I was going to use until I see new versions at $12 now, I won't waste my time.

PHP-Nuke needs to be removed from this site! It is no longer open source and cost users $10 just to get a downloaded copy of it!

DELETE THIS ENTRY!!!!

PHP-Nuke 7.7 - 8.1 is horrible, full of security holes and bugs totally worthless

PHP-Nuke 7.6 is good and stable i recommend ravennuke which uses nuke 7.6

Open source? ... having to pay to change things doesnt make something open source... it makes it proprietory software... not to mention its not a very good cms... and generally should be physically destroyed.

I paid 100 bucks for one year membership and couldn't install it at all, I understand it may be difficult to provide tech support, but for 100 hundred he better do it. At the end got no answer, no support, clearly stated, no refund(really didn't ask for it), and not php-nuke installed at all, finally moved to mambo CMS and then to Joomla, the greatest CMS even happened, if you really like php-nuke, However seems like it's going to work this time, because PHP-Nuke now have New Owners, chris karakas and claudio erba, both are well know programmers with great reputation and consider high profile techies. So We all should give them a chance to change trashed php-nuke image(basically because of security holes and poor coding structure). it deserved it as a pioneer of the CMS's. Keep tuned for 9.0 version to be release pretty soon, and for just 12 bucks with support it's a steal.

one of the best forks for phpnuke is Ravennuke, which is based on phpnuke 7.6 and has all security patches as well as enhanced code. My 2 cents.

PHP-Nuke is quite possibly the worst choice you could possibly make in choosing a CMS. Although it carries a GPL licence, the author doesn't have an open development process and he doesn't accept any input. It is completely riddled with bugs and it is notorious for security problems. With each new release comes additional new bugs, which are completely ignored. This is the reason that it has had so many forks of the code.

i use phpnuke in my site since 2003 but php nuke is very complex interface to other new cms.i want to change my cms.Do you know how to easy integrate my phpnuke to new cms.

Being new to the CMS scene, I installed php-nuke because I could add a module called 'Club' to it. Although they provide no tech support for it, they charge $10 for the Club module. I purchased anyway, thinking that it would work as good as php-nuke does (actually, despite it's security issues, I liked php-nuke). Well, as you may have guessed, the Club module did not work for me (and without tech support, I have no one to b*tch to). I lost $10, so I'm moving on to another CMS.

PHP-NUKE was in the right way... until... Not 'really free' anymore. Sad... And its 'Open-source'???... Looks a bit like 'Pay-source'...

Please don't install PHP-Nuke because its to buggy , slow loading times and has a sh!t load of security issues... Been there Done that!

Please, PLEASE do not start a new site based on this software. I have used this software for over 6 years and it requires SERIOUS dedication to keep up to date on security problems in the code. I had, unfortunatly, upgraded a working 7.6 install to 7.8 to take advantage of some of the advertising module improvements. Well, that was a can of worms. Even with current chatserv patches & nuke sentinel my site was broken into and great chunks of my database deleted, and after 6 years on the software one collects quite alot of content into the DB. Thank goodness for backups. The support from the non-official community is quite good, nukecops is very usefull and helpful. The author of phpnuke should really pay attention to them and fix his spagetti code. The break-in was a great motivation to finally ditch phpnuke, moving to Joomla. To current PHPNuke users, I am perfectly willing to help users off of the package. I was able to copy user & story items into Joomla with relative ease (by relative, I mean it only took me about a day to get it working properly).

Please do not use this CMS. It has become a commercial monstracity.

If you are going to use PHP-Nuke, do not install above version 7.6. Higher versions have too many security holes. As a matter of fact, I'm not recommending using the original distributions because they are worthless in terms of security, speed and/or efficiency.

PHP-Nuke is very nice CMS,I like it because there have many its themes
