Wordpress: Everything about it (dubvee.org)

Got suckered into helping a non-profit with their web presence, and of course, it was a Wordpress site (at least it wasn't a Facebook page).

Everything about WP is mildly infuriating at best, just regular infuriating at worst. Everything. If you know, you know. It's like they tried so hard to make it "easy" to use that it went full circle into a fuster-cluck of unintuitive and clunky everything.

With every facet of the experience being an upsell, is there a tier where it's just not horrible to use?

Specific examples:

WYSIWYG editor doesn't match the preview
Chasing the scroll point in the outline when moving elements
Can't edit block properties after they're added
Everything is a damn upsell
- Want to remove the Wordpress footer? Upgrade to a paid plan (does not specify tier)
- Okay, I've updated to a paid plan that meets our needs. Please remove the footer please.
- "Oh, you have to have a plan two tiers up to do that"
General clunkyness
Only supports Apple map embeds which cannot find any of the addresses I need to enter
- Cannot embed a Google map properly (doesn't support percentage widths for the iframe element so I can't make it responsive)
Changing the column widths on a layout grid block never releases the slider, so you have to mash keys until something else selects that locks it roughly where you want it.

I don't know where to start. I get that you're mad, but you're also just... You clearly dont know what you're doing. And that's okay. But that's like sucking at a videogame and blaming the controller.

WordPress is excellent. It's only downside is that they present large attack surface areas, but that's only because they e made it so easy to hobble together all kinds of plugins to get your site to do anything.

From the sounds of your post, you dont like the theme you're using. Maybe try a different theme. Or maybe you should switch to the classic editor? Idk.

You only have to pay for things you opt not to do yourself. That's it. WordPress is free and open source.

To be blunt: it's a skill issue.
