The Future Of WordPress Is Here In WordPress 6.2 - End Of Page Builders?

[@jdanorthwest]

It's so rare to watch a youtube video these days that doesn't spend half the video talking about everything but the main topic in a pathetic effort to get more minutes of watch time. Thanks for not wasting my time.

[@FernandoArbex]

I'm impressed that now it's getting more granular control over the elements. That will attract more advanced users for sure and more beautiful designs will emerge.

[@BGdev305]

It won't attract more 'advanced' users. Gutenberg, by design, will never attract advanced users.

[@drjimbarnes]

It sounds great. I will switch to this block-based theme. People will complain about losing something familiar, like they do about losing petrol/gas cars, but this is the future of Wordpress. Thanks, Adam

[@JoinTheProgress]

Let's hope that's not a direct comparison between EVs and WP tho...The EVs have virtually no history of reliability, very few mechanics, replacement batteries cost as much as decent used cars and are worse fire hazards than gas cars. Never mind that they're not green at all and that the "blood batteries" come from child labor. Yeah...let's use a different comparable, lol.

[@marinawolf]

That's quite the false comparison.

[@SurajKr.Prakash-e4o]

It's great to hear that WordPress is continually improving its platform to make it more accessible and user-friendly. I'm looking forward to learning more about the new features and improvements in this release. Thanks for sharing this exciting news, Adam!👍

[@look4that]

And, it's all free. And open source. F!!! yeah!

[@wppagebuilders]

This is a game-changer for WordPress! No more clunky page builders - the visual editing with block themes looks amazing. Especially digging the fluid typography for responsive design. Will definitely be trying a block theme on my next project. Thanks for the clear explanation!

[@persimmonpudding6178]

This was incredibly helpful for someone that doesn't want to revert back to the classic editor but is struggling to find the right theme for the block editor.

[@fitnessrefocus]

I've been using Beaver Builder since 2015 and still love it. Thank you for sharing the update about WP 6.2 but I don't think I'll be switching to the new block builder because I don't think it's as intuitive as my favorite page builder.

[@KMSorifulIslamAdnan]

Great news and a great addition. Now building websites with the block editor going to be more easy and fun.

[@kingof410]

Honestly, being able to work this smoothly right within WP is a breath of fresh air

[@nikasiradze13]

Thanks for this video. It won't change the experience of Elementor Pro or some other editors because we have more freedom in Elementor; in block-based editors, we seem to be more limited, so I can't get used to it. But overall, this new theme and editor is excellent for simple websites and non-elementor guys :D

[@chadbarney4612]

Thanks Adam and great timing! I'm pumping the breaks on a couple of projects. Looking forward to your Pros and Cons video tomorrow. Very interested in your take on this.

[@RR-ok4wz]

Wow, this is actually quite impressive. After watching your video, I'm much more inclined to use the block based theme editor, depending on the site, of course.

[@toddwmac]

Thanks Adam. I like the direction WP is headed. UI extensibility @ the block/module level is huge. Combine that with with the rise of almost flawless "robocode" generation and transformation, and the WP world definitely changes almost overnight. It will be fun to watch how the eco system responds. Now, if WP gave us an easy way to hook into the block UI and drive it programmatically, every thing really changes. "Hey [fill in your favorite programming AI], modify the center top image block to spin when I mouse over it but only on Mondays." We can almost do that today, and we will be doing it in the near future. Appreciate you content.

[@webcare_live]

Thank you for sharing this insightful video on WordPress 6.2! As a long-time WordPress user, I'm thrilled to see the platform evolving to make website building even more streamlined and efficient. I also appreciate the valuable information you've shared about the Spectra theme. It's clear that this theme offers a lot of potential for creating truly stunning and engaging website experiences. Keep up the great work!

[@dznlabmkt]

Thanks for your video Adam. Always a great way to be inside the loop about WordPress stuff. I've used Elementor for about 5 years now and although I hate the yearly subscription plans they force on us, I don't think I'll be changing my design/production process any time soon.

[@GreggThorpe]

Same position with Elementor. Agreed.

[@JonathanBaileyn2u]

Well said, I feel this way about Divi.

[@themedleb]

The new site editor is only the beginning, we better get ready for it.

[@dznlabmkt]

@@themedleb I agree... we can't be left behind. But I still think other plugins will incorporate this better than WordPress - like they usually do

[@StefTechSurfer]

A lot of templates too

[@Hexspa]

I’ve been using it. Once you get straight on blocks, patterns, synced patterns, templates, and template parts it’s easy.

[@MatthewSeligman]

I like the Fluid Typography and some of the menu controls (logo in center) but from first glance the interface seems like many more clicks than with Elementor.

[@tobiaslofi]

Thanks I had given up following WordPress years ago and I hadn’t seen or heard anything about this very interesting new direction!

[@kmanikin]

Thanks for the overview. Some sites just don't need heavy Elementor-type editors. I look forward to seeing your theme recommendations.

[@vjdevkar]

Thanks for keeping us informed about all the exciting changes coming to WordPress! I'm sure it will inspire designers and developers to be more creative and innovative with their website designs.

[@pedroarruda7878]

Amazing!! I'm a Joomla user from years. We contact a developer Company to analyse our site and they purpose to change to a WordPress. Thank you is a good reference information.

[@dr.gregoryf.maassen2637]

This is a valuable video as it introduces WP starters to the power of a page builder. It undoubtedly will give people greater opportunity to tailer pages and I am sure that blocked themes will be more popular soon. It certainly is not a replacement for a professional, conversion based platforms like Thrive Themes, which we use, as this offers so much more functionality than block based editing. To answer your questions, it will not replace professional page builders, but most likely incentivize developers to improve their offerings. It will introduce novices to the page building concept and potentially increase market opportunities for developers to improve existing page building platforms. With AI becoming widely available, it is just a matter of time for intelligent page theme builders to enter the market. Eventually, WP will catch up on this as well, but it will take a few years if history is an indication. Thanks for an excellent video.

[@rev.pattysacredwalkhome]

Thanks Adam for this great update. Yes, I am going to dive in to the new block editor.

[@TheFreedomToParent]

I absolutely love the new block editor! This is a real game changer in WP. Great rundown on it :) thanks!

[@EricBright250]

It's always a pleasure to learn from the "master". I have discovered a ton of tricks I didn't know before. Thanks.

[@adeolaalabi7475]

Love it, just switched to a block based them yesterday, and its so extensible and customisable.

[@pritisarwade3087]

Thanks for the amazing insights as always, Adam!

[@sikandarmushtaq48]

Yeah thankful for sharing Sir, a lot of features are missing in elementor and other builder, but spectra is providing those missing feature love it ❤❤❤

[@morizanova8219]

really like this wp version and spectra one block theme . Very intuitive for people like me who almost 5 years not creating any new website . Waiting for tips video how to maximize combo power between spectra builder and spectra one. Thanks again for this video

[@mazidahlawal2955]

I love this tutorial. I will be using it in my next project. Thank you

[@Fernando-li4uv]

This is by far the best video on WP. Kudos, my friend!

[@webguynick]

Wow, these new WordPress block themes are like a breath of fresh air! I'm so excited to revamp my website and make it look sleek and modern. Time to say goodbye to the boring old themes and hello to the new era of WordPress design. Who's with me?" 🎉🚀💻 #WordPress #BlockThemes #NewEra #Excited

[@TerenceKearns]

I've been using DIVI for years. I am definitely going to try this. I might even switch to it. Great video!

[@supkornpookapun]

This is great. WP's block theme is the same as Elementor's container I think. Sure I will try this. Elementor is great but sometimes too many features to learn and use.

[@triciaisham4701]

For sites already built with a page-builder, are there any considerations to make before updating?

[@Practical-IT]

I'm very much looking forward to the 6.2 release and testing out the Spectra One theme.

[@NazmusLabs]

Alhamdulillah this is amazing! May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen!

[@AnbarasuAnnamalai]

Thank you, it is much interesting. Will try to use this my next work

[@godtosinify]

Wonderful Upgrade to WP. Thanks Adam! You're always insightful. 👍

[@carlvanderpal5321]

End of page builders? Ya, I think not. Most devs I talk to hate the block builder cause it’s utterly crap, and for clients they hate it too, since it’s so confusing for them. Page builders will be here to stay, as WP themselves (hopefully) won’t shoot themselves in the foot by wiping out a whole industry.

[@GrantSpoon]

Good video Adam. Cool new features. Will be looking at this soon. Eager to see your fse theme comparison video too.

[@stef2282]

A lot of web developers write off WordPress in 2023 but its actually brilliant at managing content & super user friendly vs Optimisley etc

[@ryanbergz5642]

You guys always say this. End of page builder, blah blah blah. Yet, more page builders emerge that are way more powerful like breakdance and cwickly.

[@LtTheXamax]

agreed

[@JoeGator23]

You'd be wrong. Elementor's over-priced framework makes it absolutely impossible to keep up with Gutenberg and it's future improvements. Keep believing the hype and spending extra money on slow software pumped up with expensive boosted server accounts for lesser results... Think about it, why would your clients want to pay more for a dinosaur? Once the word gets out, they will find another designer offering better sites that run circles around Elementor's obsolete offerings.

[@fjuraa]

well in his defense, it was a question, probably used as kind of a clickbait

[@MinisterRedPill]

Page builders are trash. Stop being cheap and hire a professional web developer

[@WPCrafter]

I am not saying this, I am asking this. That is very different :-). Many things remain to be seen.

[@cryptouncle848]

Thanks a lot for the video. Very informative, great work. Thanks again.

[@joybox-ph1bk]

Excellent thanks for the update. Good video, good job.

[@zookeeny]

Good stuff.... thanks! Would love to see a review video of your top block-based free WP themes (with pros/cons). 🙂

[@dizzler-beats]

great in depth and easy to follow tutorial, thank you !

[@teddymulyana5165]

Crazy super helpful -- this block theme and You!, three thumbs up from Indonesia.

[@Biancorp]

Great job on getting out this video Adam.

[@GrantAmbrose]

The ability to permanently show the Outline while typing is going to make writing larger blog posts a lot easier

[@BrainstormForce]

2:13 Spectra One Theme spotted 👀 Thanks for publishing this video, Adam. Insightful video, as usual :)

[@wporigami]

The comment section is almost as interesting as the video, it feels like a personal attack or threat for a lot of your viewers. I'm personnally very glad of the choices they have made on the long run, things are easier. Skilled people doesn't want or see that

[@adeolaalabi7475]

It's even more accessible now with very little barrier to entry

[@cbr600grl]

For truly knowledgeable devs it will never be a threat. Builders like Bricks is the only one to get things done right.

[@susangemayel-tapper3794]

Thanks Adam for sharing!

[@bay4550]

Thank you very much for your GREAT video. 🙂

[@gamexpc]

Great showcase on 6.2. Looks exciting

[@TheDocufilm]

Will have to compare this to Elementor and see.

[@victorfrancis6479]

once again great tutorial

[@vznquest]

i ditched Divid for Blocks about a year ago, and now i'm FLYING in my design/publishing process.

[@Tech-Dev]

Cheers for this info.

[@KaiBuskirk]

Love it ! Thanks Brother!

[@seoverus7805]

Thanks for Update. Heads up for the new AI integrations coming soon from other publishers. Using text to describe a site layout & boom...Its not that far away.

[@MatthewDHenderson]

That stylebook is huge!

[@MatthewDHenderson]

Global style is also cool

[@MarioVillamizar]

Thanks for your videos, they are really good. Have you ever been told that you look like Austin Powers Wordpress Dr. Evil.

[@john_doe1st]

I will be using this, I like testing new stuff anyways.

[@flemmingss]

I am going for the block themes for sure!

[@kylabutler2195]

Thank you so much!

[@bobans]

As a UI designer going from figma to wordpress will be a dream.

[@Rodkidesings]

Very amazing update!!

[@jessicasteele2761]

Thank you!

[@cryinkfly]

Thank you very much for this informative video and the news! 👌

[@joelatmcdwebworks]

It certainly keeps improving. Tried taking a block theme for a spin in 6.1.1. As a Beaver Builder user, I wasn't impressed. I know it takes time to learn new things, but I don't find the WP settings to be intuitive. Too many unexpected results when changing settings. I also think folks are going to be frustrated by what features are core and what features are theme-based. The interface doesn't make it clear. I would love to get closer to the metal and use block themes, especially for the performance improvements I've been hearing about, but it's just not there yet.

[@sbtl1746]

Wow. Wordpress for non techies...how about for pre-non techies...this is advanced stuff man. thorough video anyway. will check back later, thanks a bunch.

[@BBZM]

This is crazy, wow.. 👍

[@WPCrafter]

Yes and all coming in one week, all core, all free. Just wait until WordPress adds multi-user editing like Google Docs, that will be a nail on the coffin of building tools.

[@kevinsmak]

Very interesting, really curious about the speed gain, I’m assuming Wordpress built in theme will be faster. Guess we will see.

[@wasserbesser]

Wordpress improved now finally.. but it still sucks to create websites, especially with Gutenberg - THE EXPERIENCE SUCKS!!!!!

[@yogeshsambare]

Look's promising Adam 👍

[@95beats46]

Will Spectra theme or Spectra builder support empty divs, classes and pseudo classes, conditional logic, a repeater/query builder, flexbox and css grid, custom units, custom breakpoints etc. ?

[@WolfsongSA]

Looks interesting but I will stick with Divi for now

[@lilyleon1475]

There is only one thing worse than blocks and that's Divi. No, I tell a lie, it's WP Bakery, but Divi is not far off

[@AlafGaniIT]

Nice Work!!! ;)

[@Joedebengaluru]

Will be sticking with Elementor for now and for evermore . . .

[@JLDURON]

Simply WOW!

[@joaquingarciaalonso8180]

great video!

[@SalfordCharityWorker]

I'm making the switch to a block based theme ASAP

[@arteytics]

Wonderfull I am justo strugling with muy first web in Word press. It is madre with Astra theme, but I have proved spectra editor, an then changed to elementor.

[@berolinastrassmann]

Thank you. This looks great to start a new website. As a newbie who wishes to switch from an existing new builder...how do you go about it? How can i create new pages using this block theme without taking my old (page builder based) website offline? Is there a video from you on this? Might be useful to on techie newbies like me. Thanks Adam!

[@immdaad]

Its amazing

[@emmanuelmoses3008]

Awesome 🎉🎉

[@DatingDilemmaBreakdown]

I used it on my new blog... Which right now is hosted on a free host... until I upgrade to Divi when the blog get traffic / first leads. It works but the UX is pretty bad... It's OK for basic stuff but overall, can't even remotely be compared to something like Divi.

[@MehediHasan-nl4cd]

Awesome 🎉❤

[@jamescapers2645]

Adam, I like the idea and concepts in the new WordPress block themes. It saves me searching every page item with Inspect and going to customizer to build my site-wide customizations. Question: Do the edit options allow or include gradients?

[@esperandounmejorcielo4385]

gracias por el aporte!!! que buen video. ME gusta mucho que wordpress por fin este avanzando en el tema del constructor ya que lo tenia muy lento, pero ahora veo que va a avanzar muchisimo en su estructura y rendimiento, es una gran noticia para los que disenamos pagina y nos toca estar comprando muchos plugins que salen muy caros y si este es el nuevo perfomance de wordpress la sacara del estadio!!!!!!!! que buena noticia. Comparte tambien que plugins podriamos necesitar para acompanar este grandioso avance de wordpress, que no solo sean para comprar, si no mas bien que nos eviten comprar tantos plugins

[@abeccinco4525]

El Ingeniero Mendoza debería considerar participar en el Ministerio de Agricultura, aprender a gestionar y podría llegar hasta ser ministro con alguien con sus conocimientos, impetu de investigación y sentido común la agricultura peruana daría un pasp grande hacia su desarrollo.

[@cyberqueen777]

First time watching a video about creating a WordPress website. Great info, but now what? How and where do we go to start the process? That would have been a handy piece of information. I see all the links in the description - not sure which one to click on. ?

[@MBZMaster]

How to set up the staging for an existing website if my hosting company doesn't offer it? Thank you.

[@squiggy1966]

Is it going to have features that page builders have, like a popup maker, forms, etc etc? I dont want to go back to adding extra plugins for features that this builder lacks but are already built into elementor.

[@malcolmdsouza8527]

Nice! Thanks for breaking it all down for the newbie. Waiting for in-line editing now. Also waiting for driverless cars. One can only hope. Is Kadence and 6.2 compatible?

[@GeorgesEmanuelHurubaru]

Looks good. How about Page Speed Loading? How much does new blocks are better than Elementor blocks?

[@ZymeAway22]

Very good upgrade for sure! Question? I want to create several online courses, do you have a tutorial for that using this newer version of WP6.2?

[@bytemarcz]

Might need to look into this? Will I need a business subscription with this?

[@tommytowns8562]

Thanks for this video. I just started using it this week and was starting to get a little frustrated because I wasn't sure how some of it worked or where some things had gone to. The menu was especially confusing at first. Of course I could have read the documentation, but who really does that?
