WordPress or Drupal: Which CMS Should Your Association Use to integrate with CiviCRM for Your Website and Member Portal?

4 years 7 months ago

In today’s day and age, most people whose work overlaps with website design or development are likely familiar with Wordpress. But does Wordpress’s ubiquity make it the best choice?

Searching Payments in Civi

In the deep dark past, when CiviCRM was first written, it was assumed that one ‘Order’ (Contribution) could only have one payment. How wrong that was! However, it’s an assumption that plagues us to this day, despite much work having been done to remedy it.
