Having trouble deciding which blogging software you want to use? Take a look this to learn more about WordPress vs B2Evolution.

If you are trying to decide between WordPress and b2evolution, it can be nerve wracking. Let’s take a look at what each one has to offer to help you make your decision.

WordPress vs. B2Evolution

WordPress and B2Evolution are both open source content management systems (CMS) that allow users to create blogs. WordPress can even be manipulated to create full fledged websites that don't appear to look like a blog. WordPress has a wide variety of both free and premium themes and plugins to help users create a completely custom experience. It is very easy for someone with little experience in web design to create a stylish, professional, website.

B2Evolution also has plugins and themes, but there are not as many available to choose from. While B2Evolution is also very simple to use, it doesn't offer the same level of customization as WordPress.WordPress allows for pages to be made in addition to the posts, providing an element of flexibility you won't find in B2Evolution.

Both systems allow for users sign ups, along with complete control of what the users can and cannot do when they are logged into the system. This is an excellent feature for those who want to make community sites.

One of the largest differences between WordPress and B2Evolution is the security. WordPress has been known for security flaws, while B2Evolution is able to provide customizations without inhibiting the security of the site and its contents.

Making the Choice

While many people use B2Evolution and remain loyal to it, WordPress is the more popular choice, prehaps because of the availabity of free themes and plugins. We suggest you try both systems on your domain before making a decision to see what you think will work best for you, your knowledge and experience, and your specific website purpose.

B2evolution limitations
I've been using B2evolution for alost a year. My main complaints:

slow development
limited selection of templates
complete customization is difficult.

I really love the software, I just wish they could expand the awareness and development.
