Classicpress is a piece of shit
I just tried to set up a Classicpress site for the first time, after being a lifelone Wordpress user. I abandoned Wordpress due to the ongoing drama with WPEngine and Auttomattic company.
The installation is such a "classic" experience! (In a bad way). Dozens of "table does not exist" errors followed by "Success! ClassicPress has been installed. Consider making a donation to support ClassicPress, please. Thank you, and enjoy!" 😒 Of course, it's totally broken.
For the record, my database user is set up correctly, and the password is entered into classicpress correctly. It just sucks.
