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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@KMSorifulIslamAdnan]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@kingof410]

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

[@tobiaslofi]

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

[@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

[@Hexspa]

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

[@kmanikin]

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

[@Fernando-li4uv]

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

[@teddymulyana5165]

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

[@rev.pattysacredwalkhome]

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

[@EricBright250]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@GrantSpoon]

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

[@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

[@Barry-View]

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

[@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!

[@adeolaalabi7475]

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

[@dizzler-beats]

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

[@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 ❤❤❤

[@TerenceKearns]

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

[@mazidahlawal2955]

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

[@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. ?

[@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.

[@kevinsmak]

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

[@jamess5542]

I don't seem to have the transparent header option that you have at 12:45 :(

[@MBZMaster]

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

[@anoopanthony]

@04:30 can we add this dark/light be added as a button to pages?

[@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.

[@godtosinify]

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

[@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.

[@zookeeny]

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

[@AnbarasuAnnamalai]

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

[@Biancorp]

Great job on getting out this video Adam.

[@NazmusLabs]

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

[@BrainstormForce]

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

[@cryptouncle848]

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

[@joybox-ph1bk]

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

[@Jude-e3b]

i installed and i dont see the editor tab or new features

[@susangemayel-tapper3794]

Thanks Adam for sharing!

[@gamexpc]

Great showcase on 6.2. Looks exciting

[@Practical-IT]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@MatthewDHenderson]

That stylebook is huge!

[@MatthewDHenderson]

Global style is also cool

[@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.

[@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.

[@ExtraCarrot]

I feel like it is not quite there already. do you recommend still going with pro plugins for now?

[@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.

[@Tech-Dev]

Cheers for this info.

[@victorfrancis6479]

once again great tutorial

[@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. ?

[@42redi]

So with WordPress 6.2, you can eliminate many plugins like Elementor Header & Footer Builder, Premium Addons for Elementor, Starter Templates etc?

[@breath-of-fire]

What about dynamic content Adam? Do the new block sites allow dynamic content like Elementor?

[@jamesneeser]

There's an option you can choose to show an element on a specific type of screen. Just make one set for mobile, choose to hide on desktop, then make another set and choose to hide that on desktop.

[@KaiBuskirk]

Love it ! Thanks Brother!

[@bay4550]

Thank you very much for your GREAT video. 🙂

[@stef2282]

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

[@Rodkidesings]

Very amazing update!!

[@vznquest]

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

[@DrColg8]

I signed up for a free wp site but have to upgrade to the paid version to use elementor. I can't upload any plug-ins with the free site, so it's worthless. What am I missing??

[@yogeshsambare]

Look's promising Adam 👍

[@johndavidclark2997]

I have struggled to replace Beaver Themer and Pods for dynamic custom post types. What would you suggest using for dynamic content on a 6.2 block-editor-based site?

[@WPCrafter]

I have to do some tests myself to see the best method. Of course all the block packages offer dynamic content in the different blocks, it's almost a standard thing now. But in the case where you don't want a block package, I believe most custom field plugins let you place a custom field in a shortcode. I need to test this myself. It would be smart of PODS and ACF offered dynamic content like the block packages do. But as you know PODS has no funding to its unlikely.

[@cbr600grl]

@john David Clark Bricks Builder 110% 🎉 and maybe throw in Metabox to replace pods

[@TheClaumigue]

@@cbr600grl If you use Bricks it is not a 6.2 block-editor-based site

[@zbiromax9228]

Hi . Thank you for your work, tutorials. I Have A Question. Do you know a CMS that works without a database? Such a flat CMS. Easy and fast to use. To create fast, lightweight static pages, business cards, landing pages and mini blogs. Something as intuitive as a text editor. Good day.

[@MrGetawebsite]

May i ask what , how does all this change the legacy theme concept in WP? I mean the standard theme structure, i have not built A WP site in a while and love the flexibility and usability of the software but i noticed the bloat page builder add

[@GIALONA46]

If I use the spectra one theme, I will lose my Astra Pro theme. Will I be able to work with the normal spectra page builder, or is what you are talking about different. Sorry, I am an old guy, which is new to me. I have been looking forward to Spectra Pro as I have the Astra bundle package, which comes free there.

[@markgolding71]

I'm in the process of switching back to block based themes, especially after wasting weeks on Elementor that is a nightmare to manage.
