@phenomlab said in move out from flarum to wordpress:
Madrid Protocol
I am not going to use this theme or distribute it. it is an abandoned project (when there was no dev available to build flarum extensions for us we had to work on an alternative WordPress theme - features like guest posting, SEO changes are still big issues with flarum)
I am aware of this Madrid Protocol. they have opted for rights in their country only. (it was an a individual request exclusively valid for their own country)
https://branddb.wipo.int/branddb/en/
usually site design will not have TM or IP (as far i am aware of)

I’m not sure that their trademark extend to the site design, but it might be worth checking.
exactly
and i am not going to use this replica
if we have to go for WordPress or react we will opt for commento.io or something else.i promise this will not go into the web. i will continue to love flarum
@Hari sounds good. Personally, I can’t use Flarum because of its fundamental lack of GDPR controls and the fact that they are using implied consent for everything.

//update
still, there is a lot to do, what he has done is so far good enough for a forum. it’s swift fast. 🥳

@Hari all fine with me. Was just pointing it out. Most trademarks incidentally are just in the country where they are issued as you’ve pointed out (you’d need to won’t in each country you want it registered). I just know that Flarum in the past has come down quite hard on those who have directly copied their layout or used their logo without permission, so this is likely covered under intellectual property, which can be almost global (90 plus countries) to my knowledge if you leverage the Madrid Protocol - although I don’t think that extends to India. The logo of course is fine as you are not using it, but the layout is almost identical. I’m not sure that their trademark extend to the site design, but it might be worth checking.
I completely understand why you want it to look like Flarum because of the users being familiar with that layout and it makes absolute sense not to deviate to much away from what they are accustomed to - just be careful.
@phenomlab flarum didnt invented its looks open source community did like Discourse and NodeBB
I Love GPL…

@sinanisler I love GPL too. The logo and brand is protected by a trademark, but as you mentioned, the look and colour scheme isn’t.
Can’t say I’m a fan of the layout, which is why I always changed it

@Hari I did mention this to @sinanisler a while back. Seems he has a very high resolution in his mobile device which is why it looks fine on his.

Yes, I certainly hear you there.
The layout looks much better on my device now.

Font sizes and profile pic size need to be bit small … Alright everyone has their own taste
. Everything works perfect now. -
@Hari I know you are in the ‘love’ phase of wordpress, but from my 15 years experience hosting on and off WP sites for personal and business use, you WILL have problems. WP is plugin hell land. Plugins are mostly low quality and don’t work well with each other. It’s easy to add ‘just this one plugin’ and later realize you have an unmaintanable monster.
When you update WP, problems arise. Then it’s time to hire someone to fix them. Unfortunately, you will want to spend as little as possible, as we all do. Then upwork offers some really affordable freelancers… who barely know what they are doing or care about it.
IMHO, reconsider going to WP. Static sites, as you seem to like, will save you headaches in the future if you can live with the limitations (it seems you can; you have found comment software that would work for you and that you could self host).

@qwinter I can’t agree with this more if I tried. All the points here are salient and resound perfectly with me as I’ve been in the same boat over the years. I’ve also seen my fair share of poorly designed WordPress sites that are so slow, you could actually get out and walk faster, or even draw the site on paper quicker yourself
Whilst I’ll always love WordPress for it’s simplicity and extensibility, it is the ultimate Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde product and hard to achieve a balance between performance and security.
And BuddyPress? Don’t get me started. That project should never have been allowed to continue and should have been banned from the WordPress ecosystem.

@qwinter i have 10+ years experience in managing wp sites. Anything from managing or devlopment or speed is a cake walk in wordpress.
Try CF APO you will change your opinion.
Hosting wordpress in vps is much more better than managing discourse or flarum with SSH
At this moment my top most priority is SEO first
As far i can see if we need any SEO changes in flarum it would cost anywhere from 200 to 500 USD. Few changes are not at all possible in flarum.
I wish you all the best, if you have time money patience be the part of building great communities.
If you need success and want to witness growth use wordpress or nodebb
I can challenge anyone… with the same page title i can bring any wordpress site on top in the search results. (I mean we can host two different websites and see which will rank top wp vs flarum)
. When you want to beat your competitors you should take every advantage of SEO to get top rankings. -

@sinanisler this is a good point (and meme
). WordPress isn’t simply “bad” but it’s made that way with poorly written plugins and cheap / bad hosting.
