I prefer ACSS for the breadth of features - color relationships, auto calc wrapping, and other stuff. CF is a great option and has a lot to love about it. Are you trying to make a choice on which to get?

glad to hear it!

good question because i think they use SPA - I recall reading they have pre-rendering in place specifically for SEO bots so they are delivered the full page with the apis rendered. I have not dug into it more, but if you search their public forums, there is some more info

It's never as fast as anyone wants it, which is at least partly due to the absolute behemoth size of the project and the commitment to protecting backwards compatibility. Things are moving forward and I'm starting to see the vision a little more. Those tools have a single interface, whereas WP has, what 15k+ themes and 50k+ plugins? The doubled edged sword of very open but intimately more convoluted.

Yes definitely. Really like the block variations included, so people get a feel for them. I am definitely bullish on FSE (not only because its what we have!). I need to revisit your FSE Pinegrow course and see what I can add to my custom block theme from Pinegrow (if anything!).

Yes, thanks. That is just how the affiliate links is rendered by youtube, I think it doesnt like additional URL params. Thanks for watching.

Hey Markus - good to see you, hope you enjoyed WCUS

Thanks for watching buddy

thanks for gassin' me up homie

I had to filter my comments weirdly in youtube for your comment to even show up - very weird? I haven't heard of No Code Backend, not seeing it on Appsumo? Sounds like Xano or Supabase - I would say not that useful for your average Bricks user honestly.

@@BrendanOConnellWP Thanks, yeah, it's in the new arrivals section but had to scroll down, and somebody did compare it with Xano, and I think the algoridm has gone a bit crazy lately,

@@BrendanOConnellWP Thanks, see if this message lasts, ha ha....

@@BrendanOConnellWP I must be flagged or something, thanks for the reply...

I see the product now. I wouldn't recommend it for you, stick with the WordPress database until you can outgrow that. This is a tool if you don't have a backend or are building custom apps/highly custom enterprise WordPress, and even then, Xano or Supabase will probably be more affordable/stable longer term than an appsumo product. that said, I may buy it to test!

Hard to say. Is it not exporting the required JS? Check JS defer/delay/min. how/where are you deploying it? Also write to Simply Static support, they can maybe help!

@bztwwc4690 not sure, I ran into a few snags myself that I mentioned in the video, including: ssl, using ngnix instead of apache, and the .local domain extension not working. One or more of those may help you?

​@@BrendanOConnellWP Which one please, do you have a telegram or what's app?

Hmm not sure I quite understand?

4:00 , the sidebar is still showing, although you’re editing. Normally while gutenberg is open, it’s like you’re on its own page.

@@matthijsalting7514 Ah i think I just enabled in gutenberg. when you're in the block editor, open the settings panel and there is a toggle to 'keep side bar open'

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! Anything you want to see in particular?

@@BrendanOConnellWPVue Designer

@@stewtech hmm, I don't own vue designer so that'll be tough

@@BrendanOConnellWPcould you do a video on Pinegrow exporting options such as: Static HTML Export, WordPress Theme Export, Export with CMS Compatibility, Code Export, Assets Management: Description: When exporting, you can choose to include or exclude certain assets (like images, fonts, and scripts) based on your needs, and Custom Export Settings?

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Are you using pinegrow? Are you trying to make Custom Blocks?

@@BrendanOConnellWP I'm learning. @AdamSLowe 's tutorials have helped me a lot. I'm now reading the Pinegrow documentation. I am new to WordPress and have basic knowledge of html and css.

ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)

I definitely could, and likely will use it as a theme on a couple low-risk sites. It's production ready, but not sure I am with it. Otherwise you can use it to make some custom blocks that you 'own' so to speak, but 3rd party block libraries/themes will have so much heavy lifting done for you with respect to stuff like interactive elements. Maybe I'm just overwhelmed by JS. Bricks is much faster and straight forward to use for most anything I want to do. Pinegrow is certainly a powerful and useful tool and much faster than hand coding sets of react/php blocks. LMK if you want to give it a whirl, i'm sure their team would love more people trying it.

Thanks for the nice words my friend, enjoy

Agreed! Underrated tool for sure! Thanks for watching.

Cheers!

Pinegrow, tailwind, or both? 😂

@@BrendanOConnellWP yes. The answer is yes. 😁

@@BrendanOConnellWP Tailwind will now also be hitting the repo via Cwicly. The market is getting more diverse by the second.

That is Advanced Themer's quick-insert feature - very helpful, among many other useful features. advancedthemer.com

Can you give me more info on what you mean exactly?

​@@BrendanOConnellWP lets say i want to do programatic seo with google sheet records to create a product reviews like url, content within parts like (product description, how can it help , who can benefit from product, pros and cons ,how to use . product specification) and finally summary and FAQs

@@codemasterdevops OK, yes I can try something like that like. I do that for Service area pages, category pages, and singles of each with Bricks templates, so you can import say 200 cities and all 50 states and have it build out using one template and then rendering dynamic data per city name, info per city, etc. You can sell this to clients for sure, and you can set up monthly packages where you add X number of cities, in this example. i'll try and put something together without making it super long

Thank you very much looking forward for this video.I am struggling with this and it would be a great help for me .

I will try and do something on that soon. You can use the loop feature in activepieces to accomplish this, where it will import many records at once using the loop and create post option (and you can delete them the same way)

@@BrendanOConnellWP thankyou for your kind reply sir, but the loop is fetching only the latest available row even when we add get multiple rows option of GoogleSheets, which is fetching multiple rows but the loop is using the last row only , if possible help with tutorial

Areeee broo, am too stuck with the same problem, when am Adding the Get Next Row(s) it gets all the desired row but the same time the Loop on items uses only the last row of google sheets and that's why the loop runs only once, also there's a little confusion for API call where the data should now be send to API from Loop on Items instead of your trigger

Thanks brother, love to hear that! I have a few other ones on Activepieces - powerful stuff. I will be making more hopefully. What other topics should I cover or try and automate?

@@BrendanOConnellWP I have a woocommerce store for a client and we need to add a birthday discount automatically, I'm sure there is a simple way to do it rather than buy fluentCRM for just one task. Maybe a snippet to match the birthday field with the date and add user role for a week then remove it. I have a user rule discount. what is the best way to do it ?

how is the birthdate field added? with acf? most of the fields can be updated with activepieces except the regular price in woo. Not sure why, just how they built it. You need an application password, but then you can do a get request to see all the customers and all their fields, so once you have their birthdays you can query them based on the customer name, and then PUT the data into their custom field for bday. I am not sure if this is what you're asking exactly though?

@@BrendanOConnellWP I'm looking for a way to send birthday emails with discount coupons to woocommerce customers automatically , or just give them birthday discount, or store credit for the birthday. I can collect birth date with custom field. Most of CRMs require the paid version , I'm looking for a free tool a automate task this task. any tools no problem.

there are a few tools that will essentially copy all the divs and content into bricks (structeezy, and i can't recall the other..nimbufy?) here is a link forum.bricksbuilder.io/t/coverting-sites-to-bricks-with-these-tools/17676 - basically you probably want to do it from scratch to 1) learn bricks and b) strip out all the unnecessary divs that other builders like divi will add. let me know if you have other questions - we moved over loads of site to bricks from divi.

Also, if you are rebuilding stuff on live/staging sites you can try searching for 'bye bye divi' which is a plugin to strip out all those divs (but it will break the design as well)

Great choice. It was such a game changer for me and our agency. Let me know if you have questions.

I'll revisit this at some point. Toddle can make full websites, single page apps, mobile apps, components, basically anything. No idea of the actual web page parts like SEO though

Yes the ACF text fields will strip out any html like links or headings/lists, etc. What is the data stored in? Some spreadsheets don't accept markup or html? Could try airtable. Can you try a wysiwyg field in acf instead of text field and try import again?

Fantastic! Hope it goes smoothly. I don't love the UI Bricks has for the actual var picker in the builder but it works fine.

@@BrendanOConnellWP yeah me too, but I don't have a choice at the moment. I am only using vanilla bricks and the free coreframework.

No Advanced Themer doesn't slow down my site. There were some bricks lag issues prior to 1.9.9 but i'ts more or less fixed it.

Thanks Rob! The full linked URL doesnt work in youtube, i think you have to copy and paste the url parameter. Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks!

Glad you liked!

That's great to hear, thanks! Let us know how your project goes.

@workworksam are you using apache or ngnix? I think it has to be apache

@@BrendanOConnellWP Apache, CPanel and normal settings for WordPress server

@@BrendanOConnellWP Apache, CPanel and normal settings for WordPress server

@@workworksam what do error logs say when it crashes? or can you inspect and see errors? i've never had it crash a site, but have had it fail to export, but not in a while now

I did use it, but not sure it was really that prevalent (might have used it to copy or clone a class here and there, can't remember.) and I use it all the time for the auto suggestion and auto complete on input fields and, most importantly the css field. this is where the time savings really start to add up. Each AT feature really does start ticking up with time savings and efficiency each time you use it. It is also hard for me to remember what ISNT in AT - that is, I use Bricks with AT every time, so it feels second nature.

sure you can automate that. Is the update you need to make the same for each post (in the same location in the editor?) cuz that would make it easier to loop over

it should be able to pull in any data that can be fed in via JSON, so arrays should work as well. I havent had a chance to mess around with it much yet. Let me know if you end up trying it. I suspect it should work fine.

@@BrendanOConnellWP will do. I may be trying out WP Get API plugin. Most likely I will be contacting them to see if their plugin can do it. I’m a ways away from actually doing it… I’m building the host site I want to pull from. So if I need to change the architecture of the host site, now is the time to know / change it.

@@JohnChvatalGSTV Let me know what you think of WPGETAPI. It's been on my mind to try it.

@@BrendanOConnellWP have not tried it yet. I am going down the RSS feed rabbit hole now. I prefer this route since it can be used by anyone. Even low tech people. If I cannot do what I need with RSS feeds, I will go down the WP Get API plugin route.

i hadnt really planned one. What else should be added do you think?

are you using activepieces? do you have an action in google sheets to create a new row? you shouldn't need to duplicate that

i'm not sure, but it's got even better since I made that video over 2 years ago! They have free templates now I think. I don't really use it as I have Bricksextras but seems to be cool.
