The phpWordPress support forum, 2004–2006, revisited. Questions and announcements from the original phpWordPress support forum, kept as history and answered again for today's publishing software.
Between 2004 and 2006 this domain ran a support forum for phpWordPress, a PHP news and article manager. The forum is closed, but its threads are a record of what publishers needed from their software twenty years ago, and many of the questions are still being asked.
Each thread here shows the original posts from the archived forum, with usernames and contact details removed. Where a thread asked a question, we answer it again for the publishing tools available today.
