What does Typesetter need to run?

Its README states PHP 5.6 or later and no database, since it stores content in flat files. Compatibility with current PHP versions is not documented, so test before relying on it for a live site.

How do I install Typesetter on cPanel?

Open cPanel, use the Softaculous one-click installer, select Typesetter, choose your domain and admin details, and install. It normally takes a few clicks and no manual file upload.

Does Typesetter need a MySQL database?

No. Typesetter uses flat-file storage instead of a database, according to its repository description. That keeps setup simple, though the project's age means you should keep regular file backups and monitor for security issues.

Is Typesetter free to use?

Yes. Typesetter is open-source software released under the GPL (version not verified) licence, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.

Can I install other applications on the same plan as Typesetter?

Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run Typesetter alongside other apps in its category (Portal / CMS), such as Joomla and Open Real Estate, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.

Which Hostripples plan should I choose for Typesetter?

Typesetter is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.

Do you migrate my existing Typesetter site for free?

Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.

Q: Is Typesetter still maintained?

The latest release on its GitHub releases page is 5.1 from August 2019, and the original project website typesettercms.com is offline. We treat it as unmaintained; use an actively maintained CMS for new projects.

What is Typesetter?

Typesetter is an open-source content management system written in PHP that stores content in flat files, so no database is needed. It focuses on ease of use with true WYSIWYG editing, where pages are edited as visitors see them. Its latest release is old and its original project website is no longer online.

How to install Typesetter on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, Typesetter is live

Project status: The latest release listed on the project's GitHub releases page is version 5.1 from August 2019 (Softaculous lists August 2017), and the original project website typesettercms.com is offline. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

Licence: GPL (version not verified) · Built with: PHP (flat-file) · Official site: github.com/Typesetter/Typesetter

Common uses

Maintaining an existing Typesetter site

Typesetter requirements

PHP: PHP 5.6 or later, as stated in the repository README
