        That's like saying "I don't like Ford because the last time I rode in one we went to a movie and I didn't enjoy it." Either he knows he's being insanely irrational or he REALLY doesn't know how this stuff works.

        Well i can't believe that he doesn't know how it works so he most likely just didn't like the idea for whatever reason and that was the first thing he thought of.

          First of all, you can keep your internal documentation site, well... internal. No chance of pharma ads then!

          Second, I purposely moved away from mediawiki. I couldn't stand it anymore, and neither could anyone else.

          A wiki-style Wordpress site has been a godsend. Copy/paste in anything from clipboard... pics, screenshots, videos... even formatting from the web or Word. It's stupid easy and fast to make a very readable wiki page. What takes 5 minutes to do on our Wordpress wiki can take hours on mediawiki. That's not an exaggeration, I mean that literally.

          Third, Wordpress is EXTREMELY secure, more-so than almost every other platform out there. Millions and millions of sites are using it without any security issue at all. Only the people who don't properly secure and maintain it get victimized... and rightfully so!

            It tells you that he either doesn't know how any of it works, or he doesn't know what is plausible. Either way... he doesn't know enough to have a conversation about it and sound like he's aware of what you are discussing.

            Alright I understand that. You can't know about everything so no big deal. Was just hoping I wasn't making myself look foolish to management by presenting my idea. Thanks and appreciate the comments

                  Sounding incompetent is never smart, boss or not. You don't want someone documenting your lack of understanding for when you go to HIS boss to ask for a promotion since YOUR boss doesn't know he's doing.

                  I certainly get that and had no intention to imply that or put him on the spot. I just presented the wiki I had worked long and hard on to him then he asked if it was built on php which I answered yes to. You know the rest

                  I'm guessing Scott is write, he has no idea what those things are - and all he knew is that PHP was the old site, and he had ads and he was unhappy, so he put 1 + 1 together and said what he said...

                    Sure I get that. I had intended it be used by the organization and stay within the firewall so no chance of things like pharmaceutical ads

                      No, but there is a correct way to respond to things that you know and a way not to. Bluffing is not the way to do it.

                        Did you bother to look at any of those? They are all old vulnerabilities from versions of WordPress you should not be using anymore. If you get hit, your fault!

                        Edit: Literally, like every single one of them!

                          Always willing to try new things. Do you remember any of the plugin names that made this "wiki-style" ?

                          Also I like mediawiki because it is much easier to navigate and get to the area you need than is Wordpress from what I have seen anyway. Thats why I chose a wiki for this project.

                            Yeah Wordpress has always been good to me. I have run 2 websites for years and never got hacked which is really a miracle because at first I had no idea what I was doing. The only problem I've had was hackers doing so many attempts at my log in pages and server root that sometimes the site would go down when the server ran out of memory. I had a small server though and after I researched the issue just saw that it was a misconfiguration from Apache which i long since fixed. No issues since then. Knock on lots of Wood!

                                  To keep your WP site secure:

                                  1. KEEP IT UPDATED, ALWAYS! THEME, PLUGINS, WP, EVERYTHING!!!
                                  2. Wordfence Security plugin
                                  3. Securi Security plugin

                                    I've always used Drupal. IMO probably the most secure and flexible CMF there is and built with PHP. Just sounds like someone making excuses.

                                      Yeah tons of things are built with php. I've never tried Drupal but I suppose I will have to experiment sometime.

                                          The learning curve is fairly steep but once you're over the hump you'll never want to use something else. It's kind of weird it's a really steep learning curve but it's super easy (like minutes) once you understand how to use it.

                                            Well it is a programming language in its own way so not really surprising that it takes a while to learn. I only know basics and enough to be dangerous
