Thank you John for this enjoyable and valuable video. You certainly have a great teaching channel and hope you continue to share your skills and knowledge with the wordpress audiance/users/enthusiasts/developers. I personally am very keen on Brizy an think it is the easiest of all Page makers to use.
Thanks so much for the encouraging words! Brizy has a great interface for sure - I hope the developers can keep up the pace... they have a lot of ground to make up, and the competition is definitely not resting on their laurels!
Thanks for this, I have been frustrated with Gutenberg due to how difficult and time conduming it is to work with to build a nice looking website. Felt like it's a waste of my time. Im gonna try Kadence with Gutenberg and see if it makes my job easier.
John, I've played around with Gutenberg, and it's nice - have you noticed any difference in page load time between a page designed with Gutenberg and one designed with Elementor? Also, do you know of an easy way to switch from Elementor? I've been using their plugin for a couple of years, but I've been having some issues with it lately and I would switch if there was an easy way to do it. Thanks for your excellent videos, too, by the way. :)
Thanks so much! In general if you build the exact same page in Elementor and Gutenberg, the Gutenberg page should be faster. And if you want to transfer away from Elementor, I would just rebuild page by page over time. But another option would be to look at the plugin Elementor blocks for Gutenberg - this allows you a lot of flexibility by using Gutenberg 90% of the time and Elementor only in those instances where you can’t get the look you want
Hi John...I'm a very recent Divi to Kadence/Gutenberg transfer. I found this video super helpful, thank you so much! :) I was wondering if there's a way to create a global blog post template in Kadence that's similar to Divi’s ‘custom body’ in their theme builder? I know about customising blog posts and pages, but I’d like to be able to add an affiliate notice and signup form on every blog post. Any advice would be hugely appreciated and paid for in good coffee (or red wine) should you ever visit Cape Town. :)
WordPress is building its own Theme Builder natively which is like 1 or 2 releases away from doing everything you're speaking of :) Just a bit more patience I think!
What is the fastest & free way to add a "TOP BAR" over a "sticky &transparent main menu" in a very simple web site ? Is the Elementor free enough ? or do we have to use "Kadence + Eementro .free" or any other simple solution ? BR
Awesome video, John! Thanks for all of the help!! Two things.......I'm old so please slow down just a titch.......also, how do you get around Wordpress forcing a theme on you? I had a website years ago and gave up.....LOVE Gutenberg and don't want to use a theme. My hockey-damaged brain just can't figure it out.........Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this great video, it is a pleasure to listen to you. Sadly, I get some wordpress error when I'm trying to get into the library. I got very excited to check out those blocks presets. However, getting an error and not able to preview them at all :( That's quite disappointing. I haven't found any answer on how to fix it so far. I was wondering if you're having the same experience?
Oh, I needed to delete kadence, such shame. Upon my next login I saw that the kadence blocks are marked as "unidentified", stopped working, and I saw the info that my site doesn't support it - whatever that means.
oh that's not good. I would check with your host that your website is running PHP version 7+, and that your Wordpress is up to date... if you are having errors like that there is definitely something wrong with your wordpress set up. Kadence blocks works just fine on updated site installs :) If you want me to take a hands on look you can sign up for an hour of consulting: incomemesh.com/consult
Aloha John, I've got a quick Q for you. My goal is to create a simple site very similar to this one: seths.blog/ If you'd please look at that site, and give me feedback on which direction I should pursue (using theme Kadence - or - Kadence Blocks here: wordpress.org/plugins/kadence-blocks/) Most of my concerns lie in the sidebar. I want to make it very closely mimicking the site referenced; Seth's Blog. Thank you! I very much appreciate your insight. Aloha!
Kadence blocks has really upped my game in WordPress website development.
Thank you John for creating this excellent Kadence Blocks video. I learned a lot.
Thank you for sharing this video - realised now that I can use Gutenberg, it's so powerful when you use with Kadence blocks - thanks John
I have always hated Elementor and I am so happy that other people are looking for alternatives. Great video and I love everything Kadence.
Well hate is a strong word but I'm very excited for the future of wordpress!!
@@johncreates Yes you are right hate is a strong word. I really, really dislike Elementor because it makes my website slow.
Thank you for replying too!
Thanks so much for this video. I'm switching from Elementor to Gutenberg now!
Thanks for this vid man. I was about to get rid of Gutenberg until I found this video. Thanks brother.

Great Video and a lot to take in. Probably need to view a few times as you go at a tremendous rate. Thanks!
Yeah, the coffee was strong that day. I'm trying to tone it down in future videos :)

@@johncreates Thanks, John. Good ideas.
Wow, John! Love this!! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Thank you for nice video. One question I do not see the full width button. Please help
When you click on a block, a little hover menu pops up - the full width option should be one of those selections
Great video! Where is the video you teased about regarding the SVG you used?

Great guide, thank you! I've sign in your website, though, and I didn't see the Gutenberg Free Start Guide you mentioned in the video :-(
I’ve had great feedback on the course and added a bunch of content so it has become a paid course now incomemesh.com/Gutenberg-hero
Nice video! Where can I find the block navigator? =)
When you are in the Gutenberg editor it's the 3 horizontal lines at the top menu next to the + button :)
Heard there is good software EnotGlobal for PF cheating, can someone used ?

Page Builder companies will simply take over the Gutenberg space by creating tools like Kadence Blocks.
Well that's the goal - Gutenberg itself is just a base to build upon :) Thanks for the comment!
This is help me so much!
Woo-hoo mission accomplished!
Thank you
