is there any Gutenberg block so i could put multiple texts inside it so the texts fade in and fade out one after another ?
Hi there dear buddy. Youre so cool: – Thanks a lot for the Gutenberg-Intro! I am excited!
I'm curious about this release the long awaitet version 6.4
i – can ´t wait to get it :)😇😇😇🐶🐕🐱🐈🌺🌺🌺🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Hi Paul, can we use several of these plugins together on the website to take advantage of some features that the other plugin might not have? Is there a possibility in that case that one plugin causes problem to another when creating pages?
I´ve been trying Greenshift for months without success. I love the template site and animations but it is really complicated to work on compared to Kadence Blocks, Spectra, and Stakeable.
Is there any single free Gutenberg plugin which offers slider, woo product caresoul, mega menu and product social share? If not, suggest for elementor
I started with hand coding sites. My ideal system is to be able write out in code form but allow client to easily edit content as needed. These GUI drives me nuts
Hey Paul have you tried Plus Addons for Gutenberg? Some crazy blocks there

Would love to see another version for this video but for Guttenberg or Block based theme
Truly nice content!
Paul… I'm not completely clear on how GenerateBlocks (which I'm considering buying) is NOT a "page-builder." I get that it integrates into the WP menu/feature systems more naturally. I own Oxygen, but want to try to get closer to native WordPress. Is Generate somehow tying into the Gutenberg programming directly or something – in some way that Oxygen isn't? I know Oxygen has a Gutenberg editable plug-in… so I'm kinda not gett'n the technical difference. If you add on plug-ins, and the features/functionality is not provided by Gutenberg, how is that more "native"? Is it lighter weight in that it only adds on a few little functions – in lieu of taking over your whole interface and being a site builder on top of WP? Is it that they are only simple additional tools designed to work seamlessly in concert with Gutenberg blocks? Appreciate any clarity. Thanks for all the info btw. Nice vids! 😉
is there a way to build a image-text overlay slider with the free version of stackable wp?
Thank you for the insights. But you didn’t mention which ones are good for website performance and which with the minimum amount of bugs?
been a kadence pro customer since day one, using it in tandem with toolset for dynamic data, several (good looking and functional) websites, but now, with FSE, moved to greenshift and ACF/Jet Engine + webhooks pro.
Comparing with what had before, it's like having superpowers.
Sure there is a learning curve and takes some time, but one get's "adobe level" (or "apple level") design websites + "the ability to integrate with everything, from SAP to Dynamics365…" in wordpress
GenerateBlocks <3
Maxiblocks WILL have a pro version. They announced it to the mailing list.
After a lot of testing I settled on Bricks but it was a very close call between that and Cwicly. Seemed to have the best price vs features, customer support, development cycle. It was the closest I could get to developing with Gutenburg without wanting to pull my fingernails out 😂
Glad to see such a maturing buffet of Gutenberg tools available. Thanks for curating and compiling the menu!
AFAIK, Spectra used to be Ultimate Addons, not Essential Addons (3:50).
I tried them ALL. Generate Blocks is excellent and solid. But the one I really settled on was Cwicly. I didn’t find the UI that complex. Quite the contrary I prefer it to all others. You can combine it with any theme you like. It is incredibly powerful but by no means overwhelming. What really sold me was the support and their forum. The dev releases an update once a week and is very active in the forums. If you encounter a bug or even request an additional simple feature he will include the bug fix or that additional feature a few days later in an update.
I am confused by your choice of including Maxi Blocks and Cwicly here. Both override the standard Gutenberg block editor interface with their own, neither in a pleasant way. Maxi Blocks replaces the standard block toolbar with there own and does not seem to play nice with plugins that add block options (I suspect Cwicly is the same). Cwicly removes the block type above the block settings (boy does this suck), and seems to limit what types of blocks you can add (not in the spirit of Gutenberg). They both seem to have gone off in there own way and at least to me, in a way that does make them feel like part of the WordPress Gutenberg experience. This completely overrides for me any other benefits they might have, I want my block plugins to play nice with each other and provide the same general feel.
Greenshift is the only one with the potential to be the Next Elementor. They only need to step up their marketing budget and strategy.
Hi Paul, you could added one to your list The Plus Addons for Gutenberg Block Editor, it worth checking
