[JohnnyNight]

If you take a good advice: don't put your money making site on Weebly - or any other free 3rd party hosted solution. You will never get 100% control over your website and very likely that you will conflict with their terms of use by adding affilaite links / operating within the gambling niche.

Always self-host your website that way you are in 100% control.

[JohnnyNight]

Yeah, definitely realize that...

I just got to use to everything new from what I did before...

Takes a personality adjustment to make it happen... Lol...

WordPress continue to be the most hacked CMS!

Can't fault Wordpress...

[LisaJupiter]

If you need something simple, easy and quick to get up. Wordpress is the answer!

[Aidan90]

Would recommend Wordpress to anyone.

If you are looking for a Wordpress theme which is designed and suited to casinos (plus other gambling niches) then I'm reliably informed by colleagues who have sites in this niche that Flytonic is ideal (I can't provide the URL as I haven't posted enough on the forum). A quick Google search for Flytonic will sort you out.

I've not used it myself, but I do value the feedback I was given by my colleagues.

Worth a look if you are still looking for an appropriate Wordpress theme I guess

and I like joomla. it's a little more complicated than wordpress , but when You study it, then it has more possibilities

[Miles_Videoslots]

WP is easy to mainaitain and upgrade as you go along easy enough to start a webiste even if your a novice

[manuelinbmw]

wordpress there are plugins for everything you need.

Flytonic themes are very easy to use and tailored towards affiliate sites. Shame they don't look a little bit better than they do. With an improved design they would be killer. But I do recommend them without a doubt.

Just starting to build my site and finding I'm geting a HTTP 500 error when I try to customise the vast majority of WordPress themes. Anyone else had a similar issue? Very frustrating not being able to get past hurdle one!

Look in the .htccess file.

Look in the .htccess file.

Thanks for your reply. I cannot locate this file at all, even with the help of File Zilla. I'll just contact the host and see what they say.

Thanks

Hi Sweetbet,

Thanks..

Yeah, I know it's really popular and seems like most people use it..

I see different sites like squarespace and weebly similar to wordpress..

I'm used to owning software and running it on your own computer, so wondering if there is any software like wordpress that you can own yourself..?

There are TWO ways to use wordpress: wordpress.com, and self-hosted.
Wordpress.com is entirely managed for you. You can only install approved themes etc, and they get upset about affiliate marketing. I got banned, which is why I set up my site (bashthebookies.net)

If you use the self-hosted version from wordpress.org, then you can do what you like with it. You just need hosting space and a domain name.
You can get a lot of the functionality of wordpress.com by installing the jetpack plugin.

Make sure you use security software eg wordfence, and follow best practice. (no "admin" account, no account with id=1, strong passwords, etc)

You may also want to think about using encryption (SSL), as the BIG G is planning on marking un-encrypted sites as "unsecure".. it's a hassle, but I've done it so it's not that hard.

I hope this helps..

There may not be one! Unless you (or something like wordpress) have changed settings eg permalinks, there may not be a file.
Just create one.. (or in wordpress, change the permalinks settings)

Yeah I figured it out in the end, took me a while though! Thanks.

Hi Petimi,

Neat to see you're here..

So I just realized, and I assume it's true that wordpress is what you would call back end site development software..

Not a WYSIWYG site software builder, which is what I'm used to using..

I just found a theme called DIVI, which is a theme that is a WYSIWYG site builder for wordpress..

The Divi Theme is a fully featured WordPress theme.

It also includes the Divi Builder, which is a stand-alone WYSIWYG plugin which can be installed alongside any other wordpress theme.

This sounds really good to me..

It's available at elegantthemes . com

Wondering if anyone here has used it..?

Thanks

We started using Divi for some new projects and it's pretty good. Not that we have a lot of experience with WP sites and what they offer, we've been using Drupal for a decade. But that said, Divi is far easier than our previous Drupal page creation.

the designers of such sites is in Joomla
