General WordPress Questions

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am looking for a CMS to go with my existing Xenforo forum.

    A WordPress bridge exists and seems to be very popular, but I have never used WordPress and have a few general questions.

    My goal is to have it be a CMS and not a blog site (already off to a bad start, right?).

    I need to be able to create article categories and subcategories.

    I need to be able to allow my users (all registered users) to submit articles, but the articles must be approved by a staff member before the article is visible to the public.

    I have read about why I should not use categories and topic in permalinks, but I’m not sure what else would work for my site. People want to view articles by article topic and not the date the article was published.
    For example, if the url were similar to /weapons/staff it would make more sense to my users (and me) than a date based URL.

    I have used Drupal quite a bit in the past and see that the pods widget seems to be similar. What are some of the more popular widgets I can review to help me setup a CMS?

    Thank you for your time and I really appreciate any help.

    You will DEFINITELY need to be at WordPress.org, as WP.com won’t suit what you’re looking for at all.
