This seems to be the way. Panel beating Grav. Dang. Wish it were more friendly, but still much respect to the development team.

I have used both WordPress and Drupal and they are pretty good. I leaned towards Drupal more, for its flexibility. Grav is superb for my needs. Lightweight, fast, very few requirements, its the best platform to use for what I am doing. However, for all those benefits, there are limitations, and to me, themeing and documentation are a pain. However, it is the best flat file CMS hands down.

I am struggling with themeing.

Explored them previously, and today as part of my research, but would not work for my current situation. Hugo in the future though may be a potential move.

The reason why I picked it was the 2021 award and the previous awards. However themeing has been a pain point for me. Given that my story site is picking up steam, I want to start making it look better and I am still struggling with themeing. Automad themes well, but does not have the plugin/modules I need.

 

Hi,

I've selfhosted Grav for two years going to three, but I want to move on to something else. I am looking for a flatfile CMS. I have experimented a bit and the best I found so far is Automad, but it isn't quite there. What alternatives can you recommend? PHP is where I am leaning.

Thanks.

Edit: Given my unclear query, I have struggled themeing. It has always been a pain and for whatever reason, documenting is somewhat unclear.

 

This is test art work from an upcoming project.

Used to run over 40 drives. Backblaze pointed out those Toshiba's. Man they do not die.

You need to check your error logs. Assuming a Linux setup it would be somewhere around /var/logs/*

One of the best decisions I made, two years later. 💪

I self host a Grav site among other things on a 15 Euro VPS.

Also, I started with Ghost but the fact that they locked up the newsletter side of business to a single provider and were unwilling to rework things at the time made me walk away. Yes, I know you could go code side, and add others, but that was a complicated setup in itself. Grav works perfectly for me.

Been this way for many years. Ads don't bother me. And if its continuous help, then we roll with it. But someday I may do the thing.
