management or blogging system in use on the Web, supporting more than 60
million websites.
released under the GPLv2 (or later) license from the Free Software Foundation. WordPress has a web template system using a template processor. Once downloaded, WordPress setting up files have a size of about 20 MB. WordPress users may install and switch between diverse themes. Themes allow users to transform the look and functionality of a WordPress website and they can be installed without varying the content or health of the site. Every WordPress website requires at least one theme to be present and every theme should be planned using WordPress standards with structured PHP, valid HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Themes may be unswervingly installed using the WordPress "Appearance" administration tool in the dash or theme folders may be uploaded via FTP. The PHP, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS code create in themes can be added to or edited for providing highly developed features. WordPress themes are in general classified into two categories, free themes and best themes. All the free themes are listed in the WordPress theme directory and premium themes are obtainable for purchase from marketplaces and individual WordPress developers. WordPress users may also generate and build up their own custom themes if they have the knowledge and skill to do so. Underscores has become a well-liked choice for WordPress advanced theme developers which is designed and maintained by the makers of WordPress themselves. If WordPress users do not have sufficient theme development information they may download and use free WordPress themes. WordPress' plugin structural design allows users to extend the features and functionality of a website or blog. WordPress has over 40,501 plugins on hand, each of which offers custom functions and features enabling users to tailor their sites to their explicit needs. These customizations range from search engine optimization, to client portals used to display private in rank to logged in users, to content management systems, to content displaying features, such as the addition of widgets and navigation bars. Not all available plugins are always alongside each other with the upgrades and as a result they may not function properly or may not function at all. Native applications survive for WebOS, Android, iOS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad), Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. These applications, designed by Automattic, allow a limited set of options, which include adding new blog posts and pages, commenting, moderating comments, replying to comments in addition to the capability to view the stats. WordPress also features integrated link management; a search engine–friendly, clean permalink arrangement; the ability to assign multiple categories to articles; and support for tagging of posts and articles. Automatic filters are also included, providing uniform formatting and styling of text in articles (for example, converting regular quotes to smart quotes). WordPress also supports the Trackback and Pingback standards for displaying links to other sites that have themselves connected to a post or an article. WordPress blog posts can be edited in HTML, using the visual editor, or using one of a number of plugins that allow for a variety of adapted editing features. Prior to version 3, WordPress supported one blog per installation, although multiple concurrent copies may be run from poles apart directories if configured to use separate database tables. WordPress Multisites (previously referred to as WordPress Multi-User, WordPress MU, or WPMU) was a fork of WordPress created to allow multiple blogs to exist within one installation but is able to be administered by a federal maintainer. WordPress MU makes it possible for those with websites to host their own blogging communities, as well as control and moderate all the blogs from a single dashboard. WordPress MS adds eight new data tables for each blog. As of the release of WordPress 3, WordPress MU has complex with WordPress. b2/cafelog, more commonly identified as b2 or cafelog, was the precursor to WordPress. b2/cafelog was estimated to have been installed on approximately 2,000 blogs as of May 2003. It was written in PHP for use with MySQL by Michel Valdrighi, who is now a causative developer to WordPress. Although WordPress is the official successor, another project, b2evolution, is also in energetic development. WordPress first appeared in 2003 as a joint endeavor between Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little to create a fork of b2. Christine Selleck Tremoulet, a friend of Mullenweg, suggested the name WordPress. In 2004 the licensing terms for the competing Movable Type box up were changed by Six Apart, ensuing in many of its most influential users migrating to WordPress. By October 2009 the Open Source CMS MarketShare Report completed that WordPress enjoyed the greatest brand strength of any open-source content management system.As of January 2015, more than 23.3% of the top 10 million websites now use WordPress. As of February 2016, WordPress is used by 59.1% of all the websites whose content organization system we know. This is 25.8% of all websites. Many security issues have been open in the software, particularly in 2007, 2008, and 2015. According to Secunia, WordPress in April 2009 had seven unpatched security advisories (out of 32 total), with a utmost rating of "Less Critical". Secunia maintains an up-to-date list of WordPress vulnerabilities. In January 2007, many high-profile search engine optimization (SEO) blogs, in addition to many low-profile saleable blogs featuring AdSense, were targeted and attacked with a WordPress exploit. A separate helplessness on one of the project site's web servers allowed an invader to introduce exploitable code in the form of a back door to some downloads of WordPress 2.1.1. The 2.1.2 liberate addressed this issue; an advisory on the loose at the time advised all users to upgrade
immediately. In May 2007, a study open that 98% of
WordPress blogs being run were exploitable because they were management
outdated and unsupported versions of the software. In part to mitigate this
problem, WordPress made updating the software a much easier, "one
click" automated process in version 2.7 (released in December 2008). However,
the filesystem security settings obligatory to enable the update method can be
an additional risk. In a June 2007
interview, Stefan Esser, the founder of the PHP Security Response Team, spoke
critically of WordPress' security track record, citing problems with the
application's architecture that made it pointlessly not easy to write code that
is secure from SQL injection vulnerabilities, as well as some other troubles. In June 2013, it was set up that some of the
50 most downloaded WordPress plugins were vulnerable to common Web attacks such
as SQL injection and XSS. A separate inspection of the top-10 e-commerce
plugins showed that seven of them were defenseless. In an effort to sponsor better security, and

Individual installations of WordPress can be sheltered with
security plugins that prevent user inventory, hide resources and thwart probes.
Users can also protect their WordPress installations by taking steps such as
keeping all WordPress installation, themes, and plugins modernized, using only
trusted themes and plugins, editing the site's .htaccess file to avoid many
types of SQL inoculation attacks and block unauthorized access to sensitive
files. It is above all central to keep WordPress plugins updated because
would-be hackers can easily list all the plugins a site uses, and then run
scans pointed for any vulnerability against those plugins. If vulnerabilities
are found, they may be broken to allow hackers to upload their own files (such
as a PHP Shell script) that assemble sensitive information. Developers can also
use tools to analyze budding vulnerabilities, including WPScan, WordPress
Auditor and WordPress Sploit Framework residential by 0pc0deFR. These types of
tools explore known vulnerabilities, such as a CSRF, LFI, RFI, XSS, SQL
injection and user inventory. However, not all vulnerabilities can be detected
by tools, so it is prudent to check the code of plugins, themes and other
add-ins from other developers. In March 2015, it was reported by many security
experts and SEOs including Search Engine Land that a SEO plugin for WordPress
called Yoast which is used by more than 14 million users worldwide has a weakness
which can lead to an develop where hackers can do a Blind SQL injection. To fix
that subject they immediately introduced a newer version 1.7.4 of the same
plugin to avoid any uproar on web because of the security lapse that the plugin
had. WordPress' minimum PHP version prerequisite
is PHP 5.2, which was on the loose on January 6, 2006, 11 years ago, and which has been not backed
up by the PHP Group and not customary any security patches since January 6,
2011, 6 years ago. Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little were cofounders
of the project. The core lead developers include Helen Hou-Sandí, Dion Hulse,
Mark Jaquith, Matt Mullenweg, Andrew Ozz, and Andrew Nacin. WordPress is also developed by its community, including
WP testers, a group of volunteers who test each release. They have near the opening
access to nightly builds, beta versions and release candidates. Errors are
documented in a special mailing list, or the project's Trac tool. Though mainly
developed by the community surrounding it, WordPress is closely connected with Automattic,
the company founded by Matt Mullenweg. On September 9, 2010, Automattic handed
the WordPress trademark to the newly bent WordPress Foundation, which is an
umbrella organization underneath WordPress.org (including WordPress' primary sustain

and documentation, and WordPress Forums, an full of life online community of

locally planned conferences covering the lot related to WordPress. The first
such event was WordCamp 2006 in August 2006 in San Francisco, which lasted one
day and had over 500 attendees. The first WordCamp outside San Francisco was
held in Beijing in September 2007. Since then, there have been over 507
WordCamps in over 207 cities in 48 diverse countries around the world. WordCamp
San Francisco 2014 was the last official annual conference of WordPress
developers and users taking place in San Francisco, having now been replaced
with WordCamp US.
