ClassicPress

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

ClassicPress is the community-led, business-focused fork of WordPress. It keeps the familiar, stable content management experience that millions of sites rely on and stays fully compatible with the WordPress plugin and theme ecosystem, so you get a lean, predictable CMS without giving up the tools you already know. This image delivers ClassicPress fully installed, configured, and security hardened, so you have a working content platform running within minutes of launch instead of spending hours assembling a web server, database, and PHP runtime yourself.

With a standard ClassicPress deployment you must install Apache, MySQL, PHP and its extensions, download and place the application, create a database and user, run the installer, and then harden the credentials. This image completes all of that for you before first boot. Compared with a plain community image, this listing includes 24/7 expert support from cloudimg covering deployment guidance, plugin and theme setup, upgrades, performance tuning, and database administration.

Application stack: ClassicPress 2.7 on Apache 2.4, PHP 8.3 with the extensions ClassicPress needs, MySQL 8.0, and WP-CLI for command line administration. The install is completed headlessly, so the public install wizard is never exposed. The database lives on one dedicated, independently resizable data disk and the application code on a second, so you can scale storage without replacing the instance.

On the first boot of your instance, a one shot service generates a fresh MySQL password, a fresh application database password, and a fresh ClassicPress administrator password unique to that instance and writes them to a root only file, so no shared or default passwords ship in the image. Browse to the instance address and sign in to manage pages, posts, menus, media, users, plugins, and themes. ClassicPress serves on whatever hostname or IP address you reach it on, so it works on your instance public address or a custom domain with no reconfiguration.
