Support for Four Content Management Systems (CMS)
CMS Commander is the only product of its kind that supports more than a single CMS: WordPress weblogs, Drupal and Joomla websites as well as phpBB forums can all be added to the same account and remotely managed together in any number.
- WordPress is first with all features outlined below working fine for your weblogs and having been tested during a long beta phase.
- Integration of Joomla, Drupal and phpBB is still in Beta, with only certain CMS versions and features supported. Because of this those CMS can still be added for free and don’t count towards any account limits.
