Transitioning from ACF Flexible Content Fields to ACF Blocks

[@ChrisHaasForReal]

I've got 20+ years of agency experience and have been building WordPress + ACF FC sites for years now. I dabbled with the block editor, but never jumped in. This has been by far the best talk on transitioning. I've watched a lot of the JS-hype train stuff in the past, but this approach was way more practical. It is hard to blow everything up and start fresh, so showing that there's a transitional path that makes things incrementally better is awesome. I'm also glad you broached the subject of "do I need to support every block now", which was another pain point, and I like that you said it was controversial to disable things, but still a valid option, especially for those just getting started. Great video, great talk!

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely makes sense to take smaller steps into the block editor.

You are both so great at explaining complexity with clarity and empathy. I feel somewhat more capable (for now).

If your client is paying you to design their website, why would a (good) client *want to have options like page width?

[@BrianCoords]

There are all different types of clients with all different needs. Sometimes a client is a marketing team or has a designer in-house who wants a little more visual control over their website.
