this stuff that I'll get a kickback for"
Yup, just what i thought, web hosting companies offer packages to keep your site maintained and secured.
Its up to the customer to get those options.
If your web hosting provider doesn't allow you to change PHP version on your own I guess you should move your wordpress site to a better web hosting provider.
I am a website developer/designer/coder; and I still love WordPress. I can only see these issues as relevant to people who want to maintain a website without expert experience. I would never go back to building a website 100% from scratch_ too many pages and too much coding. Drag and drop builders use more code than necessary and this causes slower performance. There is no other platform that has every thing you can imagine a website needs. So, yes, if you are not a professional developer and can't afford to pay a professional, I can see why you want to look for something easy is your objective. As developers, learning is a part of our job. So, the learning curve is to be expected. I can't stand looking at poorly coded websites and did not hear any issues that are real problems. I still stand by WordPress. It made our lives easier as web-developers, and there is nothing to compare to it.
What About Webflow ?
Isn't That an "In-Between" Solution ?
@@jambokofficial the thing is, Wordpress is open source, it’s free and the community is much greater than anything out there. Comparing Wordpress to webflow is like comparing an IPhone to some third party Chinese smart phone
@david hacckerman what do WordPress Developers Use?
@david hacckerman what do you mean? ofc if you are a developer you can build your own wordpress plugin rather than buy premium plugin!
@david hacckerman build plugin = free! smart bro
But Wordpress is free and the others are not? How about a comparison to equivalent free and open source options.
Webflow is amazing but the monthly cost is to much when your just starting out. It cost the price I’m charging a client for design so I would have to triple my rate and have them set up on monthly charges to pay their price
Ok he's talking to non techies here. If you're a developer and / or programmer and / or front-end (with page builders) and good with it, you won't like the alternatives he's talking about cause they have LOTS of boundaries that WP doesn't have when you add plugins and / or your own code.
And that is the reason why 40% of world loves WordPress. It is extremely customizable. We sometimes don't just one thing and WordPress is great because of that.
Amd how he can be comparing things that are free with paid products?
WordPress has many flaws, but. "After login your username is always admin"?
Where do you get this, what install process, what hosting/script does this please?
Also been using wp for awhile now and I partly agree with you. But I do want better SEO. And would be passing my sites through some of this test. If Wordpress is responsible for 40% of the internet. That’s saying a lot
WordPress is awesome 👌
I think it comes down to what is your niche. We need to focus on our core values and competence i.e if you are selling clothes vs been an instructor (coach) vs you are a news blogger or a filmmaker. Because going forward we will need to integrate our eco systems with AI (to create content). Thanks for the info and I will look into them further.
What platform would you suggest for creating multiple websites?
Any suggestions for paid membership sites for restricted content / annual dues, etc.. thanks 🙏
I can update my PHP version on all my sites no problem. Also, speed tests should be taken with a big pinch of salt. I've tested sites that pass core web vitals with flying colours and they are as slow as fuck, and other sites that are in the orange and are lightning quick. If people use admin as there login name with a shitty password, well then. Also Wix, no thank you.
I hate Wix, all the time you have to put in order the elements, they get disorganized by themselves, Wix is a really high maintainance sitebuilder and in the most bizarre thing.
I have a website that was built in WIX years ago - but they want 220 USD per year to maintain a website that does not change - Any suggestions please. PS I downloaded the Wordpress zip file and was horrified at is impenetrable collection of PHP and instructions
WP most powefull n FREE
WordPress is not bad, there are simply bad users
wordpress is still great guys
I agree, many sleepless nights auditing my sites, but what about the new block editor for speed? What about the NEW required cookie consent? Does your platform come with that? What about PWA respectfully? Gutenburg?
What platform would you recommend for creating a plaftorm similar as glassdoor, for joobseeking?
thanks in advance
Good job thanks in advance.
What about Drupal? Is is better or a good recommendation compared to the 6 other CMS mentioned in this video?
what website builder would you suggest for a listing / classified ads website?
Thanks for making this!
Im looking to build a site for a high end art gallery, Im looking at building in Elemetor. I wonder if Square Space would be an alternative.
what about tech seo issues on shopify such as duplicate content, internal linking to non-canonical pages?
I would like to setup Multi Vendor eCommerce, pls advise which tools good to go ?
Still WordPress development more innovative day by day with new features & plugins with free, freemium and more comfortable since other..
you lost me when mentionned shopify dude !!
What's the best platform for a review website with star ratings please?
it really painful now for me to use wordpress..
i have sites which are now not working at all..can you please make a video on how to transfer all my data to any other platform from wordpress.
What you say about Wordpress is definitely right...And the reason you say that people stay with it is exactly why I have stayed with it...because so many people use it...But I am not very technical but I have been forced to deal with things like php problems...and having an update that is incompatible...thus having the whole system crash...and on and on
Thank you for the recommendations. Recently switched my hosting and it's a pain to switch the site info. So haven't done anything and my site is down not collecting any traffic/data or sales. With this info I can build back better: Thank you!
does wizard have an offline article editor with simple upload to theblog
What would you recommend one uses to build a curated content ( with paid /premium section) website. I will need to scrape and parse data like stock prices, news, etc, to my page. there will be many sources I need to pull from in fact. Thamk you, any help is appreciated.
Agree Wordpress is a pain and is heavy. But your list is quite sad.
Instead you could have shown the viewers how to turn a Wordpress into a static site to make it secure and fast. But then there will be no affiliation link’s 😂
I have been struggle with the WordPress since a while and I’m thinking to switch to shopify my e-commerce business but anyone can tell my It’s possible to save my actual domain that I have using in WP to move on the shopify? Is it any yt video how to do that? I will appreciate any help 🙏🏼🙏🏼☺️
I do not know much, but instead of wordpress I prefer to load the pages in html and css (when they are static websites), when we talk about blogs or stores I prefer to use php or react before using wordpress. In many cases Wordpress is a headache for my clients than a solution.
wordpress is so complicated, hei wordpress developer, can you make wordpress just like wix, or like easy other build platform?
already in the works not for wix
Hey Odi, thank you for sharing such a good info. Since the issue with the core vitals been pushed I struggle to make my WP websites faster. All 3 are failing on most of the vitals. I even upgraded my server and smashed all the images… nothing really helped to get a decent score on lighthouse metrics. Have no problem at all to move to other platform ( wizard for example). The question is: I have many blog posts and value on my websites… can I move my work website to another platform without rewriting all my posts?
Yes many have faced the same issue include myself. Although it IS possible to get decent scores with WP, it will require a LOT of optimizing, configuring plugins, purchasing additional premium plugins/services like CDN. Even then, I still haven’t seen faster load times than Wizrd out of the box.
With that said, you should be able to use the built-in Wordpress “Export” feature. We are currently working on our Wordpress import feature as we speak, and all you would have to do is upload that XML file to import all your posts 😄 You can sign up for a free trial to be added to the email list, where we’ll notify you when it’s ready (next 1-2 weeks hopefully)
Hey Odi! After your last video I wanted to ask you if Not WordPress, What would be the other alternative?? Thanks for sharing.
I’m a paid customer of most of the alternatives in this video and completely switch to them within the next couple weeks
@@oDiProductions I’m currently using Shopify for my e-commerce business. I will definitely check your platform and start with it.
@@snehanjaliD Shopify is amazing for ecommerce, that’s what I’ve been using and switched from Woocommerce a while ago.
@@oDiProductions I agree. I’ve not faced any issue with Shopify so far🤞🏻
thanks for the great information! What would you recommended to build a website for insurance agency and local directory website?
I used WordPress two years ago and I hated it from the beginning
I’ve read many messages like this over the years 😂
Why did you hate using wordpress? Was it because you weren't good at it? Were you expecting it to hold your hand and have it do everything for you? No offence, I actually haven't used wordpress before or any of the alternatives mentioned in this video, but I am glad I watched this video. You got to provide reasons why wordpress wasn't a good fit for you, lol. SMH.
@@mindaudiovisions because it is fucking expensive not everyone is born in us to be rich.
@@mindaudiovisions the problem is if you wanna rank your site on google there is no better choice than wordpress this shit has aqquired 41 percent of website market on internet. and the plans are so fucking expensive for indians wtf . indians don't earn in dollars or euros
You lost me @ shopify...
What’s wrong with Shopify? Please give actual reasons
@@oDiProductions $29 a month, thats not including premium apps. I do agree with you on on wordpress updates, and manual doing the work can be annoying. But you save a lot of money with wordpress.
@@reallyfetv9131
How can you save $ on Wordpress?
Concrete CMS = Perfect!
Totally agree with this, as I'm having the exact same issue today! I'm an editor and content creator and do not have time to deal with WP back end, having been on Wix for sometime, I want to change for the simple reason the sites are slow. Having spent the past 48 hours in WP hell, I'm ready to bail. Thanks so much for this video! Still relevant now as we come to the end of 2021!
No doubt, WordPress sites take a lot of time to maintain.
Nice one! Thanks for sharing! 👍
That is pretty nifty and useful.. Thank you for sharing the information it was the right time to watch your video
Thanks for your opinion. I've been struggling with WP for a few years, even if trying to use Divi, even if a photographer in the past, tired of tech stuff and constant learning... I do videoediting for my vlogs and like it, yet codes and lots of text info is not my thing. So I still don't know how to backup WP properly, and it takes forever to rebuild the websites on WP... Now incompatibility issues php updates vs plugins have started to pop up and I realized is that my websites were down often. I used to use Weebly and it definitely has a lot of cons and limitations yet for non-e-commerce websites it was helpful until they stopped showing websites to Russia and Ukraine in 2018.
Re blogs - as someone looking for an alternative to WP the issue is that you can't be sure for how long those competitors (offering alternative platforms) will stay on the market. blogs are long-term projects and you can invest thousands of hours into a blog and then realize that you are losing your likes, comments, audience etc for one reason or another (dependent on the platform itself).
On another note, many people in Eastern Europe and ex-USSR countries are using Tilda, have you tried it? not sure if it has interface in English. I almost switched to it but it is still another subscription (pricey) and also a learning curve. not clear as well what might happen in terms of access to the platform with all those crazy world events. However many Russian and Ukrainian people swear by it. using it for landing websites especially. Not for blogs probably.
when u start pleasing everyone ends with no one, thanks a lot for tis.
I'm perfectly agree!
Which of them that I can host on my local server?
You're right, I'm continuously having to "fix" something in the wordpress dashboard and after needing one plugin after the other my site has become super heavy and slow. On top of this I'd have to pay someone to figure out how to make it faster now. Too many circles and don't enjoy wordpress personally at all anymore and don't have the time or energy to figure out how to maintain it. Where can I find Wizrd?
Wordpress as grown and its great if I am not building from scratch then its WP
To be webflow wins it in term of building powerful web app
Thank you, I thought it was me!
can i import an existing website
WordPress Core Roadmap : Option to add meta title/description (Q1 2035). Custom feilds (Q3 2060). Multi image field (Q2 2045). Basic Sitemap (Q 4 2055). You can do everything there but very minimal will be done for you (This is the main problem => Just the opposite of tools like Wix or WebFlow). Just thanks to tools like Elementor - Wordpress is still at all competitive (For small/medium sites). **The whole idea that Elementor "bypasses" the horrible WordPress interface (Combine with tools like ACF, Yoast and some more plugins).
Right, I do agree with him and I'm now loosing my account on there as well. Does anyone has some recommendations for me please🙏
Hi there, thanks for the vid! just wondering if you know whether ad agencies only take self hosted websites?
YES
true
Either the core product is open source and free or it doesn't exist.
Do I still need a domain for my website/blog?
Does shopify allow you to hide prices until a user creates an account first and login?
Pakiao quited boxing and moved to IT.))
I'm new to this stuff and started with Wordpress...not really happy. What would you suggest for developing a crowdfunding platform?
Great info! I fell the same way! I'll definitely check these alternatives!
I have built my whole agency (and channel) around Webflow. It is THE BEST! thanks for the vid 🔥
Brizy Cloud????
What about blogger/blogspot?
My favourite cms joomla.
I subscribed and Liked this video !! was looking for such analyses , I'm biginner and I really agree on what you have said about spending more time in building the wordpress site than having that effort and time to grow it's business, too complicated plug here, and there, and I was lost because I don't find themes I see in tutoruals ..hopefully I made a new research to find this video ! this confirms what I think...thank you so much for this video, I'm finnaly decided not to use wordpress! what do you think of weebly ? I'm wroking to built a shop web site which includes somes services (annoucements) . looking forward for ur gentle anwer
If you’re looking to create an online store for ecommerce then I would recommend Shopify. Not a fan of weebly
@@oDiProductions would you please explain why not weebly?
@@lilalila4982 Weebly’s performance isn’t great which hurts SEO, and from a user experience perspective, I’d rather use Squarespace or Wix over Weebly specifically. I think those and Shopify are all better alternatives for an online store / ecommerce specifically
Interesting...
I can build a website from code.
3 hours into trying Wordpress, I can't even figure out how to put text on the page.
It has the most mysterious counter-intuitive interfaces I've ever seen.
Webflow is 1.1 million times better than Wordpress in every way.
It's just such a shame it costs so much more.
Bro I need help I need to talk to you directly
Still use Wordpress and I love it. You dont like? Probably you dont know how to use it. Deal with it.
Man you are so spot on! I feel the same about wordpress. Not so fun anymore. Will check out your platform 👍 Looks sick!
“Not so fun anymore” couldn’t agree more!
1:40 is the real reason! Wordpress is not secure! Always getting hacked😢
How one can contact you?
Great video man, hug from Brazil guys
Awesome very helpful :)
I was thinking to go for the Wordpress but this video help me out the main reasons why I should go other :)
helpful video
You've made a lot a great points!
If the website is created in Wordpress how can I switch to other alternative?? Should I delet and make a new one ??
@@ilyasselhassani539 why not ☹️
Amazing dude. That was really helpful
Webflow for the win
Plus there is no real support at all! They expect us to help each other in forums. After all the money we pay them, really? If you wanna get ghosted after you give them your credit card information then use wordpress. :(
I regret listening to paid affiliates on youtube.
You pay for WordPress??
@@webdev217 I thought wordpress is an open source platform... U pay only for the hosting....
will you be opening up the 30 day challenge soon?
30 day challenge?
@@oDiProductions oh I meant the passive income lifestyle course and the affiliate evolution course on your website. also the cost?
@@chilldayvids2037 Hi David, unfortunately we don’t have plans to reopen at the moment but you can Send an email and we can discuss: odi@odiproductions.com
Odi so basically starting affiliate ain’t worth it in 2021???

Ah, i love wordpress, the thing who can make my wallet fat till now...
You are right. WordPress sucks. I'll go learn HTML, CSS, and JS.
Wordpress is the best.
Wordpress has become a bloated dinosaur.
I never liked wordpress
Oooh thank you for this information and your honest assessment on Wordpress. Now, when I have problems with Wordpress...it is hard for me to contact tech support and when I finally get someone they are not 100% helpful. I told them that Wordpress sucks and it's not user friendly. Thank you for nullifying Wordpress as not the best anymore.
Actually, they have turned me off on doing anything on my blog (I was trying to get an SEO job).
Let's make money online 👍😊
2022 here and i fricking hate wordpress
Only my higher power known but I never was "F YEAH, WP IZ DA SHIZZ!" I Tried 1 paid WP which was still stupid old even years ago but it was my very 1st self made WP. Now there's 1 reason why I decided to pay $$ not including portable beat store which was even more $$ and that was speed! WP was fast. They definitely sold me with that colorful and shiny graphic template but what is very interesting is that I never sold one single beat from WP. Back years ago soundclick was popping and I was top 3 pass 808 mafia. After painful experience advertisement is what worked! All I see now is WP after WP on youtube. Change was going to come. Nice video!
