@davidbisset Is #Wordpress really a CMS? (Serious question) You can manage content on it but still sees more like a blogging platform, especially when comparing to other CMSs.

@outofcontrol I would say yes, considering what i've built with it.

I've seen what others call "true CMS" and to me it's just different takes with different user and/or developer experiences, birthed or evolved.

@davidbisset I suppose with ACF plugin and others one can get to a CMS type of setup? Are there other or different plugins that help get to this point?

@outofcontrol It really depends what "CMS" and "point" mean to you. You mention ACF so you i'm guessing thinking that certain UI controls and metadata play a part in that (I agree although WP had a rougher UI and ACF enhanced that greatly). So https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/ would likely be up your ally.

@davidbisset Thanks David, I’ve never heard of this plugin before, I will check it out once back at my desk.
