Thank you very much Adam. You continue to provide the WordPress community with easy to understand, timely information that we can use to continue to make progress and improve our WordPress skill set.
@@AlFirous We need Wordpress to do these things natively without a page builder plugin, this will push page builders to be more creative and offer more features and fastens the pace of their feature updates since I noticed they slowed down the last years.
Looks like some really great changes for the WordPress platform. I particularly like the upgrades they've made with the block builder. In many cases this can eliminate the need to use a page builder - especially since many of those tend to slow down your site.
I am installing the beta in a local host to test Kadence, the block editor and the Kadence blocks. Thank you for all the great videos Adam, they all helped me a lot.
Thank you Adam, another quality video and no doubt this will enable a lot of newbies to get something visually credible up, without the costs of other page builders.
Wordpress 5.5 is exciting but learning about Kadence and Kadence Blocks is even more exciting. Thanks again for leading me into he future :-) And I just found out that Kadence Blocks does not require the Kadence Theme. Another plus! Bill (Edit: Fixed a typo)
Well my questions were answered in the comments, so I just have two things: 1) My gaze kept wandering to the bobble head & I kept thinking, "That HAS to be Dr. Evil!" Very cool. 2) Is that a programmable keyboard to the left of your main keyboard? If so, what make & model? I have an X-keys XK-80 on my desk. Everyone should have a programmable keyboard, they are phenomenal time-savers!
Haha. Yes Dr Evil and he was featured in the final seconds of the video. And it’s a Streamdeck, it’s better then an X-Keys. I have both. Yes truly a lifesaver.
@@WPCrafter - Ahhhh, that's what I was hoping. I'm glad you like it. I love my X-keys keyboard, but messing with labels is a real pain. The Stream Deck's LCD keys seem absolutely perfect. I forsee a Stream Deck XL in my immediate future! How is the programming? Is it comparable to or better than X-keys MacroWorks?
@@johncarterofmars5372 No comparison, it's so much easier with the Streamdeck. I started with the normal one and later bought the big one. It is much more advanced than anything that has ever been released.
Thanx Adam, I always like your videos you always add value. I started with knowing nothing but today i can create a website for client. Gregory from Tanzania 🇹🇿
Thank you. Yea spent some time on it and have ask Kadence to change the terminology in their block plugin to match it. Right now they have rows which is a container, but I want them to rename it to container. It really helps keep things simple.
Great content. Learning a lot from your channel. Am i missing something or Gutenberg and kadence blocks cant edit woocommerce product pages? I already find Gutenbergs reliance on other plugins to function a little tedious.
A lot of nice improvements in Gutenberg ... but I think Elementor still is hands down the best option for page and website design. With Elementor Pro I have FULL control over the design of the theme. But Gutenberg is becoming a good alternative for someone just starting to learn a page builder syste.
Yes and that is never going to change, page builders like Elementor and Divi have become complex advanced design tools that can do just about anything. Sorta like Photoshop. The problem is most people only use 10% of what it does and if you are new to all this, its a bit overwhelming to learn how to use WordPress and this totally separate page builder.
@@WPCrafter that is so true ... the learning curve for these "simple" website development tools is getting steeper and steeper. But with Elementor ... especially with the upcoming 3.0 release ... you have a rool set that added to Wordpress allows a novice website owner to quickly build a beautiful site. And with the addition of plugins like Unlimited Elemrntir Plugins that as allows you to create your own widgets ... the capabilities of Elementor atr truly unlimited ... allowing the novice to grow into a true website expert without ever needing to use another tool.
Gutenberg will soon be a serious contender when it comes to serious speed. Elementor will be doing something on 3.0, so it'll be interesting to see. Great content as usual, Adam, Thanks!
I'm a true Elementor fan, but this gets me excited! I've tried the beta version, and it feels a little better, but sometimes still not so user-friendly or dummy-proof. Or maybe that's because I'm so used to Elementor.
As a fellow Elementor fan, I was always not that interested. But when I just put a little time in, I got over the short learning curve pretty quick and was really impressed.
Looks great, I will definitely have to try building my next site just using Gutenberg and see if I can live without divi. If you can get those speeds using Siteground, I imagine it will be possible to get it down to less than 1s using a good host.
finished watching today, Great video Adam. downloaded Kadence and testing the blocks tool. too early to tell, but my frustrations with WordPress might finally be coming to an end, esp. when 5.5 comes out. Will you be doing another future review comparing the latest offerings from the big page builders out there? (to include Kadence and Gutenberg.) might have to purchase that kadence sub.
Happy to see that you are being open minded to exploring this as an option. And yea, that is a good idea to make that video, especially since more of Elementor v3 has been revealed.
This updated Gutenberg editor took inspirations from some big boys and became a beast. I used that yesterday and I was Amazed. It is great for us cause, After all, we all are Non-Techies. 🖤
@@WPCrafter true af... I see a lot of inspirational stuff from elementor and a few from Divi builder here... May be Wordpress is trying to make things easier for a beginner to start with and also introduce the world with the best page builder ever. Btw, I am a big fan of yours... Thanks for the reply 🖤
Great content, Adam. Thanks for making it easy to follow up. I have one question thou: Do you think we should stop using lazy load images plugin and stick with the native feature? Thanks!
Very interesting, thanks! 2 (probably stupid) questions: 1) the woocommerce plugin is robust in this new environment? Any testing results known? 2) I'm using Elementor/Astra with the woocommerce plugin. Would it be necessary to built (nearly) everything from scratch or are there more efficient ways to change? Thanks!
I have just discovered your channel, I'm new to Wordpress, I gotta say your channel is great! Vey informative, I'm thinking of purchasing Genesis or generatepress, which one in your opinion?
Kadence Theme crushes both in terms of features. It’s free and the free version is full featured. There is a pro version coming out in a few weeks that I will be covering on the channel.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies Thanks for the advice, looks like it has a lot of features, good to get started with yes? Is it best off continually sticking with one or two themes for familiarity and consistency rather than continuously theme hopping? As I said I'm new to Wordpress, so any advice is greatly appreciated.
I used to not like it as well but it’s grown tremendously and now there is not much different from a page builder yet you get the performance benefits.
I like the video. But I have to make an observation. You cannot talk about page speed, size, etc. when we are running a site with three plug-ins and 3-4 images in the frontpage. Nobody has a site with those few plug-ins or images. All least install twice the plug-ins (woocommerce for instance), and put more images in the frontpage.
I could add 20, 30, 40 images, its not gonna change a darn thing. I did that to demonstrate that Gutenberg will always product a leaner coded, highly optimized website. This is not an opinion, its a fact. The biggest code snobs all agree. People that hate page builders because of performance all agree that Gutenberg code is very close to hand coding.
@@WPCrafter Thank you for your reply, but I'll try it on the 14th of August with Woocommerce and the other stufff I have on my site. Hopefully I'll get better results. Thank you for all your work, I'm a (ir)regular viewer for two years.
Excellent Tutorial-you are a great presenter. My critique is why does WP make these radical changes...you pretty much have to start from the beginning to truly create and test ... WP is/has become a web page builder ---let go of the blog legacy
Adam.. Thank you for keeping us ahead of the curve. So awesome. I'm starting to work on a new site, and I find both Elementor and Thrive Architect frustrating in some key ways. In particular, it always feels like "pre-made sections" are an after thought. That's one thing I like about Kartra (not wordpress).. is that sections are not "teeny" and are not poorly/barely organized. This looks like at least with Kadence, Sections will be more front row center and easy to work with to easily put together a site as logo. I.e. it will be easy to have "full page templates", "section templates" and "low level components" and work on a page at any of these levels of abstraction. BTW, in your video, you did not say when WP 5.5 will be coming out. Do they have an "approximate date"?
Great Video, Thanks a lot. One feature I was missing while trying to use Block editor was to add a responsive "Buy now" button. When I added default button in block editor, the width of the button was not responsive. In elementor, the button is cool. Not sure if I miss to find it in block editor, please let me know if you find better option for this. Thanks.
@@WPCrafter Hello - One other help please. One of the primary reason to stick to Astra (free) + elementor is the Starter templates we get in Astra. For a blog website those are more than enough and easy to configure. Do you know if any such templates available for Kadence?
Hello sir, Wordpress is coming up updates similar to page builders like Elementor , Divi etc. It's true it will make work more easier. Your videos are very helpful. With regards, Vivek Kumar
WordPress does not allow you to just select an active plugin and delete it. You have to deactivate it and then delete it which is super annoying. That would be a great fix too. I don't know why it doesn't automatically disable the active plugin and then remove it when you select the plugin and tell it to delete it. Have you noticed it just does nothing when you tell the plugin to delete while active?
What were the mobile speed scores as they’re the metrics that matter most considering Google’s transition to mobile-first? Block builder interface is cool, I’ve been using on the wp hosted solutions for business since feb and it is super easy to get to grips with.
Very detailed and comprehensive review. But my biggest problem with all these free themes is that they don't allow you to set custom 404 and no result pages.. Do you have any workaround this for me?
All themes get performance hit as soon as you load AdSense. This is true for Kaedence theme as well. It goes from a score of 98 to 48 just because of AdSense.
Adam, I'm actually stoked about the plug-in and theme update features, as well as the much needed enhancements on page load times. That being said, I'm still not grooving with the whole Gutenberg block building. I just think the overall end-user experience has a great deal to go before being a major player in comparison to Elementor. I have started using the Kadence theme more as it provides more freedom when using Elementor Pro. I do enjoy their global color assignments, however, I have a strong gut feeling that when Elementor Pro brings across their next major update it will again emerge as the loading choice for serious web developers.
Great to see Gutenberg getting some positive PR, thanks Adam :) Gutenberg is the future and maybe this is release that will make it go mainstream. Here's hoping.
Thank You!!! --- --- --- So(s), if we already use a performance plugin {- such as the ultimate recommendation - SiteGround hosting provides :) -}} - will we want to disable their lazy-load option if using something like the SG Optimizer plugin? (or the performance plugin for those who haven't made the simple move yet...)
Its not in the theme directory yet. There is a 6 month backlog to have your theme included. So until its there you will need to download it directly from their website. The link in is the video description.
Super informative Adam, auto-update not for me, would the SG optimizer plugin work if not on Site Ground? Seems K enhance blocks plugin is working to replace Elementor type builders and analog-style kits. Interesting.
I think some of it does, but I haven't tried it. Yea Kadence Blocks is a great option for people that don't want to have to learn and manage 2 different interfaces, WordPress and Elementor. And poor style kits, Elementor just crushed they features today, global colors and font style to the free Elementor v3. I'll have a video out later today.
Hi, I have created wordpress multisite by learning from ur videos. I have few queries. I have created multisite using sub directory approach. Robots.txt is found in my main site but not in my sub sites. Can I submit sitemap for each sub site individually and target subsite to individual country?
Thanks for the great video. I'm new to all this and looks like Kadence is the way to go. However I intend to also use Toolset for dynamic content, custom fields etc... ( I found your video on their site). Can I use Toolset content and Blocks with Kadence? I haven't found much info on this and Kadence isn't listed as a compatible theme by Toolset
Auto-updates are super cool. I wonder if they will have a feature to auto backup and add a delay to updates for at least 24 hours like MainWP. Automatic replacement of plugins while uploading the new version is an awesome feature. I have been using a plugin that is super outdated and abandoned but still works. Glad to see I can get rid of it now. Although, I would like it if WordPress did not ask anything and just replaces it. There is no need for extra steps. WordPress sitemap. The first thing I thought was plugin conflict with RankMath, lol. I want to see Permalinks set as post name by default. One less thing to have to remember when setting up a new site. I also want to see an add page button that is easily accessible so I can create all of the pages that I need in a quick way. Ideally, the solution would be to add another Plus sign on the top menu of the pages. Global colours were just announced by Elementor. We will have to wait to see the full implementation and see how it compares. The Kadence Menu is cool. It reminds me of the Flatsome Menu Builder.
When we get blog subscribers, where are their email addresses stored. I am helping a friend move away from FEED BURNER. Exported her subscriber list, but now I am unsure what to do with it. Her feed burner just stopped working. Thank you so much.
Perfect timing since I am considering to move to Kadence and start using Gutenberg, I helped my nephew to start his blog with Kadence and man, I was very impressed with the theme.
At 7.47 your mouse disappears into the top of the page regarding Sitemap, so I have no idea how to get to it and when I type in the URL at 7.49 I get page doesn't exist. Then it disappears again at 10.27.
so building a site with the new wordpress should automatically boost speeds because page builder plugins slow down the speed? sorry I am a beginner and thanks for the help
Does anyone know if there is something for Gutenberg with which you could insert the same content on all posts? Like for example if you would want to have the same image/banner on all posts but dont want to change it on each post one by one when you decide to update/change the image.
I was thinking of getting Ella mentor Pro do you think I should hold off and for this and how long do you think it’ll be before this comes out or should I just use the beta site on my live site right now thanks

Do you think you will switch your website over from Elementor to purely block editor?
When it's time to redo my website, I will certainly consider it. For new websites, it will be Gutenberg.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies Nice. I’ll have to start taking Gutenberg more seriously.
Great video Adam :)
Great demo! Thank you.
Hi, I have created wordpress multisite by learning from ur videos. I have few queries. I have created multisite using sub directory approach. Robots.txt is found in my main site but not in my sub sites. Can I submit sitemap for each sub site individually and target subsite to individual country?
Can you make a video how to use elementor to integrate a twitch stream and also a discord chat
Useful, thanks!
Thanks for watching.
Hi
Why you are not showing the results of mobile device in Google page speed?🤔
It’s a 93 and you are more then welcome to test it for yourself, but you will first need to take off your tin foil conspiracy hat.
Thanks for the great video. I'm new to all this and looks like Kadence is the way to go. However I intend to also use Toolset for dynamic content, custom fields etc... ( I found your video on their site). Can I use Toolset content and Blocks with Kadence? I haven't found much info on this and Kadence isn't listed as a compatible theme by Toolset
Oh yes you can :-). And I am going to start digging into Toolset myself to see about making a tutorial on it.
@@WPCrafter Fantastic! Thanks for the quick reply and I look forward to your video on it!
Thank you so much for this video it is amazing to know that everything is gonna get a lot simpler !!!!
Is Kadence Blocks the same as Kadence Toolkit?
Can Kadence use the dynamic fields feature of Elementor Pro where you can inject custom post fields into content? Really need that.
Thank you a lot Adam, you are a beast! Do you also have any info on how good it works with AMP?
Cheers from Bogota

Have you gotten an answer on this? I'm also looking into it.
Auto-updates are super cool. I wonder if they will have a feature to auto backup and add a delay to updates for at least 24 hours like MainWP.
Automatic replacement of plugins while uploading the new version is an awesome feature. I have been using a plugin that is super outdated and abandoned but still works. Glad to see I can get rid of it now. Although, I would like it if WordPress did not ask anything and just replaces it. There is no need for extra steps.
WordPress sitemap. The first thing I thought was plugin conflict with RankMath, lol.
I want to see Permalinks set as post name by default. One less thing to have to remember when setting up a new site.
I also want to see an add page button that is easily accessible so I can create all of the pages that I need in a quick way. Ideally, the solution would be to add another Plus sign on the top menu of the pages.
Global colours were just announced by Elementor. We will have to wait to see the full implementation and see how it compares.
The Kadence Menu is cool. It reminds me of the Flatsome Menu Builder.
Thanks Adam, loving it!
Thanks.
Can you turn your subtitles on, pretty please? For those who need accommodations to view it.
What about existing pages - speed options with the new version backwards?
I’m never first but yet here I am!! 😆 Always great content, brother!!
Really appreciate seeing you comment Rich. Oh and happy anniversary.
When we get blog subscribers, where are their email addresses stored. I am helping a friend move away from FEED BURNER. Exported her subscriber list, but now I am unsure what to do with it. Her feed burner just stopped working. Thank you so much.
Is there a tutorial for that site you built?
Hola Adam! nice video thanks for getting all this news for us!!!!
Perfect timing since I am considering to move to Kadence and start using Gutenberg, I helped my nephew to start his blog with Kadence and man, I was very impressed with the theme.
Great info Adam Thanks
Super, thanks for these kinds of videos, they are awesome! ;))
At 7.47 your mouse disappears into the top of the page regarding Sitemap, so I have no idea how to get to it and when I type in the URL at 7.49 I get page doesn't exist. Then it disappears again at 10.27.
Not sure I follow you. What are you asking?
Hello, I have WP 5.5 and it says Kadence is untested for my version of WP. Weird right because that's what you're using.
so building a site with the new wordpress should automatically boost speeds because page builder plugins slow down the speed? sorry I am a beginner and thanks for the help
Does anyone know if there is something for Gutenberg with which you could insert the same content on all posts? Like for example if you would want to have the same image/banner on all posts but dont want to change it on each post one by one when you decide to update/change the image.
Yes, you can use reusable blocks :)
I was thinking of getting Ella mentor Pro do you think I should hold off and for this and how long do you think it’ll be before this comes out or should I just use the beta site on my live site right now thanks
Can I make a sales funnel site with this?
Yup :-)
Hi Adam, you did not activate the subtitles, it doesn't work now
Do they have a native image slider yet?
Thank you Adam
