help ClassicPress FAQ

Is ClassicPress a WordPress plugin or a separate CMS?

ClassicPress is a separate content management system built as a fork of WordPress. It uses PHP and MySQL while keeping a familiar WordPress-style administration experience.

Can ClassicPress use WordPress themes and plugins?

Many WordPress themes and plugins can work with ClassicPress, but compatibility is not guaranteed. Test important extensions on a staging copy because plugins that depend on newer WordPress features may need changes.

Is ClassicPress the same as Ghost CMS?

No, ClassicPress is a PHP and MySQL fork of WordPress, while Ghost is a separate CMS built around Node.js. ClassicPress is the closer choice when you want a traditional WordPress-style site without moving to Ghost's platform.

Can ClassicPress power a static website?

ClassicPress itself is a dynamic PHP and MySQL CMS, not a static site generator. It can act as a content source for a separate static-site workflow, but that requires an additional integration or publishing process.
