About
Lumora Press—a lightweight, self-hosted PHP blogging platform inspired by the elegance and simplicity of classic WordPress (think 2012–2015 era!). It’s all about writing, publishing, and customizing with classic themes, widgets, and plugins. No block editors, no page builders, no AI bloat—just simple, fast blogging. Since it’s an independent codebase built from scratch (not a fork), it runs super fast and stably on modern PHP and basic shared hosting.
Lumora Press Core that I've been wishing WordPress had without needing a million plugins: virtual folders in the Media Manager (so you can finally organize hundreds of icons, wallpapers, and photos by subject with ease!), direct file importing from FTP and Downloads.
A Coppermine Gallery importer is included as a plugin.
You can see it in action on my following fansites: Xena Central.
