Adam, I just want to say thank you for this video. For more than a year I have been trying the block editor on and off, and left frustrated every time. Finally - an easy to understand tutorial that inspires me to dive in again. I'm also pleased to see that with Kadence Blocks, mobile editing is finally available, this was probably the biggest bugbear in the past for me. I've also tried a number of other block editor plugins, but I must agree - Kadence Blocks simply seems to cater to most of my website building needs. Thank you for the great value that you bring to the table. Much appreciated.
I AM the 100th comment, 3 years ago I picked up Elementor Pro , thx - cya on to the next simpler way of FAST life. no more page builder. HELLO again Gutenberg - my have you grown up!
This was such a relief to find!! Thank you. I'm first time Word Press user creating small simple website and Elementor kept glitching and was generating stress as everything "seemed" to need Elementor. I am So GRATEFUL to find your video. Clear, easy to understand exactly what I am looking for and best yet, I can now start my website development using Word Press! Phew. 👍
Looks promising. I tried the combination for an hour. My experience wasn't as intuitive as I had hoped, but I think that was due to focussing on minute issues. So far, the biggest compaint I have is the Row Layout Block and nesting of additional Row Blocks. I wish there was a more general "Section Block" where you could layer multiple rows more intuitively. But there's no question I agree with your comment re: Gutenberg not going away and that adding a 3rd party page builder only forces you to additional modules. Then there's also 'premium' themes that have their own proprietary settings as well, and before you know it, it's a proverbial mess. I'll definitely have to give it another go though. Conceptually, this model makes alot of sense and I have little doubt there will be a continued shift toward making 3rd party premium Gutenberg block plugins and away from bloated page builders.
I got deep into Elementor Pro and got tired of troubleshooting all the "Server 500 errors." I'm now rebuilding all my pages in Guteyberg and this video helped a lot.
Tried Gutenberg, and it's very promising, Adam. 3 main concerns right now: #1 - Unless I'm missing something, it doesn't have the kind of theme builder that Elementor has with conditions, where you can specify where a block/template should or should not be placed (in which pages, steps, custom post types, etc. #2 - Dynamic Content + CPT is lacking (but I saw your comment down below that they're planning to roll it out). #3 - The editor is very unintuitive. If you place a block (like a paragraph) and forget about it, it's very difficult to see it. Gutenberg editor really needs to have markers and a navigator like Elementor to 1) easily click where you want to click and 2) not end up with empty blocks that you can't see.
I REALLY love my page builder (BB), but understand where this is going and eventually it will be too big to ignore. Normally I'm very loyal to a product, but would love to add this to my portfolio and this video is a great one showing some of the basics. Thanks and you have my thumbs up! What I would really love is some slightly more technical things like different header designs (conditional like BB), different post designs (conditional like BB) and eventually custom post type integration (BB + Pods and Pods Themer Add-On). Also like in this tutorial you are using a demo site from Kadence, which is using those different modules on top of the background image. Also some tutorials how to achieve those small, cool effects from the demo websites.
I despise all ads making normal people feel they can build a website. Then you jump into it and there's so many limits and so many add-ons and things you need, like its an endless marketing loop. I just want to have control over the containers and the rows and the colors! Thank you for your video, it makes me feel hopeful! Now... to try it...
thanks, Adam! you helped guide me in a much better direction with a couple client websites that were junked-up with loads of theme-dependent plugins. IMO, gutenberg and 'block editors' made wordpress kind of goofy the past few years, with plugin conflicts, lack of options, etc. i get the 'novice user' intent for the functionality, but as a 12+ year wordpress user who was used to the 'classic' editor, things are still a little weird. the Kadence stuff adds the options i was looking for in page editing. it's kind of pricey for the pro, but the regular version is really usable and far better than elementor, wpbakery, thimcore and others. thanks again!
Great tutorial. Really confirmed my decision not to use a page builder (I was not sure if I should use DIVI or elementor in addition). I will surely go for the three C's in future. Great concept if you think about it. I would also love to see more in depth videos about the Kadence theme and blocks. Perhaps you could also show some of the features of the PRO versions. Thanks ;-)
What if I already have Kadence, Kadence Blocks and using Elementor - Whats the easiest way to keep the current Elementor website and include one w/out Elementor? Thx
Hi! Adam, Thank you. Pretty new to all this. trying to understand block editor. I want the site to perform the following tasks; 1. inform and showcase the festival 2. collect information from people; a) filmmakers & b) film lovers (audience) 3. sell service; means a) accept entries for the festival b) sell memberships (tickets) Currently, I am building my website which needs integration of SENDINBLUE, GRAVITY FORMS PLUGIN, MEMBERPRESS PLUGIN do they all work well in coordination. Though I started with building it using ELEMENTOR I am going to switch to WordPress blocks after listening to you. what do you suggest?
Thank you Adam, Why is it that whenever I upload Woocommerce first, then a starter site, I end up with two of every shop page. I already had Woocommerce installed and active, I uploaded a Kadence starter site (but it happens with Astra, as well) I now have two cart pages, two checkout pages, two My Account pages, two of the shop pages. I'm not sure which of the two I can delete without destroying the work I already put into the site. It seems the starter importers don't bother checking or don't care about already existing pages. At the very least they should trash an existing page before creating the new one.
Hi Adam. I've been learning a lot from your channel about building sites. I have a couple of questions about some behind the scenes aspects of site building. Do you have any videos or other resources on setting up google analytics, search console, google tags etc.? Specifically which order, or does it matter? Do you prefer monster insights, header footer post injection, or some other tool to handle that stuff? Thanks!!
Thank you Adam for this great hands on tutorial. Is it possible to have an advance one that covers dynamic contents, animation, sliders and so on. Maybe using CSS would would make animation/effects easier.
I learned HTML and CSS as a kid. I'm trying to build my site on wordpress following a tutorial using a theme, it is HIDEOUSLY complicated. It's actually easier and quicker to just build the site with HTML and CSS.
It actually is. Even building e-commerce with code would be easier. I tried to build e-commerce with WooCommerce and Next.js, but the complexity of connecting these things up overwhelmed me. World would be so much better if people didn't want to rely that much on Wordpress, or if it actually never came to existence.
Wow didn't know it would be this easy.. Could you please help us changing bigger existing websites to the gutenberg builder i've got multiple cpt's with custom dynamic fields.. If I know how to work with that I might be able to drop elementor
I agree with much of what you're saying. Over Christmas, I came across a free course from Yoast on building an entire site in Gutenberg. It was really interesting. In the light of the new ranking factors with Google I think we need to be looking at this option seriously.
The WordPress block builder produces html that more optimized, less DOM. In addition to that, Elementor loads a bunch of code libraries that are not needed, making the pages heavier.
One thing I haven’t figured out when using Gutenberg-only is how to display posts with specific criteria. With Elementor templates this is easy but Kadence wants you to setup a single blog page or use a posts widget on a regular page with very limited criteria.
Did you know that with Gutenberg you can do a simple copy/paste across websites? Side note, Kadence is releasing Kadence Cloud in 60 days or so, it allows you to setup your own private cloud of page and section templates. You can push and pull them from all of your websites.
@@WPCrafter Awesome. I did not know Kadence Cloud was in the works, but good to know (hope it's included in my lifetime deal). Also didn't know (or forgot) about the Gutengerg copy/paste across websites. I expect I'll probably set up a "starter site" anyway to spin up for new sites and have it configured like I want. All good to know, though. Thanks.
@@kevinroberts3789 Yes cloud is going to be included for all members, and there will be a price increase/ plans restructuring when it launches, but your lifetime membership gets it all ;-). That was a great deal huh, but it will only get better.
Well, I have some questions, 1. Can we use animations like elementor (appearing animations and scroll animations) 2. How can we work with dynamic content with the Gutenberg ? 3. I think we can achieve core web vitals with a page builder and whole bunch of other plugins with a normal host. (I am in the green area with nearly 10 plugins including elementor with NAMECHEAP hosting ) What is your ideas about this?
1. So many possibilities with Gutenberg with this subject (especially on entrance animations, no idea about scroll animations). There's a plugin called Block Animations that you can combine with any block plugin ot there. Or you can use Getwid or Editorplus instead. Both have built-in animations. 2. You can use Toolset for dynamic content or GenerateBlocks Pro. But I haven't try that and don't have any site that needs specific function for that right now. I just use reusable blocks for building template or use post duplicator. IMO it's also easier for clients to edit visually. 3. Totally agree. I also use a page builder on some occasions. But for most standard sites, I guess Gutenberg is great option to get a fast & good looking site without draining your savings. Just be creative on how to use it.
Just got word that Kadence will be demo'ing their dynamic content next week. You can achieve CWV with any page builder but with varying degrees of effort and complexity.
Last year when you introduced us to Kadence you were including the Envato Elements plugin. Given it’s a year later, is it necessary, or just adding more optional elements? Hanks for the video, it is timely.
Just assuming, since you didn't say it, that I need to activate the gutenberg plugin before adding the kadence blocks? I'm new, sorry if that's an ignorant question :). I also found in importing the ready made Kadence template I didn't notice the little slider bar to override anything I'd already done, LOL so that was fun, but I fixed it. :) Thanks for being so specific and giving us this info for free. I've been watching your videos for 2 years, thank you Adam.
No, you never want to use the Gutenberg plugin. It is natively built into WordPress. When you use the Gutenberg plugin, you are enabling experimental beta features that will break things.
@@WPCraftercan you please ahare a link of the tutorial for making a fully functional good ecommerce website using kadence free theme with the functions like: 1. my account icon+ wishlist icon beside menu & search, cart icon line in header, 2. forced login/signup authentication before checkout wala setting ho sakta hai? 3.

Hi, I have created an eCommerce store using WordPress and ocean wp theme. I am having an issue with it. All the links on my account page are not working. The above URL is correct like if I clicked on edit account then the URL is perfectly fine mydomain / my-account/edit-account/ but the content below is a blog post please tell me any solution
Great Video. I was wondering if you had a video on how to add a membership dashboard with the option to add Dynamic Marketing Pages (Already Created) to say a section of the users back office dashboard where they can find dynamic capture pages, landing pages, and registration pages unique to each members' account, identified by a custom URL generated upon member registration automatically. Do you have a video like this or can you make one? Perhaps you know a good affordable plugin for this?
Thanks for the vid. When styling for the phone why does it chance my other setting for desktop and tablet. Is there a way to have the 3 setting operate independently like Elo mentor.
Hi Adam. Thanks for this great tutorial, you do have a great way on presenting. Wondering if you have a launch date for your pick up & delivery product, or did I miss it? I´m very interested.
Hi I'm using a free WordPress theme for commercial purpose/for a company. Is it legal to remove footer credit and replace it with our own one? I went through their support forum and I found a similar question. They have replied to it as follows " the idea is user should not remove any attribution note to suppoort our hardwork. Unless he purchasses the PRO version"
You said about some local newsletter plugin in your video not too old. I just can't find that part where you said the name of it. Could you please tell me? Local Newsletter plugin instead of convertkit or MailChimp or any other.
This is a great explanation Adam. Thank you. just one question - did you skip the child theme or is it a case that with this process a child theme is not needed?
How does this compare with the new additions of page building in WP Version 5.8? can these be combined? or is one better than another? or possibly one better for certain things and the other better for other types of sites? Would not mind seeing a tutorial like this with the new version 5.8.
Maybe Great for simple sites, but more complex pages with dynamic content and advance functionality...you still need to know at least basics of php, jscrip working with sql and some better buolder, although Guttenberg is becoming stronger and stronger with every update. Biggest upside of Guttenberg is page speed ranking, especially on Mobile devices...nice video though:)
I've looked everywhere and can't find instructions as to how to change a singular page's background color e.g., Contact page only. I can do it on a global level and block level within a page, but I cannot change the color of an entire individual page. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much
Thanks for good videos. I want to ask to you do you have infinite scroll blog post game. So I have to say how to make blog feed page infinite so auto load post on any blog post.
Hey Adam, Ok, I've spent 8 hours, and still am stuck in the same place I've been stuck like 20 plus times over the past year. What am I missing?? I am doing great w Kadence and love it, but then when I go to put in my logo and site title stuff under customize, it never is there when I hit preview from the Edit page button on the same wptoolbar where I get into the theme. I am at a complete loss, and feeling really dumb and frustrated. Seems once I add the theme everything's wonky so I was trying just to use the theme, but have to go back to WP to do the logo and title, etc. SO confused, and have been for a while - it's like there's ONE click box I don't know about?? :) Can you help me please? Graciously thanking you in advance...:)
Unlinking Reusable Blocks Great video, very informative. Thank you. Going to give building a site using this route a go. But I've got a question about the reusable content. Is it possible to 'unlink' the reusable content so that it becomes stand alone? I currently use Elementor and can unlink the global widget. An example may help explain why I need to do this. On my Church site we have a prayer list which appears in several places and is updated weekly - so the prayer list is my reusable content. The updated list is needed in all places where the prayer list appears except the pages which contain the Sunday service . Each Sunday, we post a service and on that service page I insert the prayer list as it stands at the time of the service. In Elementor, I then unlink the Prayer List on the service page so that future changes to the prayer list do not affect the prayer list appearing on a particular service page - the people on the list are the people we were asked to pray for at the time of the service, not the current list which could be 12 months + later. Can I do that with the Kadence reusable content and, if so, how?
Well you don't get the following: - Mobile responsive options (this is HUGE) - Copy/paste styles (this is important when designing layouts) - Globally linked colors (but this may come in 2022) - Useful blocks that are certainly needed for all websites (forms block, advanced heading block, accordion block, tabs block, shape dividers, rows with margin/padding options) I could go on, but you get the idea ;-)
Can we consider this video a series of many other videos? i mean more styling tricks, maybe more blocks(free and PRO) features and how to benefit from them, I can tell that 90% of the people watching this video and smashing the like button- which you deserve- are victims of the other page builders bloats and updates nightmares Kadence is the real deal!
yes specially in the post part, I find myself really limited coming from elementor, elementor had a nice way of styling post, but lets start with the free version of kadence first :D PLEASE!!!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to find your channel. I have yet to search your library of videos but do you have a video where you build from start to finish including all plugins necessary for a fast responsive website? Also, does the pro versions you mentioned allow for fade in/slid in text or images like Elementor? Thanks for the great content! Liked and subscribed!
I already have 48 posts I made with Astrapro and Elementor Pro. Now I am trying to add Ezoic and they are suggesting that I remove these to improve speed, but to change over 48 posts seems like a heck of a lot of work. Will it help my site speed if I change say half of those? And then use Gutenberg going forward? If I deactivate them, does that mean I cannot edit anymore, the ones that are made with Elementor Pro and Astro Pro? This is very confusing. I wish I had known about the speed issue before I listened to the recommendations for Astra pro an Elementor pro

Hi, I have created an eCommerce store using WordPress and ocean wp theme. I am having an issue with it. All the links on my account page are not working. The above URL is correct like if I clicked on edit account then the URL is perfectly fine mydomain / my-account/edit-account/ but the content below is a blog post please tell me any solution
I had to stop the video to laugh of that mini-me on your dask... hahahahaa Amazing!
Are there going to be anymore videos about Kadence Child Theme Builder?
Great Video. I was wondering if you had a video on how to add a membership dashboard with the option to add Dynamic Marketing Pages (Already Created) to say a section of the users back office dashboard where they can find dynamic capture pages, landing pages, and registration pages unique to each members' account, identified by a custom URL generated upon member registration automatically. Do you have a video like this or can you make one? Perhaps you know a good affordable plugin for this?
Thanks for the vid. When styling for the phone why does it chance my other setting for desktop and tablet. Is there a way to have the 3 setting operate independently like Elo mentor.
It works the same as all the other page builders in that you have specific device settings for most things.
Hi Adam. Thanks for this great tutorial, you do have a great way on presenting.
Wondering if you have a launch date for your pick up & delivery product, or did I miss it? I´m very interested.
Very helpful! I thought Sections are the highest level container and ROW fits in the Section.
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks
Hi I'm using a free WordPress theme for commercial purpose/for a company. Is it legal to remove footer credit and replace it with our own one? I went through their support forum and I found a similar question. They have replied to it as follows " the idea is user should not remove any attribution note to suppoort our hardwork. Unless he purchasses the PRO version"
Can I add Amalinks pro or Aawp to this to build an Amazon website or maybe just Amazon links even?
When I add pictures, they is always some white space bellow so can't had shadows to the BOX..any fix for that ?
Very informative and encouraging. Thank you Adam 🙏
You said about some local newsletter plugin in your video not too old. I just can't find that part where you said the name of it. Could you please tell me? Local Newsletter plugin instead of convertkit or MailChimp or any other.
This is a great explanation Adam. Thank you. just one question - did you skip the child theme or is it a case that with this process a child theme is not needed?
It's not as needed these days.
Excellent review...love it.
Thanks. a really good introduction.
How does this compare with the new additions of page building in WP Version 5.8? can these be combined? or is one better than another? or possibly one better for certain things and the other better for other types of sites? Would not mind seeing a tutorial like this with the new version 5.8.
Yes all the enhancements that WordPress is adding will be usable.
Excellent video!! Thanks!!!!🙂
Very clean, thank you!
Maybe Great for simple sites, but more complex pages with dynamic content and advance functionality...you still need to know at least basics of php, jscrip working with sql and some better buolder, although Guttenberg is becoming stronger and stronger with every update. Biggest upside of Guttenberg is page speed ranking, especially on Mobile devices...nice video though:)
@Adam What are your thoughts on Ithemes buying Kadence?
I've looked everywhere and can't find instructions as to how to change a singular page's background color e.g., Contact page only. I can do it on a global level and block level within a page, but I cannot change the color of an entire individual page. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much
Thanks for good videos. I want to ask to you do you have infinite scroll blog post game. So I have to say how to make blog feed page infinite so auto load post on any blog post.
Please upload more videos about wordpress for beginners please it would be great help for us
Excellent !
Thanks a lot.
What key elementor features do you think are missing in Gutenberg?
Nice..thank you very much sir
Good content at a very manageable half hour.
Hey Adam, Ok, I've spent 8 hours, and still am stuck in the same place I've been stuck like 20 plus times over the past year. What am I missing?? I am doing great w Kadence and love it, but then when I go to put in my logo and site title stuff under customize, it never is there when I hit preview from the Edit page button on the same wptoolbar where I get into the theme. I am at a complete loss, and feeling really dumb and frustrated. Seems once I add the theme everything's wonky so I was trying just to use the theme, but have to go back to WP to do the logo and title, etc. SO confused, and have been for a while - it's like there's ONE click box I don't know about?? :) Can you help me please? Graciously thanking you in advance...:)
Who is your host? Are you using some aggressive caching or performance plugin? Those can/will cause things like that.
Mic quality is fantastic in this video, done an upgrade?
Unlinking Reusable Blocks
Great video, very informative. Thank you. Going to give building a site using this route a go. But I've got a question about the reusable content.
Is it possible to 'unlink' the reusable content so that it becomes stand alone? I currently use Elementor and can unlink the global widget. An example may help explain why I need to do this. On my Church site we have a prayer list which appears in several places and is updated weekly - so the prayer list is my reusable content. The updated list is needed in all places where the prayer list appears except the pages which contain the Sunday service . Each Sunday, we post a service and on that service page I insert the prayer list as it stands at the time of the service. In Elementor, I then unlink the Prayer List on the service page so that future changes to the prayer list do not affect the prayer list appearing on a particular service page - the people on the list are the people we were asked to pray for at the time of the service, not the current list which could be 12 months + later. Can I do that with the Kadence reusable content and, if so, how?
There was also an option there that said "convert to normal blocks". You would choose that option to unlink the block.
Unless you need new features the default block editor can do a lot without adding Kadence.
Well you don't get the following:
- Mobile responsive options (this is HUGE)
- Copy/paste styles (this is important when designing layouts)
- Globally linked colors (but this may come in 2022)
- Useful blocks that are certainly needed for all websites (forms block, advanced heading block, accordion block, tabs block, shape dividers, rows with margin/padding options)
I could go on, but you get the idea ;-)
Good one 👍
Amazing
Can we consider this video a series of many other videos? i mean more styling tricks, maybe more blocks(free and PRO) features and how to benefit from them, I can tell that 90% of the people watching this video and smashing the like button- which you deserve- are victims of the other page builders bloats and updates nightmares
Kadence is the real deal!
yes specially in the post part, I find myself really limited coming from elementor, elementor had a nice way of styling post, but lets start with the free version of kadence first :D PLEASE!!!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to find your channel. I have yet to search your library of videos but do you have a video where you build from start to finish including all plugins necessary for a fast responsive website?
Also, does the pro versions you mentioned allow for fade in/slid in text or images like Elementor?
Thanks for the great content! Liked and subscribed!
Working on a "from scratch" video right now. And the free version of Kadence Blocks has those animations :-)
I already have 48 posts I made with Astrapro and Elementor Pro. Now I am trying to add Ezoic and they are suggesting that I remove these to improve speed, but to change over 48 posts seems like a heck of a lot of work. Will it help my site speed if I change say half of those? And then use Gutenberg going forward? If I deactivate them, does that mean I cannot edit anymore, the ones that are made with Elementor Pro and Astro Pro? This is very confusing. I wish I had known about the speed issue before I listened to the recommendations for Astra pro an Elementor pro
So... this means I really need to abandon Elementor and use Gutenberg to build better websites???
Okay, Adam, but what about that copyright signature at the bottom. Can you take it off?
It's just a footer item like any footer item. Go into the footer builder and you will see it.
Thanks again for the tutorial.
B* good mate ! Thanks
Thank you so much 🙏
