A website/blog engine.
Decent. I switched to this because I didn't really want to get into making my own thing. I can tolerate WordPress because of BlogText.
NOTE - WordPress is controlled by a dictatorship of tyrannical assholes. This won't matter to most people, but it will for some.

- Why I will move away from WordPress, guaranteed
- 2020-11-19 - 5.5.3 on PHP 7.3.21
- 2019-04-17 - 5.1 on PHP 7.3

403 Forbidden error ∞
I get an 403 Forbidden error when the source of a page contains $ and then a { immediately afterward.
This has been reproduced with all plugins disabled.
This did not use to happen with earlier versions of WordPress, but I do not know when this problem was introduced.
2019-04-17 - 5.1 ∞
WordPress 5.1 with PHP 7.3 "white screen of death" ∞
This was not solved for me by disabling themes or plugins, though maybe I didn't do the disabling correctly.
The problem is indicated in error_log, which was a memory limit problem.
The solution is:
- edit
wp-config.php
- locate the "Happy Blogging" line
Above that line, add:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

I forgot to add my WordPress 5.1 with PHP 7.3 "white screen of death" misadventure.
- dumping in my final notes
- concluded porting WordPress
- adjusted the date
Finally found the problem with $ and then { causing "403 Forbidden" errors.
WordPress 5.8 and PHP 8.0.9 minimum PHP modules
The site broke overnight, and upgrading to PHP 8.1 works, and with only one module loaded.
