Overview
ClassicPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) forked from WordPress, emphasizing stability, simplicity, and performance. It eliminates the block editor (Gutenberg) found in modern WordPress, retaining the classic editor that many users prefer. Its architecture focuses on lightweight code, improving performance and privacy. ClassicPress core is half the size of WordPress, reducing server load and enhancing page load speeds. It features HTML5 support throughout, replacing obsolete JavaScript. Developers can build custom websites, e-commerce platforms, blogs, intranets, headless CMS solutions, and even apps. The system offers new features like object relationship database tables, media categories and tags, revisions management, and accessible menus and modals.
