Why is WordPress Considered to be the Favourite CMS

Among so many CMS or Content Management Systems that are available, WordPress is considered to be the most the adored as well as the preferred one. There are a number of reasons behind it. Let us discuss the features that have made WordPress the most accepted CMS.

Firstly, it is considered to be one of the most powerful semantic platforms that facilitate publishing of content – irrespective of volume. Secondly, it comes up with a series of value added features that are specifically designed to make the end users experience as pleasant, as friendly, as well as, as smooth as possible as a publisher. Let us discuss the features that make this particular CMS so much popular.

Updated as well as Improved Post Editor

WP comes up with TinyMCE, which is a software that powers its visual editor. The latest version of WP comes up with an updated version of this Post Editor by the virtue of which, the interface looks much cleaner, as well as less cluttered or clumsy than in was in the previous versions. The customary “Paste from Word” button is missing as it is not required anymore, because pasting a text from the MS Word does not leave the users with a messy cluster of words any more that needs to be rearranged or edited afresh. There are options to preview the galleries from the editor. All the users need to do is to upload the images and then follow it up by inserting a gallery for checking them out.

Drag and Drop option of Images

WP also comes up with a unique feature that allows the users to drag as well as drop images into the Post Editor. For that the users do not have to click on the “Add Media” tab. As soon as an image is dragged into the post editor, the media uploader automatically pops up to let the users add a caption, ascertain the size of the image etc.

Live Widget Preview

The new version of WordPress provides the option of editing and previewing the Widgets instantly from the Customizer Screen. Therefore, there is no need to continuously save the widgets and refresh the sites to have a look at every change – small or big, that has been done on the front end, before saving or publishing the settings. Then there is the updated Customizer feature that helps the users to upload, crop as well as manage the header images.

Editing the Images

When it comes to editing the images, WordPress comes up with a handful of options that help adding as well as editing of images in a seamless way. It also helps in cropping and editing the images even when a post is being written. The users also can crop a photo into the post editor by clicking on the photo in question, and resizing it by dragging the handles to the edges. Even while editing the images, an edit image screen comes up in modal form. Hence, the user does not have to go to the Edit Image page separately – the fact that saves time, besides making the process much simpler.

Theme Installer

The 3.8 version of WP comes in a much improved form with the Theme Installer feature that makes it easier, smoother, as well as simpler for the users to browse through various themes that they are looking forward to preview and then install.

It also provides the option of tracking the site statistics if and when needed, and also allows the users to customize their designs to meet their needs or objectives without any effort whatsoever. WordPress also helps creating as well as reading various kinds of mobile apps for devices like iPhone, Android, iPad and Blackberry. The feature is specifically designed as well as developed for publishing and sharing content, thereby luring the readers to visit a site. The CMS also has certain qualities with the help of which it ensures that the site in question is presented in an optimal format so that it appears at the top of the search engine pages, the moment the page is published and shared.
