Using the WordPress Block Editor with Kadence!

[@patrick1992]

I'm not sure about Kadence. Why I should take this Theme and not Silent and other like you promoted the last years? 😅

There were a few reasons I picked Kadence for this course: 1. The block editor has come a long way over the years, and I finally see it as a viable option for some. I think it’s especially attractive for beginners since it’s so tightly integrated in WordPress. Salient is designed for WPBakery and doesn’t work well with the block editor. 2. Kadence has a free version (which I use exclusively in this course). 3. Kadence also works with Elementor, and I explained in a recent video why I’m preferring Elementor these days over WPBakery. I used the free version of Kadence to build the craylor.academy site with Elementor and liked the experience. Nothing wrong with Salient, it’s still a solid theme. Like anything in the WordPress world, there is no one universal “best” option for every scenario. Kadence works for some people, Salient works for others.

Craylor - THANK YOU for putting this content out. I cannot express how much time you've saved me. I'm a complete beginner to WP and spent 2 days trying to navigate different theme builders - I had no idea it would be this stressful and overwhelming. Then I came across this video and I've been able to finally get a site up and running. I've watched a lot of videos but you're the first one to actually 'ELI5' (which beginners need!). I've subscribed and also signed up for your training academy. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
