@@WadeMcMaster Same feeling here. I really appreciate your efforts in the video. BTW, we have a drag and drop table plugin - WP Table Builder. If you get a chance, give it a try.

[@chinolombia]

Is it possible to change the default colors for a theme aligned color scheme, so users don't need to change the style every time that a new ultimate block is added?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I've personally never done it. But there is a pluginyou could try: wordpress.org/plugins/block-editor-colors/

How can I add ''Buy on Shopee'' button next to ''Buy now'' button under the product image?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Hi Istav, I'm not sure if this answers your question 100% but you could pop a button block underneath the image, add 2 buttons as you like from there. You could right align or left align the image by inserting it into columns. I hope that helps mat! Or is there a specific thing your referencing. Can you let me know a time stamp if thats the case?

@@WadeMcMaster Hi, unfortunately I cant edit the shop page on woocommerce. Fortunatelly I solved the problem with “custom add to cart button label and link” plugin

[@WadeMcMaster]

@@ronmaren4135 I see what you mean. Good to know about that plugin, thanks for updating me :)

[@insightsoflife4559]

Is there a possibility to filter the post grid with a random post query?

[@WadeMcMaster]

I don't think so, I can't see any info in regard to that but it may require digging a bit further or looking for another plugin.

[@MrSergonato]

how to use on a category page?

[@WadeMcMaster]

Unfortunately, I don't think you can use blocks on Category pages (yet). You could create a custom page for a category instead? using a posts module underneath. It wouldn't be the official category page but you could link to it in your navigation instead. I hope that makes sense or is suitable.

[@WadeMcMaster]

@@martinkaspar5095 Thank you very much Martin! This may be a delay response but you have a great day too!

[@kausalyakalyanasundaram6122]

Hope they are free as you said. Will try them and see the results.

[@georgivasilev3867]

I'm wondering,why is Ultimate Blocks for free? Why they don't have a paid plan? Where is their profit?

[@WadeMcMaster]

No idea! Could simply be passion project for guys who work elsewhere.

[@georgivasilev3867]

I'm asking,because if they don't have a profit,maybe they will soon loose interest in updating it. I'm looking for a RankMath compatible block builder and Ultimate blocks is one of it. Do you know otghers?

[@NeuromagicHK]

@@georgivasilev3867 Agreed. I would like to use Ultimate Blocks but do not want to build a site around a free plugin to then find it slipping into the sunset. They mentioned a Pro version 2 years ago (2021) and jsut recently said it is coming soon: >>UB forum April 2023 (ref Reviews block) We have already built pros/cons with schema for the Pro version of the plugin. We are almost ready with the release. Hoping to release it very soon.

[@ultimateblockswp]

The pro version is ready. We are now doing the last minute checks. Hopefully we will release the pro version within this month. Thanks.
