I’m so glad she mentioned that about her comment being deleted because I said good things and asked a good question like you suggested in the video, I didn’t use any bad words that I’m aware of lol and my comment was deleted as well. I’ll email you the question and thank you for giving us the option to do so

[@markuselias6017]

Your video's are gold, Clifton! I've been using Kadence for over a year, but I'm still learning a lot of new things from your video's. A big thank you to you! Regarding the horizontal alignment, how will this affect mobile/tablet pages that are narrower?

[@CliftonWP]

Thank you Markus! Glad you are finding the videos helpful! The horizontal alignment will collapse automatically on tablet and mobile pages. Essentially the second item wraps to the bottom and they become aligned vertically on narrower pages. Hope that helps!

Another "great" video. Looking forward to maybe some "custom block" videos. No pressure.

Thank you! Can you share with me what you mean by custom blocks? Do you mean creating Custom Gutenberg blocks from scratch?

[@01montgomeryricky01]

@@CliftonWP Yes. My skill set came from a lot functions.php manipulations like creating sidebars and custom menus. Now I see that js is being incorporated a lot more and before I deep dive into "creating" new plugins and widgets I thought it would be a good idea to speak with a thought leader in this space.

[@kfking103]

Clifton you are great! I've learned a lot about Kadence but having trouble figuring out how to have a different footer on a specific page with Kadence. Lot's of Elementor tutorials but struggling with Kadence. Have you touched on that? If so where? Or will you do a video soon?

[@CliftonWP]

Thank you Kathy! I appreciate you watching the videos! Conditional Footers are very possible with Kadence. You would need the Kadence Pro Add-on so you can build out a Footer layout using the "Elements" feature. Perhaps this would be great video tutorial topic. Adding it to the queue!

[@indioarmani8209]

does kadence have vertical scroll navigation that used in landing page?

[@carltontraveler8625]

How exactly does image size work? what suggested sizes for different. Featured image size, post images size, and so on. Is there a video to explain this process? what do I do?

[@davidson7838]

Hey Clifton, does Kadence have a slider or slide show block? or can you recommend a nice slider for gutenberg (like primeslider for elementor)? Thank you for the great videos, I really like your lessons. :)

[@CliftonWP]

Thank you David! Yes, Kadence has a slider plugin called Kadence Slider Pro. It is included in the suite of plugins you get if you have the Full Kadence Pro Bundle. Another way to create a slideshow effect is by using the slide show background option included in the Kadence Row Block. There is also a carousel feature in the Advanced Gallery Block. Hope that helps!

[@davidson7838]

@@CliftonWP unfortunately I don't have a pro account 😕

[@CliftonWP]

Ok. You can still create s slideshow out of the Kadence Row Block by selecting the Slider Background option. There is also a Free Gutenberg slider called Block Slider that looks interesting. I've never used Block Slider however I've checked it out and it looks promising. I hope that helps!

[@ARNBNDL]

Hello Clifton, i have to choose between Stackable, Spectra and Kadence, all in pro, to make e-commerce website (10 to make as a newbie), what would be your choice on this and why? Thanks for your content.

[@CliftonWP]

Thank you Arnaud. Without questions Kadence and Kadence Pro is the best choice. Here is why: Out of the Box, Kadence's WooCommerce integration is seamless. In addition that are several customizer options in Kadence build just for WooCommerce. Second, if you are getting Kadence Pro, then you will automatically have access to Kadence Shopkit which allows you to customize WooCommerce even further with over 15 additional customization options including variations swatches, custom product pages, advanced gallery styles, custom checkout and more. You also get access to Kadence Pro Starter templates which has several e-commerce starter templates you ca start with. Kadence works beautifully with WooCommerce. Go with Kadence, you'll be glad you did.

[@ARNBNDL]

Damn, thank you for this@@CliftonWP (im so happy!) So yes, with Kadence, i dont need extra part or plugins, right? Its like an all in one? Compared to other who will need other part, right? And for newbie to start with, Kadence pro is really ok?

[@georgivasilev3867]

Nice video thank you. May i ask something: can i use Kadence blocks with the blocksy theme? The reason is,because blocksy theme is intrgrated with crocoblocks JetEngine,which i

[@CliftonWP]

Thank you and Yes! You can use Kadence Blocks with the Blocksy Theme. 🙂

[@georgivasilev3867]

Thank you very much. I really thought that i can't and that Kadence blocks are only compitable within Kadence theme. Now,if i can use Blocksy theme+Kadence blocks+some Crocoblocks,it will be very powerfull alternative to Elementor+Crocoblocks.

[@CliftonWP]

That's great Georgi. Yes Kadence Blocks is compatible with any theme that allows you to build with Gutenberg. Enjoy!

Thank you once again.

[@tomfraser3086]

Sorry off topic, but I'm at my wits end. I would like to put text over a header photo. I do not want to use the Cover Block as it does not maintain the same aspect ratio over different devices. An Advanced photo in a section will maintain the same aspect ratio over devices. In the past I have used Negative margin (on text in a row below the photo) to move the text over the photo but this is a very clunky way to do it. Do you have any insights into a better way ?

[@CliftonWP]

Hi Tom! You can certainly do this with a Row block or section block. If I am understanding you correctly you want to place text over an image and still maintain the photo aspect ratio in mobile correct? Do you have an example I can look at? Can you post a link?

[@mypathtotravel]

Hi Clifton, do you know if there is a way to ensure Similar Posts pick up tags or sub categories rather than categories using the free version of Kadence please?

[@CliftonWP]

Hi! Im not sure I understand your question. Can you tell me exactly what you want to accomplish and I'll see how I can help. :-)

[@mypathtotravel]

@@CliftonWP Hi Clifton, thanks for taking the time to reply. I have a travel website with an overall category of destinations and subcategories by country. The Similar Posts picks up all categories (so all destinations) and it looks bad when an African country post picks up European country posts as it's not how the user would search. It would look better if they were all African posts or all European posts but I can't seem to find a way to do this. Thanks Clifton.

[@CliftonWP]

@@mypathtotravel Ah! I think I understand, but to make it more clear for me can you post a link? Or if you prefer to send me the link privately, please send me an email to [e-mail] and I will take a look and let you know of a solution.

@@CliftonWP Thanks Clifton. I am working on the theme in staging at the moment but once it's live I'll email you the link. Have a great day.

[@CliftonWP]

@@mypathtotravel Ok, Thank you. One thing you can consider is making the Overall categories the Countries and the Destinations the Subcategories or Sub content within the countries categories. Thanks again!

[@CliftonWP]

Hi Tom! What platform did you use to design the header? If it is in Kadence Pro them builder and you built it using the Elements feature, then you can export it. However if you are using the default traditional Header within the customizer, there is no way to export that.

[@tomfraser3086]

@@CliftonWP ...that's what I was afraid of. Please put a tutorial for doing just that on your list. I've attempted it before and I cannot get the Navigation block to change from Standard to Hamburger at the right viewport size. I also can't find a way to adjust the letter spacing...... Thanks in advance..

[@mela9867]

Thank you Clifton! Quick question, when horizontally aligning blocks, how do we make them all the same height? For instance, if we have sections for each column there is a setting in the row block to make the inner column height 100% so they are equal height. As shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJu2dZupg7yrncU&ab_channel=AbuzidWP. However, I don't see an option to make the blocks the same height when they are aligned horizontally. Maybe I'm missing something? (I know the settings are a little different these days than they were 2 years ago, haha)

[@CliftonWP]

Thank you Mel! I appreciate you watching. I am working on some new videos for Kadence so stay tuned. In regards to your question, it really depends on the blocks you are using. For instance if you are using the Info Box blocks and you have different amount of content in each info block, then they will look misaligned. The only option is to ensure you have the same amount of content in each info block. My recommendation is to utilize row blocks and the sections within them to organize your content, then style the sections to make them uniform in height with the inner-column at 100% setting.

[@mela9867]

@@CliftonWP Thank you so much for your SUPER quick reply! That makes perfect sense. Also, I noticed utilizing the sections in the way you suggest here make them automatically responsive across different screen sizes (which is always preferred). Thank you again Clifton!
