For example, [22] created WPBMB, a WordPress plugin, to ensure

Due to the large user base that draws hackers to target websites,
the more popular a CMS is, the more attacks it receives. [32]

Drupal and Joomla. A WordPress plugin is a PHP scripting
software that enables adding a particular set of capabilities to a
WordPress website. Additionally, it enables simple site
modification, customization, and enhancement through the
addition of functionalities rather than by altering the WordPress
core program code [37].
The only system that has maintained attention over time is
WordPress. The explanation for this growth may be the sizeable
online community for WordPress and the availability of online
site-building tools compared to other CMSs. Hard coding may be
essential for some projects, but the COVID-19 Malay Corpus
project has shown that any project can be completed without it with
the correct CMS, plugins, and custom programming. The main
benefit of CMS is that it makes it simple to manage, change, and
enhance the website's content.

We anticipate disinformation websites may be more likely to use a
free CMS than news websites. Use CMS plugins for social media
integration and SEO since disinformation websites are aggressive
about content virality and more likely to use a customized version
of a stock CMS theme rather than designing a new theme
themselves. For instance, the disinformation website
freeinfomedia.com utilizes the affordable mts-best theme, the free
WordPress CMS, and the Facebook-comments plugin [26].
