Nice video, thank you for sharing. Would love to see how you set up the search / filter. Anyway of adding custom fields to kadence blocks like post grid?
Thanks! I will make a dedicated video for setting that up. For the custom fields inside post grid block, I never actually tried, normally there is no true support as of now, but there might be a small chance that some parts can let shortcodes through and render them, which would technically mean we could add dynamic content. However, it would be very limited and unpractical. I hope they will tell us more next week during the live stream when we can expect true support for dynamic content for the blocks.
@@danliutikas Gee I don't know, its called being supportive and encouraging to my peers on TH-cam, not that you would understand what that is or means.
Great, as Kadence now incorporated Dynamic Content in its blocks as well. Question: if we don't want a field to show as in your example website, then what to do?
At the time of this reply, Kadence does not support custom taxonomies with ACF yet, only custom fields. So the ones in my example website that are entirely custom fields with values that you input manually when creating a project custom post, those can be fetched by dynamic content feature. But the ones that I just select from the existing list (taxonomies), those cannot be fetched. Kadence has told that this is their first iteration of dynamic content, there will be more updates with deeper integration. For now you can use my solution if needed :)
Nice one. Keep them coming. Could you do a whole tutorial how you did this website? The search the plugin for ACF and best practices for wpml? They advise not to translate the fields...
Thanks, glad you find the content valuable. I actually have a video upcoming where I do a case study for this website I made, some design choices and all that, but I will also soon make a detailed video about how to create this search and filter and some variations there as well as how to create this plugin for ACF. As for WPML I do have experience with it for several years now so I can make a video about that too, especially the part for translating the fields, why not :D
Is there a way to create custom category pages with Kadence for my blog?? I have 3 different categories with 4 subcategories in each... I want to use the categories pages to act as landing pages to navigate to the sub categories
Both taxonomy and custom field can be linked to a custom post type. My rule of thumb not to make a mistake that I need to correct down the road is that when I need database entries for specific field, then I use taxonomy. For fields that I just need to input stuff like text, those will be custom fields. For example, one of those taxonomies for this client was type of glass. I don't want an employee there to enter manually names each time, especially because I need those to be the same each time. If they enter with a typo or not full name then I have a problem filtering and stuff. In the backend, when you have taxonomy in most cases you can do stuff with it the same you can with custom post type. With custom fields, those are temporary values you enter as you go. For this client, the name of the architect is custom field. I'm not going to store every single architect in the database, I have nothing from that. But for the type of glass, I need it in many different situations. Tomorrow whatever they request, I can always call taxonomy and pull predefined values, get how many projects have that taxonomy field etc. It's more natural to use it for that than custom fields. I could technically get away with a custom field having a dropdown with predefined values, even filter according to that, but that's not natural way to do it. There will be a plugin out there, that I desperately need and it won't be able to filter by custom field's dropdown values :) To sum it up, best practices when it comes to the nature of the values I am using :) Hope this helps!
@@mistergeko thank you for you reply. As I'm new to it, I'll take some time and experience to understand your reply but I got the rough idea of what you're trying to convey. Anyway, thank you and looking forward for more such videos.

Thanks. I’ve subscribed. Do you think Kadence will develop more natural and intuitive ways within the theme to incorporate dynamic data into single page templates?
Thanks for subscribing, I will be making lots of tutorials like this! Actually there is a roadmap and dynamic content is up next, they probably almost finished a huge new update regarding that, they said next week they will speak about the upcoming updates and everyone is actually expecting those news to be more natural ways to integrate dynamic data.
@@informph that will truly elevate the theme and all Gutenberg approach currently as page builders main advantage that majority of people need is dynamic content.
Thanks a lot for this. I didn't think it's possible to do it without coding. Just bought Kadence pro its amazing. Can you show us how to do custom posts page? Sub.
What would you like me to show exactly, how to create a custom layout for the custom post type archive page? (the one that I have all projects listed on this website that I have shown in the video)
@@informph ah you mean that custom code I used for more complex outputs for ACF. I'll make another video about it, and I have to start my website too so I can share those stuff easier in a blog post where it's easier to display code etc.
In this case WPML due to many plugins that needed to be used with it. WPML is the most integrated solution. Polylang is also great if free features can be sufficient. Currently, I am not a big fan of TranslatePress. It appears to have easy front end translation, but when it comes to pulling search queries in different languages and filtering by languages in the database, then it scores poorly. With the plugins I was using it would not be able to translate stuff.
@@mistergeko What about speed ? I guess WPML is way slower than TranslatePress. For simple agency website with some services pages full featured solution is unnecessary ? I am interested in speed.
@@pahtashow People confuse the speed here. WPML is the most heavy when it comes to features and how it can grow your database due to string translations where strings are recorded in the database when you scan. What one needs to do is after translating, prune the database from those extra records that you don't use because it scans everything. I follow the best practices and I never have issues with speed and WPML, it never affects my loading times. For me why I like WPML is that it does translation from the back-end, I can translate all taxonomies, custom fields etc and not just what I see on the front-end. That way I can ensure everything that might popup on search or elsewhere is also translated. It's what I call thorough translation. But, for basic sites that don't utilize much than a few normal pages and a contact form, I guess the fast solution might be a way to go. If you use TranslatePress and it works for your use cases, no need to think about WPML. But if you have issues that it cannot do something, you can sleep well knowing that there is always a plugin called WPML that can translate simply anything you would ever need in WP :D
Hi from Istanbul. Thanks.
Thanks for the video and other videos. Can you make a video on the filtering
I have a video about filtering already, it's here: th-cam.com/video/1mxUrKqv_uw/w-d-xo.html Not sure if this is what you were looking for?
Thanks for this i just hope Kadence develop more intuitive ways within the theme.. Subscribed
They will soon, dynamic content coming this month and soon the elements feature will be revamped to be more intuitive for use.

How much does Adam get paid by Kadence to be trolling other videos on Kadence?
