Perhaps a headless solution for the new stuff? I've enjoyed setting up nextjs+contentful in general for headless applications that require content. I guess you could setup wp also to use any headless and then slowly phase out.

My site utilizing this (inc. blog) is open source (in gh): https://jakke.fi/blog

Not joking at all (and okay if you think it’s a bad idea) but migrating to MODX Revolution CMS is really not too hard from WP.

I have some suggestions in my free online book about blogging. See below link to it.

Hey Brad! 👋🏻 I went from WP to Eleventy years ago and don't regret the switch. I have so much more power in what I want and can do with it than I did with WP. I am looking at Astro as well for some other stuff. Good luck and good to see you here!

I don't doubt you don't regret it! It's largely an "I don't have the time or will to do this anytime soon" kinda thing.

I hear you. I'm slowly doing a re-design of mine myself and between all the life stuff, I have very little time and some days, very little energy.
