For
the last 10 years since the introduction of WordPress, this CMS
platform has been gaining all the more popularity as well as importance.
In fact, as per the experts who are regularly dealing with WordPress,
its future looks extremely promising in spite of the challenges that lie
ahead. When it comes to discussing the future development of WordPress,
it is likely to mainly focus on the following two areas – Refatoring
and Usability.
Refatoring
That
WordPress comes up with a too many codes does not need to be mentioned.
However, a considerable proportion of the codes are not optimal. This
goes particularly true for the codes that are original. Hence, this
needs to be improved and it is likely that the future generations of
WordPress will come up with considerable improvement, and thus get rid
of this limitation. Truly, the future generations of WP will come up
with a lot of value added features – scope of rewriting admin interface
in Jscript along with improved as well as enhanced legacy elements.
Also, the backwards compatibility issue is going to enjoy a considerable
extent of attention from the developers.
Usability
Developers
have put more emphasis on usability than on features while developing
the version 3.6 of WP. Traditionally, WordPress has got a lot of hidden
power and surprisingly, much of that power was hitherto left unused.
That has been somewhat rectified in the new version. Also, the fact that
the next generation WPs are likely to come up with new features will
make them more user-friendly from the end-users’ point of view. Also,
while the language has already been simple, it is likely to get even
simpler for the users with lesser technical prowess.
Let us look into the other aspects of the future of WP.
Blogging
Blogging
is the core functionality of WordPress. This is mainly because WP is
simple, fantastic and most importantly, extremely easy to use. Hence it
allows everyone to share their thoughts as well as their view points,
ideas and experiences with others. As the future generation WPs are
likely to come up with more value added features and in a much simpler
form, blogging will get easier and more acceptable to people, even those
without any technical expertise whatsoever.
Mobile
It
is going to get more mobile. Internet can be accessed now with
virtually all types of mobile devices and this, undoubtedly, is going to
change WordPress, by making it more mobile. It is likely to go on
changing, and adapting to the way people will access and use it,
especially through mobile devices and this is a significant change that
WordPress is going to see in the future.
Identity
WordPress
has always suffered from a kind of identity crisis ever since it was
introduced some 10 years back. Though it gained a huge amount of
popularity over these 10 years, and people accepted it as the best and
the most user-friendly blogging tool, one very basic question that has
plagued the end users as well as the developers is – what actually CMS
is? While according to one school of thought, it is a blogging software
platform, for others it is a comprehensive CMS or Content Management
System. Again, another group of people calls it a framework that can be
used for blogging. Thus, in future, WP is likely to get a profound
identity that will only underline its existence and importance.
Since
WP after all, is extremely powerful as well as extendable, its future
prospects depend upon how it manages to retain its simplicity, stay as a
beautiful software that helps people to share thoughts with others and
socialize in a different way.
This is another aspect that is going to determine the future prospect of WordPress application development.
Each and every software platform has to encounter various types of
attacks as well as challenges from various quarters and WP is no
exception. Thus, the security aspects need to be strengthened by a
considerable extent if it is to prosper as a reliable CMS platform in
the future. Considering the amount of work that is going on for
enhancing the security aspect, the future of WordPress looks
considerably promising.
