Write code every day

Simplicity
ClassicPress maintains the classic WYSIWYG editor, which many users and developers find simpler and more intuitive compared to the Gutenberg block editor in newer WordPress versions.
Compatibility
ClassicPress is designed to be compatible with themes and plugins built for WordPress 4.9 and earlier. This ensures a wide range of themes and plugins are readily available.
Stability
With a focus on maintaining a stable and consistent experience, ClassicPress avoids dramatic changes, making it a more predictable and reliable platform for long-term projects.
Security
ClassicPress prioritizes security and aims to provide timely updates to protect sites from vulnerabilities, ensuring a secure environment.
Community-driven
ClassicPress is a community-led project, granting users and developers a greater say in its development direction and decision-making process.

Smaller Community
ClassicPress has a smaller user base compared to WordPress, which can result in fewer available community resources, support forums, and articles.
Limited Features
By sticking to the classic editor and avoiding newer features of WordPress, ClassicPress may lack some of the innovative functionalities that modern versions of WordPress offer.
Plugin Compatibility
Although most WordPress 4.9 and earlier plugins are compatible, newer plugins designed exclusively for updated versions of WordPress may not work with ClassicPress.
Development Resources
Being a volunteer-driven project, ClassicPress may have limited development resources compared to commercial platforms, which can impact the speed and frequency of updates.
Perception
Some users may perceive ClassicPress as outdated or a step backward because it forgoes some of the advancements and direction taken by modern WordPress developments.
