This is literally the first time I ever saw an ad by the KZbin channel I clicked on play before the actual video played. 🤣

[@KedarBhatlive]

Thanks for this video. I was worried that am I missing a lot by not going the crocoblock way... Your video saved my time & energy for now.... 🙏🏻😊

[@TheAGArtStudio]

Just starting Crocoblock and it has a learning curve to it. Elementor was more intuitive and easier to understand and implement. I think they should merge as companies and build an amazing platform together.... Great video!

[@UltimaNet79]

I also started with Elementor pro, it's fast, easier and was enough at the initial stage. Now it has grown to a crocoblock. Спасибо за видео!

[@andrevannestex10]

Genius in terms of analytical and conceptual thinking and communication 👏👏 Thanks Hope that elementor boss watch this video and innovate on elementor using crocoblock as role model 🙏

[@larryfarr]

Thank you very much for clarifying this issue. Just what I needed to hear.

[@Keithtbh26]

Great vid bro, Crocoblock's structure really confusing and not for beginners, your video is really helpful, i love the way you explained things from your unique perspective, so understandable, this is gold!!

Thank you for sharing. I actually have the same feeling about this but I didn't invest in Elementor Pro yet.

Just bought the full suite croco blocks with your discount ! Great video. Maybe we can colab in the future.

Thanks dear for the comparison

[@VladimirKurian]

I use crocoblock with elementor free only . The game changer for me was when the jet engine implemented the dynamic option inside their widgets. Dynamic content wasn’t possible before without having Elementor pro.

[@ar_dani_]

did you got a good result with Elementor free + crocoblock fullpackege ????

[@francocolombo2468]

hi! did u got a good result?

Wow Crocoblocks finally updated their website! Curious what plugins and elements they’ve added for us Pro members in the last 1-2 years. GRT video!

[@fukkenPavlo]

Great video buddy! Thank you

[@AndreaDiSomma]

Great content as always. An idea for the next video: gdpr and elementor

[@LudovicCharlier]

You can have a role manager with the extension jetstyle manager (I'm not sure about the name). I really like the philosophy of Crocoblock where you can enable/disable only feature you want on a project. Elementor pro would be lighter and faster if we were able to enable/disable elements, popup, etc... Per project...

[@bandihari2433]

[@haroldchoung3858]

Totally agree, crocoblock do have ready made template but many people is unable to load the template to the website

[@roborex6130]

Hey, Rino have you ever used Webflow. If yes I would love to know what's your point of view on it.

[@nsa5]

What I realised having both E Pro and Crocoblock Jet Tricks… both have Tooltips feature and Jet Tricks has priority, meaning all your tooltips you setup with Elemetor no longer appear when you install JetTricks.

[@EbrahimLagardien]

Love your content

[@danishhaseeb9004]

Can you make a video teaching all the functionalities of Crocoblocks? showing how their each plugin works and how they are connected to each other

[@MrOptima]

From what I see in your video, Crocoblock separates some product related features in different plug-ins, adding some confusion and sometimes frustration. I don't think it has anything to do with speed rather than maximizing revenues for their products and efforts. I am very much fine with that approach as I believe people should always be properly compensated for their work. At 8:30 mark in the video, you point out that a list of plug-in features can be enabled or not. This is where speed is the main objective. If we are not using some of the features, disabling them will improve the speed execution of the active features in the plug-in. Keeping all features enabled in multiple Crocoblock plugins can bring your website down to its knees.

[@ProVM001]

You are right! One problem of all contrustion software is its that you get other (like a rectange) and you must write somethng that are not similar that you get. Other you write, other you get (and the user see). One big problem. First you must knon what to write. Lessons (or self lessons) to learn it. When are comblex there is a big learnig curve. It is somethig that no one istructor says. Generaly bad situation. (Example: You want the red fill abd you must write red_fill! Haves thn word "red_fill" any red? No, but you must learn how to write it. That is very simple, but there are a lot not realy comprehensibles).

[@Norain1992]

I started using crocoblock and did some tests with the jet woobuilder. I have to admit that I ran into the same issues that it is kinda time consuming to find out how to use it the right way. Do you think it is better to stick with elementor pro or Astra doing the woocommerce stuff, also for future updates? I am kinda scared that it could cause some issues with upcoming updates for elementor

[@cabelodomato]

I agree, Crocoblocks plugins are complete and you can build pretty much anything. But is veeeery hard to know what is possible and to learn how to use.

[@realfbi]

Hey, do you have a plan to make tutorial for making ui with figma and design it to website with elementor? Been looking to your channel and i found adobe XD

[@abundantiafinances8574]

You forgot to link your awesome FB group in the description! :)

[@wancukjie]

Hey Rino, what do you think about headless CMS? WP as backend and something like react/nextjs/gatsby as front end. As we know, WP+Elementor+Crocoblock is very slow. Are you heading this direction for the long term or will stick with Elementor for front end?

[@luxlabstudio3622]

Excelent! I felt almost the same with crocoblock! Love all the features, but could be more intuitive for shure!

[@Mito_Solar]

Hi! What theme do you recommend when using Crocoblock and Elementor pro?

[@EliskaMartynek]

Hi Rino, I'm trying to solve the following problem: I made a real estate website with Elementor Pro and ACF. It worked as I needed it. But now the client wants to translate the whole website. I tried Polylang but it does not translate the inputs in dynamic fields unless you buy Polylang PRO version. It starts to add up and I'm wondering if it would be easier (and cheaper) to switch to Elementro PRO and Crocoblock. Can it be translated in Crocoblock?

[@Fadirko]

Nice video 👌🏻 may you can make a video about optimization the speed of a Wordpress website. My sites are usually slow without having big images. I dont think my server is the problem, bc in my option it has relative good specs (SSD, 500MBit/s traffic, 16GB Ram, 6 vCore CPU). Greetings from Germany!

Hi. How are you? First of all, thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I want to ask you a question, is there a way for a registered users (not client) to add their own post without having to enter the Wordpress Dashboard? I mean, make a page with a form to add content to a Custom Post Type.

[@joukenienhuis6888]

Thank you for the explanation. As always very clear. This combination reminded me of Toolset. With Toolset you don't need Elementor or Crocoblock. And do you have a video about when to use Custom Content Type or Custom Post Type?

[@user-vd9vf4jp6p]

Toolset dont have data store and some other features of crocoblock, but if u are use html + css + js and tooset = it is very strong

[@MrGassigeher]

Hello, what's about the free pro elements plugin together with crocoblock?

[@KohlHosein]

You definitely need to do a lot of reading snd fiddling around before you can really juice Crocoblock. It can be used as different powerful tools but it's only advertised as a few powerful tools - to manipulate it will take reading through all of their documentation for each different widget.

[@gsboss81fr]

I agree 100%. I still use them in combination because they have pro and cons with widgtes... At least Crocoblock Win for support! But i would turn only on Elementor Pro if they’ll provide real support on widgets development, because of the easiest worflow. Just an expample: the elementor pro add to cart widget in single product template it’s just ugly, and I use Crocoblock Woobuilder template just for this reason...

[@diogotibirica]

Great video as always. I have both but just starting to learn how to use them. I have the 1000 websites at $199, do you think it’s worthy to upgrade to the 1000 + VIP Support for $499? Not being an experienced web designers may be good to have a fast live chat support, I wouldn’t think for $999 but what’s your opinion in my case at $499? Or just stick with the 1000 websites for $199? Thx

[@rinodeboer]

Thank you! Good question... I think when you have a lot of trouble with Elementor and need help all the time then the package is nice ofcourse, and then it's worth some money. But if you haven't used the support a lot before then just skip it for now and wait for the next sale and then decide again. I think they do 2 sales per year.

[@dannygrio]

Hey Rino, this was exactly what I was thinking the past weeks. Sent some questions to groups, Croco, WPTuts etc.. Just trying to understand if I could just use Elementor free version with Croco. I cam to the same conclusion you did. I would need to use more plugins, plus the form from Croco has great features, such as conditional logic, which is a weakness in elementor's form. I was all happy, but then I found out that the form doesn't have an acceptance field included. Well, GDPR is here and a form with no acceptance, is worthless. Also it doesn't have HTML and some actions after submit that elementor has. Last, I believe you loose the option of adding css inside elementor, but I don't know if croco replaces that. I also think Jet Plugin names confusing, specially the Jet Menu and Jet Blocks. I never know which one is for the menu, so I stick with elementor. Thanks!!!

[@rinodeboer]

Thanks so much for this extra input. Very interesting to hear your insights as well!

[@nikolaostsimpetonidis4243]

Hello, and many thanks for you video! I would much appreciate your advice with the following: I am teaching in a primary school and year 6 will be doing website creation somewhere in the summer term next year. I am thinking of using Adobe XD for designing but what do you think students should use after to make their website active? meaning to convert their Adobe XD design to a working website. Apologies but I am relatively new in website development, mostly used Photoshop and similar software for web design. My web development skills are left behind in the era of Adobe Dreamweaver. My idea is to show them what is used out there and for they have an understanding of jow a website is being created. Many thanks in advance for any info.

[@rinodeboer]

Starting with Adobe Xd is great. You can create a wireframe in there and a visual design. When they are happy with the design they can build their design in Elementor. I have made a video about this proces that probably answers a lot of your questions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n32oo2ltprt7qMk

[@rinodeboer]

It has definitely changed since elementor has launched many features that replace the need for croco. But there are still many features where croco is king. Especially with dynamic content and with filters.

[@cloninger1973]

@@rinodeboer Sod do you think the unlimited forever plan would be overkill for someone that just does their Digital Marketing Website business and affiliate marketing or do you think would be a useful and very worth it? Thank you Rino!!

[@rinodeboer]

That’s a good question. If you just have a few personal websites and don’t work for clients then it might be overkill. But it also depends on how much money you make. I personally like to always buy lifetime even though it cost more because it’s less hastle (also for accounting). So yea it depends. If you can wait a few more weeks then you can get their freelance plan on Black Friday for probably around $500-$550.

Crocoblock puts Elementor Pro to shame! However, there's a slight learning curve to really get the most out of Crocoblock.

Hi Rino, I saw many online markets sell elementor pro with cheaper price. Can you tell the effects of subscribing to that cheaper package?

[@rinodeboer]

It's probably a scam where they sell licences of another big account. I wouldn't trust it to be honest. You want to own your subscription instead of paying less for a small part of someone elses account.

If you can afford both *Elementor Pro* and *Crocoblock plugins* , that would be *PERFECT!* . But if you can only afford one of them it's very *wise* to invest in *Elementor Pro* first to learn and practice many basic pro stuffs as u wait to afford Crocoblock plugins in future.

I have heard a lot recently about Google changing their algorithm centred around speed. Can Elementor sites keep up with sites built without page builders?

[@profissionaldigital]

Elementor folks are not stupid. They are aware of performance. If you look at the settings tab, there are options to be activated that will improve performance. I know it's not enough. But, I truly believe they will come up with performance features in the near future to compete with Kadence. Or Elementor improve performance or they will lose the game to competition. That's my guess.

[@thangkhupkhai]

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! That is exactly what I encountered. After I installed Crocoblock and enabled all the features, my LearnDash simply stop working.. funny .. I cannot edit my contents on LearnDash anymore .. so I blamed LearnDash .. I switch to Tutor LMS .. again the same thing happened .. my Tutor LMS only works after I deactivate some randomly picked features .. why randomly pick? because .. I don't even know which one is the culprit .. do I want to find out and understand what exactly cause that problem .. I wish, but no .. I have no time for that.. I never intended to be a Crocoblock Guru .. I just want to have a WordPress website for my online courses.. ONE MORE BIG .. my elementor pro stop working after I activate all the Crocoblock features .. so THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE EACH OTHER 100% .. that "the randomly pick deactivating of some jets" has to be done again ... HMMM .. all in all .. I wasted my time and get frustrated badly .. I hope and wish they take what you said seriously and do something
