More about Serendipity

Serendipity - A reliable, secure & extensible PHP blog

Serendipity is a PHP-powered weblog engine that gives the user an easy way to maintain a blog. While the default package is designed for the casual blogger, Serendipity offers an expandable framework with the power for professional applications.

Serendipity Example

Installation

On most hosters, everything needed to run Serendipity should already be installed. If you install it on your custom server, install PHP >= 7.0, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL or SQLite, and Apache. Imagemagick is also useful. Upload the files from a release archive to your webroot and visit your URL to start the installer.

For more details, please consult the manual.

Features

By default, Serendipity includes:

  1. An editor to write blog entries
  2. Support for trackbacks and pingbacks
  3. A media library to upload images, videos and other files and add them into entries
  4. Integrated anti-spam measures
  5. A collection of themes that can be selected in the backend
  6. A plugin management interface
  7. Categories that can be applied to written blog entries
  8. Groups and user management

Via plugins, additional functionality can easily be added. Some popular plugins add

  1. Support for static pages, transforming Serendipity in a small CMS
  2. Additional anti-spam features
  3. Tags, in addition to categories
  4. Markup languages like Markdown and Textile

Plugins can be added in the backend plugin interface without the need to manually upload files.
