Wordpress Gutenberg 5.0 FIXES For Divi, Elementor, and Brizy! + My Response To Wordpress 5.0 Update

[@darrelwilson]

Hey guys! Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any experiences with wordpress 5.0 and how your new experience is with gutenberg!

[@RahulPereiraForwardThinking]

Hello Darrel what about classic press, is it better to go that route I would love to know your thoughts on this, Love you tutorials thank you for your time

[@rickyfacey7137]

Darrel Wilson does the flatsome theme work with the new wordpress update and can you do a video on the flatsome theme with Wordpress?

[@julienckjm7430]

So shall we update to wordpress 5 now? I'm still waiting for your "green light" (I'm using your recommanded flatsome theme)

[@SandraLemming]

Darrel thanks so much mate for the type on how to fix the Divi so we can use the classic editor. You would not believe the stress you have saved so many of my non technical clients who like to be able to make small changes to their sites. Oh and me to I do not like the visual builder hahahaha #solutions

I realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?

[@davidpaul4621]

Darrel, People always will resist change. I think Guttenberg was a result of direct competitors like Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Shopify etc. These newer platforms make it easy to build websites using drag and drop elements. It's makes sense for WordPress to integrate this same design technology into it's tool chest. By the way a lot of pluggins really are just WP hacks or works around if you really think about it. developers are copying other devs codes and re-selling or re marketing tools and functions as well. I agree it's kind of an uncontrolled mess in this regard, and a major distraction to some level when working with WP for beginners. There's thousands of options, and hundreds of people pushing different products/plugins. But it also allows WP to evolve and grow faster as well.

[@rizon72]

The biggest problem with Gutenberg was too much change too fast. Many log on to create or update and ended up wasting a lot of time or giving up because everything wasn't easy to find and they don't have the time to waste like you might. I played with it for a month, hate it. I have to do more and take longer just to do a simple page than I had in the past. Installed classic and no more wasted time.

[@manavmuthreja4085]

I'll start crying, this worked i am using DIVI saw you video on the CUSTOM E-commerce Shop PAGE and couldn't get the page builder to work THANKYOU SO MUCH *happy tears fall*

[@darrelwilson]

Thanks again for the nice comment :)

[@MrJohn-wy2hn]

Gutenberg is a good idea, the problem is that they forced it on us. People should be given the choice to accept it or not. Have it as a default plugin where people can delete it if they don't want it rather than having it in the core.

[@darrelwilson]

i agree, i dont think a few people should decide these things either

[@Moximaxius]

@@darrelwilson It's already a thing known as ClassicPress which is a modified and enhanced version of WordPress (without Gutenberg) only issue is it may fall behind as developers may stop ensuring plugins work with the old back-end editor.

[@darrelwilson]

its true, but i dont know how well its supported

[@tal7913]

Agreed, I think gutenberg 5.0 was a rushed, mismanaged and irresponsible update. I mean they should have tested it with other themes or plugins prior launch. Why launch a buggy update that will cause a ton of websites to crash. Also after updating you need to install classic editor just to find issues in your website, why. Wordpress interface deserved an update or overhaul but not like this. Wordpress is still considered a favorite CMS but future users may consider of finding other alternates because of this.

[@lhotse54321]

Your opinion about the situation in WordPress is absolutely relevant. Clear and simple. Very very interesting video, everything was said and perfectly explained. It's good to hear that, and i think the same. Gutenberg was a necessary evolution and almost natural but the decision was taken without consensus, and this proves that the development of the WordPress core is "centralized". WordPress is by its immense and international use become software whose core developers must take into consideration the opinions of thousands of developers all around the world. Obviously this idea of total decentralization is probably utopian since there is no precedent in the history of computing. WordPress is an ongoing experience, and the most important thing for me is that there must always be a completely free version. Gutenberg will be a competitor of Divi or Elementor in a few years, and it will probably be free. So Gutenberg is a step towards free, see things positively. But I share your opinion on the heresy of leaving the power of decision in the hands of a few developers related to Wordpress.org.

[@TonySousa]

Hi Darrel, thanks for your video. De-activating all the plugins and re-activating one at a time to see which is conflicting with your page builder is really a pain. I agree with you. My 2 cents on Gutenberg: both my two websites were updated to Gutenberg (I had no choice). I have now been using the Gutenberg editor for the past 3 weeks and I am pleased to report that I am quite impressed with Gutenberg. As you stated "it is a better editing experience". I am not going back to the classic editor, I am very happy to continue with Gutenberg. Again, thanks for your video. TT

[@skeptimedia1093]

Thanks Darrel Wilson so much for your help. it is one of the many times when your video help me sort out my problem with divi. my backend divi builder was not working and as you have said in your video it is pain in the butt... it is... it is my habit to watch your video 1st instead contacting the ET. I think they should hire you or at least pay you if they are not already.. :) Regards from Pakistan...

[@KervensGertilus]

Do you think you can show us how to add apple pay and google pay on e-commerce stores

[@rodcostav]

Fantastic video. I'm not updating to Wordpress 5 until after the new year. My site runs WPML + DIVI + TagDiv Newspaper and there is no way it's going to be a smooth drive before they fix at least the biggest bugs in there. I admire your courage :-)

[@kingsleychukwuma5581]

Can I still build my new site with the old WordPress version?

[@christianlecuyer6380]

I agree with you :) I have installed "classic editor" on all my websites and will be waiting for WP5 to fix all the future bugs before I use it...

[@nourishingelements]

I have a website that I built with WordPress and the oceanwp theme and I used elementor as my page builder. When I click to switch to the default WordPress editor I get a message that my website might break so I don't go there. Do you have a video on how to deal with that? Or can you easily tell me it's ok to go there?

[@caninnovatepodcast1925]

the new update of wp is soooo confusing... I can't see any of my plugins especially smart podcast player shortcode builder.. i don't see any "enable classic editor" options and everything else is a mess..

[@zachscombat]

My classic editor isn't working.

[@GrandDeluxeGaming]

Did u ever make a video about why u changed from siteground to hhostgator? Also if I was to delete a mysql database from my cpanel, can I retrieve it back assuming I have not back up yet.

[@darrelwilson]

i had a problem with their hosting and also with their affiliate program :(

[@isabelphillips451]

Siteground affiliate has been working well for me and I kindly love their shorter payout period then bluehost

[@draiganlefebvre453]

i dunno why the fak he would do that. hostgator sux man. greengeeks have been really good to me. they have a server here in canada

[@ashkanahmadi]

Hi Darrel. Can you please make a video showing how to have a product with the option to be picked up from the store with zero shipping and flat-rate delivery option. Most videos on this are horrible or don't show the whole process.

[@lunalocacb]

Is Flatsome having any specific type of issues or what plugins are not compatible? I am having photo/media and syncing issues....any clues as to what to be looking for or heading towards?

[@jasonj9513]

Hi Darrel is Flatsome safe to upgrade too?

[@PascalParent]

I found that Elementor is very slow on Wordpress 5.0 to the point that I rolled back, the Classic Editor fixed some of the issues. Thanks for the useful videos.

[@darrelwilson]

thanks again!

[@motionsportsapparel1054]

We still haven't upgraded to 5.0 or 5.1 yet. We just got everything sorted out and working well by switching our host, now they want us to upgrade. I'm really apprehensive about doing this.

[@jbaron41]

Thanks, Darrel for this follow up on word press 5.0 I agree the decisions shouldn't just be made by a handful of people

[@gnaneswarnookala6813]

I am using ionmag theme just like newspaper theme some of the edits that I make are taking too much time to publish after the update

[@andrew72587]

I agree with you Darrel. I dont even want to update at all. Im barely starting to learn Wordpress, Elementor, etc... i like 4.9 version. Doesnt "BUG" lol at all. Im staying classic thats until i HAVE TO SWITCH.

[@agustinjuarez-garcia4801]

Bro I do not understand the new editor for my blog post, I used elementor, and I can not figure our pictures, videos, can I go back to the old editor, how do I do that, once I again, I am using elementor

[@tom4398]

Come on dude!!🙄...Classic Editor Plugin

[@jamescarter8821]

I agree WordPress needs to set up some guidelines for the developer who come in and try’s to take over.

[@LoneLeagle]

The woocommerce plugin is causing all of my page builders not to work. The page builders won't work while woocommerce is activated but they work fine when it's deactivated and I contacted woocommerce but they said that they will not help me because I don't have the paid version of the plugin.

[@YasienSarlie]

Did you upgrade to WP 5.0?

[@hillers54]

Fabulous info Darrel :)

[@vaddadichaitanya]

Hey Darrel, I love your videos. Infact you r the best trainer out there. Can you please make a video of Woocommerce website with WPBackery page builder? That would be very helpful. Thank you

[@wasserbesser]

Divi Builder ist the Best Site Builder out there for sure. The other ones are not as intuitive and featurerich like or don't have this nice workflow. Now Elegantthemes get rich, after the Guterberg Update :D Because it is really worth it to get Divi now. Gutenberg really really sucks in comparison.

[@darrelwilson]

ive always loved divi theme

[@DBCVC]

How about a video addressing plugins that aren't working like Elementor. They refuse to fix the url link in the Button icon you drag into a page. It doesn't work in the Paid or Free version of elementor. A pretty useful feature that doesn't work I would say. Many complaints out there on this not working. Maybe you could address a fix for this in one of your GREAT VIDEOS! Thanks.

[@mattsheekstri]

Isn't WordPress Open Source though, with many devs volunteering their time to contribute to core? So can it really be said that it is Matt's product? I really don't understand the relationship between Auttommatic and WordPress.org, just trying to learn here.

[@angius]

The fact that developers can contribute to a public repo, doesn't mean the repo owner has to merge their pull requests. Contributions to the core are also stifled due to Wordpress' obsession with backwards compatibility. The entire codebase is procedural spaghetti of a PHP mess, because it has to run on ancient PHP versions.

[@mattsheekstri]

@@angius Thank you. What would you suggest as an alternative to WP? I've been looking at Joomla and Webflow.

[@angius]

@@mattsheekstri I'm rather fond on Grav myself. That, or a self-written solution. If you need a more complete CMS, I have good memories of PHP Fusion, no idea how it's doing nowadays, though.

[@GrandDeluxeGaming]

Dude please represent us. Send an email to that guy. He really needs to hear this. It seems you know somehow he will watch this video. But u really need to contact him and email him on what you just on from this video.

[@MicaelBolognini]

Why shouldn't theme- and plugin creators be able to charge for a license of their product? As you are complaining over that Elementor asks you to buy a license.

[@marcindomanski5654]

Making changes only for changes is not good idea. Very simple example. You have text in text file. You copy this text to Gutenberg Editor. In editor you make some changes. Now you want copy all text back to text file. You press Ctrl + A / Ctrl + C and... this not working. You must select special action in hidden menu. And if you click "copy all content" in this menu, you get you text with additional tag mess. This is simple and very common situation and now this is a loot harder to do that before.

[@senithnal3444]

hi Darrel. your word is right.

[@angius]

Seeing the kind of spaghetti code that's used to hold Wordpress' backend with spit and string, I don't think they necessarily care about anything besides "but the UI is clean".

[@rizon72]

Best thing, download the classic plug in and you'll have your old editor back.

[@Cambiati]

You saved me! Thank you so much for the help.

[@darrelwilson]

you are welcome!

[@aliceleblanc7318]

Thank you, this video really helped me a lot!

[@darrelwilson]

thanks!

[@LifeofCreed]

Thank you!!!

[@borch2233]

Check the State of word speech kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGbFXoFoh9KriZo you are all allowed to use the older versions or alter WordPress to fit your needs.

[@darrelwilson]

This will eventually be phased out

[@entrepreneurfreedoms]

Thank you

[@GoodtoknowINFO]

[@tobuo]

Spit the Frog Out

[@fatherfinger]

IN THE END IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY IF YOU'LL GET YOUR CUT YOU WOULDN'T BE TALKING ABOUT THIS.

[@agustinjuarez-garcia4801]

This Update is pretty fucked up
