Simplified Client Editing in Bricks with Advanced Themer

[@isaurasotoca]

I love the clean interface that you can accomplish with Advance Themer and its strict client mode 😊 The only thing that bothers me is that the client still need to click on "Edit with Bricks", so they are aware of the tool you use. This is a potential issue of them asking you fot more capabilities the moment they start digging around of what Bricks is. I would like to be able to change the "Edit with Bricks" tag to something else, like just "Edit Page" or "Front-end Edit".

interesting idea - makes sense that once they see what you're using, it's a pandora's box. appreciate your perspective, Isaura!

As much as I like the idea… I'd rather not have any clients near bricks. I really like the GutenBricks approach.

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

i'm with you for the most part, probably 95% of projects are CPTs, and we're already moving into adding gutenbricks in there to supplement it. We do occasionally get clients who know enough to want to be editing in Bricks, and as it becomes more granular as Maxime showed recently, that is appealing for those use cases. I've found personally some clients even find Gutenberg overwhelming and the approach in this video actually is easier for many of them that I've had the opportunity to show both to.

@@BrendanOConnellWP That would make a good video. This is a use case for GutebBricks and here is how it works … and this is a use case for AT strict editor and here is how it works.

​​@@BrendanOConnellWP I agree, Bricks in client mode looks much more easier and user friendly than Gutenberg. Most, if not, all of my clients are happy for just editing the content.

@@BrendanOConnellWP is there any ability to add new sections or is it strictly editing what is already in place?

[@noraholmquist8231]

Very impressive

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

Glad you enjoyed. Looking forward to having more granular controls over what can be edited in next version too

[@YasirShabbir]

Amazing 🤩

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

Thank you! Cheers!

I don’t see too much of a difference within editing compared to the native bricks way. Which I think is also not perfect at all. At the moment, I do think it could be Gutenbricks that helps us out.

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

hmm, well editing the heading only shows the text to edit, not the html tags, aria label, rel text, etc, so the idea is that a client can edit a complex design, but only have access to certain parts. but point taken about editing experiences and not being ideal. excited to use gutenbricks in some upcoming projects with high client use. cheers.

@@BrendanOConnellWP How can I hide HTML tags, etc?

@@cham-oyada next version 2.5 will allow more granular toggles for each of those, so you'll be able to soon

Advanced Themer? where / how?

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

Strict Edit Mode at the top level AT settings needs to be enabled. And its about to get better !

[@BGdev305]

Wow! AT is so 🔥 Thanks for the heads up B.

[@BrendanOConnellWP]

@@BGdev305you got it! Just keeps getting better and better!
