Blows my mind how page builders are just now coming round to the idea of classes as being a great idea for globally styling a website... 😂 Great to see this in GenerateBlocks. Nice work mate!
I think the issue isn’t whether global classes are a good idea, that’s a given. iI’s more a question of how to build a good UI & UX within Wordpress. Trying to integrate global classes into a moving target like Gutenberg, or WordPress generally can’t be easy. This (GenerateBlocks Alpha) looks to be a really good solution.
As much as this is rather nice to have, it still feels like we're reinventing CSS with extra steps. As a dev, it's crazy to me the extent people are willing to go to make websites without actually learning to make websites. I like what GeneratePress is trying to do, but ultimately it's a bandaid on top of a bigger problem in the wordpress ecosystem, namely trying to have a system that contents both no-coders and developpers.
I have a probIem, I make home page picture on canva and I upload it by generate press, I want to make call to action at the middel of the picture under and I don't know how to make this 🙏🙏
Great tutorial. I have a vague memory of WPTuts presenting a tutorial using Jade Summer Coloring Books as an example. Could anyone point me to that specific tutorial? Thanks in advance
Less recommend, but for me, I use GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks on a lot of projects and love them. Kadence blocks is great, but I feel that GB strips things to their basics and gives you a palette to work from, whereas KB has done all that work for you, but you have to like what they've done. Does that make sense?
I'm really curious about something since I've been running a site with GenerateBlocks Pro for years. I have nearly everything in the design controlled by Global Styles, with those styles being reflected in Local Patterns. I can already make site-wide styling and layout changes within seconds. I'm very unclear how this class-based workflow adds any value to such a setup. Can you clarify?
Certainly makes GB more appealing for FSE builds. Have you tried using Core Framework with this version Paul? I'm an AutomaticCSS user with Bricks and although it should work in Gutenberg I have never found it particularly convenient to use in practise
I haven't, no. But, I have read on the FB group about users using CF with GenerateBlocks/Press. How well integrated it is, I honestly don't know. I'll revisit things once this comes out of alpha and is released and see how they work together.
i'm completely lost on builders, generatepress, bricks, oxygen, breakdance........is it only me i can't choose because there's a voice in my mind that always thinks, did i make the right choice and do i miss important stuff which other might have.
Click in an inner block and the outer blocks will appear in the document overview! Not perfect I know, but it becomes a habit! (and in Preferences >> General make sure 'Always open List View' is turned on!) (noticed the inconsistency - in one place it is called Document Overview and in another List View :( )
@@WPTuts Would be great if you reviewed Greenshift theme and its plugin too. I have an Integral Pro theme, but I didn't like the 'contact us' page. So I installed the Greenshift plugin, and customised one of the premade 'layouts' of Greenshift, and presto, the contact us page is a great pop. And yes, I also have the paid version of GP too. But I am finding Greenshift to be quite useful these days.
I want to enque a css file with hash, how can i do it? Everytime i change something in my sass, webpack will generate a css file with a different hash.
I would like to express my deep gratitude for the knowledge and experience you share with us with such love and sincerity. I encountered a simple problem that I could not solve on my own, and I did not find any detailed explanation on UA-cam that addresses it. I hope that you will receive my message that I sent via your channel's email and guide me on how to deal with it. Thank you again for your tremendous efforts and I wish you all the best.
I'm a Generate Blocks user. I love it and this is a great development to see. Can't wait till the full release.
With these explanations I finally move forward in my design. Thanks for that.
No one explains Generateblocks better than you, the explanation is just flawless! Thanks 💯

Dude, you were pimping Elementor not that long ago - don't start throwing shade now 😂
@@TheAdminBar 🤣 Ouch!
😂 I didn't mean just GenerateBlocks! Even with Bricks it was a revolutionary idea. I'm genuinely pleased it's happening! 😜😘

Since yesterday I am waiting for your video on this from post from your fb group... It's pretty quick :)

For the editor parameters, can variables be used instead of static values? Like in Bricks?
Definitely a game changer!🔥
I'm happy to see that "global class managers" are finally starting to find their way into page builder 😊
Agreed - the more flexibility we get, the faster we can get out work done. :)
@@WPTuts Definitely 😁

Oh my... Knowing this, I just remembered the lovely Cwicly builder.
Great tutorial. I have a vague memory of WPTuts presenting a tutorial using Jade Summer Coloring Books as an example. Could anyone point me to that specific tutorial? Thanks in advance
GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks are saving Gutenberg at this point.
Hi paul, which one would you recommend - kadence blocks or generate blocks
Less recommend, but for me, I use GeneratePress & GenerateBlocks on a lot of projects and love them. Kadence blocks is great, but I feel that GB strips things to their basics and gives you a palette to work from, whereas KB has done all that work for you, but you have to like what they've done.
Does that make sense?
@@WPTuts👍
Some feedback - maybe move or close the circle with your mug in :) its covering some of your actions!
Is it correct that you offer a detailed tutorial-series on the new version GB Pro 1.7?
Not yet, no.
I’d recommend doing a search for The Admin Bar on UA-cam and my friend Kyle has released several on the new feature set. 👍
Nice. And I presume core framework and ACSS will work on that as well.
I beleive ACSS has partial integration with GB/GP, but not sure about CF. I'll wait for the final release and see how things go with CF.

@@WPTuts Thanks. I might blow the dust off my GB/P licences and give it a try...

Very nice, but that video inset is really badly placed here. Could we not do completely without it for full dev screen shots?
This looks quite exciting! Thanks for the great rundown.
So Bricks can do all this but that is have similar way of doing the Global Styles like this GenerateBlocks you just demostrated?
Yes, Bricks has a solid set of Global Class tools but a similar toolset will be included in GB soon.
I'm confused, is GB an addon to the GP theme? And is GP also a builder like Bricks? thx@@WPTuts
@@James_m7 GB is a block based set of tools that work with GP but also with any WP theme.
TY! So it will also work within Bricks? Would you recommend using them together?@@WPTuts

In greenshift it have been a long time available ;)
Cool. But, I'm not a Greenshift user, this is a solid new addition to the tools that I use. :)

... but without a solid documentation
Seems a bit clunky but this is only rough draft 1 of the feature, so hopefully we'll see a bit of refinement from it.
