The good news is about WordPress is that it’s easy to use, easy to learn, and easy to customize. The bad news is about WordPress is that it’s easy to use, easy to learn, and easy to customize. This is bad news because anybody who thinks they know anything about design, development, or WordPress can jump in and start hacking code. The end result is a hacked WordPress website that is slow, buggy, and doesn’t work consistently. Then, when you try to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem, it’s a series of dead ends and spaghetti code. It feels like you are trying to untangle a bunch of knots in an extension cord in the dark.

Hacking a WordPress website is definitely quick gain but it will cost you down the road.
