Hi,

I asked ChantGPT : is there any forks of wordpress.  It responded:

===
Yes, there are several forks of WordPress! A "fork" in software terms 
refers to a version of the codebase that has been modified and developed 
independently from the original project. These forks can differ in 
functionality, features, or target audience. Here are some notable forks 
of WordPress:

     ClassicPress – This is a popular fork of WordPress, created as a 
response to the Gutenberg block editor introduced in WordPress 5.0. 
ClassicPress aims to provide a more traditional content management 
experience, focusing on simplicity and stability without the block 
editor.

     WP-Forge – This is a developer-focused fork that removes some of 
WordPress's default features in favor of providing a cleaner, more 
customizable codebase. It’s more useful for developers looking to build 
custom themes or plugins.

     Baker – Aimed at simplifying WordPress and providing a smoother user 
experience, Baker is designed to be a lightweight and fast alternative 
to the traditional WordPress setup.

     Genesis Framework (although not a full fork, it's often considered a 
significant modification of WordPress) – This is a premium theme 
framework built on top of WordPress. While it's not technically a fork, 
it allows users to build highly optimized websites and is commonly used 
by developers who want more control over themes.

     SiteOrigin – While not a strict fork, this is a popular set of 
plugins that modify WordPress’s default behavior and are often used as 
an alternative to default WordPress features.

WordPress has some good features, however it has become one size fits 
all/too feature rich.

I did a quick search of the downloads and it seems that the WP version 
prior to gutenberg, version 4.9.26 has a release as of June 24, 2024, 
which makes me think this branch is maintained.  Not sure why.

This seems like, at lease for me this would be the version to start 
using... I do not think I am up to a fork, however I sure would support 
a WordPress version that does not incorporate gutenberg.

I know this is not exactly the right place to post about WordPress, 
however AZPHP has moved to Facebook (years ago) so it is difficult to 
post to Facebook.  I rarely visit Facebook.

Any thoughts?
