It provides flexibility in building and adding plug-ins, but the plug-in interface is not object-oriented.
Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented. It's diffuse, and you feel like you're dropping bits into many places. They're called plug-ins, but you don't feel like you're plugging in your code, but just reaching in with a hundred tentacles. Lastly, the process doesn't feel encapsulated.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Customer Service: Good. Technical Support: Good."
"This product has excellent value, and good reward for the purpose."
"From a website editor point of view: Very simple straightforward CMS easy to use"
"No doubt, wordpress.com offers great features from newbies to experts."
"The community is enormous and everyone is very helpful, and other people have problems already solved."
"If you want a website ASAP, that is also search engine friendly, I suggest you download a WP theme and hire a WP developer."
"Wordpress is an excellent multi-purpose platform with a wide variety of uses and features, including an incredibly large theme base, an incredibly large plug-in base, that it is written in PHP and HTML5 which is an incredibly extensible language, that it is easily transitionable from server to server, that it works very well as a CMS, and that it is scalable and customizable."
 

Cons

"As much as it's flexible to use, it is equally hard to use."
"The code behind a WP theme is not easy to modify in case you need additional features not provided by the theme."
"No option to monetize the website (Affiliated links or Advertisements)."
"Not really anything, but the plug-in interface into the system is not object-oriented."
"As website content and number of visits grow, one does recognize scalability issues for websites on shared hosting."
"We are facing issues with outdated plugins and shared hosting security issues, only if WordPress is implemented in dedicated environment it is highly secure."
