Difference between Joomla and WordPress:
To edit the themes in a things editor including editing each element of the theme add child themes templates modify the CSS if required Joomla doesn't have a template directory however a quick google search gives over 16 million results not all them are templates of course and therefore it's impossible to know exactly developed by third party developers many of them are free security and maintenance being the most high-profile open-source software project WordPress has been a natural target for ongoing security exploits ever since it arrived on the scene however WordPress tries it spastic correspond to any security vulnerability very quickly besides WordPress also has an auto update mechanism which allows WordPress websites to automatically update but there is a new security patch Joomla is very similar to WordPress when it comes to security they actively respond to anysecurity vulnerability and are very quick to bat it up however maintaining a website and installing updates is still up to the user there are extensions available to back up your Joomla website upgrading to the major version generally when it comes to upgrading WordPress has a reliable 1 click upgrade path and therefore is much clearer rotated by users third tamer upgrade process has been
