I'm only 6 minutes in and this is already the most honest tutorial I've ever seen. You're not just selling us hype - you're giving us your genuine experience. Really appreciate - thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is the most helpful tutorial I have found! Perfect for someone who has worked with WordPress before and is frustrated by the Editor!!! NOW I FEEL READY TO USE IT :) THANKS!!
Thanks for this video Ferdy, I really also wondered where all the fonts had gone and how to add ones that we are used to using. I guess we all going to have to learn this new approach. You really put a lot of effort in this one, thank you.
I have surfed 10s of google ranked top WP tutorials but this one really looks very user-friendly. explained in a very simple way. Without any show-offs! Thanks for it!
It's crazy how much work you put in your videos! Thank you for this great tutorial! I always recommend your channel to my friends if some asks me about wordpress. All the best to you and your family!
Very glad to find this as I prepare to leave an old theme and the Classic editor. You helped clarify a lot of the confusing differences between block and non-block-based themes. Thanks, Ferdy!
Thank you for your fine work. Very recently I found FSE, so have been reading and watching videos (probably 4-5 today) and yours (while flying all over the place as video time went on) was by far the best. From your video here, I see how to remodel one of my sites for Glass Art and it will be far more useful and attractive. In closing, thanks for your efforts! Dave (retired by still love website work)
Hi Ferdy, You say in your video that you don't know how to change the headers height. Here's how you can do that. Click on the icon with the 3 bars in the top left. Under Group, select the first Row. Then you change the padding. First you unlink by pressing (-), so that you can change the 4 sides separately. Change PX of the first and third columns (that is, the top and bottom) to VA. All space in that row above and below is removed. If that doesn't work, do the same with the Row below this Row. I'm not a fan of Gutenberg either, but I was curious what you think of the new release. I quickly found the problem. Maybe it will help you.
Great video, I am just starting with WordPress. I have never built a website nor coded a single page, extremely non-technical user. I was just learning Elementor, and Divi basically.
Ferdy! your the best hope all is safe with your family....!! Please do more of this FSE demos.... Maybe if you have time..... Help Kadence Transitioners! (PLeeeeeeze) cheers, Kai
Thanks for this tutorial. I learned a lot! I got a little confused at first when you were going to your original website to grab content. Wait! What??? 😲I am updating my WP "classic" site and this video has been an enormous help. Subscribed!
Hello Ferdy - Absolutely wonderful video covering the exciting features of WP 5.9! Its so precise and concise. The presentation style was magnetic. Just had to hit the Subscribe button! Thanks a ton! !😳♥ Above all: - kee up your channel and never stop to make such awesome films - Thank you!😳♥♥♥
Thank you for the honest look at this new "Feature". Following WP core development these past couple of years has been like watching a carcrash in slow motion. Wordpress is no longer fit for agencie work. If the "full site editign" paradigm doesn't send a chill down your spine, i don't know what will. Just image all the marketing interns destroying hours worth of design from the professionals at the companys web agency.
Hello! I found something about the space under your figure (minute 33:12 of video). At every group that has background color, wp adds the style: .wp-block-group:where(.has-background) { padding: 1.25em 2.375em;} . So I tried to set additional CSS at customize: .wp-block-group:where(.has-background) { padding: 0;} and it worked for me!!
Good job Ferdy! Mooi alle mogelijkheden geshowd, en mee eens: Gutenberg is er nog niet, maar de block-based thema's/templates gaan wel de toekomst worden!
Gosh, you put in so much work, but I think it was worth it. Without your tutorials, many wouldn't bother to learn about Gutenberg. Many thanks for that. I only ask you for one answer: at minute 31:19 you change the column width, unfortunately I don't have that option (no button there). Do you maybe have a tip?
Ik bouw al jaren themes om voor klanten en geef ook les in WordPress aan MBO 4 studenten. Nu voor het eerst maak ik kennis met de editor. Dank voor je tutorial. Ben net bij je je navigatie stuk. Mijn hemel wat ingewikkeld allemaal!!! En dat zeg ik als ervaren editor. Als ik dit aan mijn arme studenten moet gaan uitleggen... Zal wel 'muscle memory' zijn, dus het betekent keer op keer doen, doen, doen, denk ik. Klanten die NOOB zijn wil ik dit al helemaal niet aandoen..... Ben benieuwd of ik er aan ga wennen. :)
Hey! Wat gaaf je je thema's bouwt. Deze tutorial is al meer dan een jaar oud. Ik heb laat de WordPress editor in actie gezien bij een agency! Wow! Het gaat echt wel de goede kant op met de WordPress Editor! Ik hoop er begin 2024 een tutorial van te maken!
Awesome video, Ferdy! It was my first look at 5.9 and I learned so much from watching this tutorial. Thank you for putting in the work, I'll definitely be checking out the rest of your work on here.
Hi Ferdy, It was an amazing video! I am very interested in trying out WordPress 5.9, and since some of my friends are thinking about starting their own websites. I will be helping them set up. I think your video will be invaluable in the process. I learned a lot about the full editing process, and I am looking forward to implementing it into my process. Thanks a lot for sharing such an in-depth video, it was a great watch, I will definitely share this within my network.
It definitely feels very laborious and tedious to work with. Using this as a viable page builder at the moment does not make me particularly excited just yet...
I think it will be the pre-build blocks that are designed especially for that theme. You don’t have to use them, but you can if you use that theme. At least, that is my view on how the themes will be made in the future. With of course a suggested layout
There is bug in wordpress 6.3. If you notice that there is gap in your block, try either specify "0" in spacing/margin/padding. spacing/margin/padding are using slider, move the sliders to another values. Let the value changed to your adjusted value. After that, adjust the sldiers back to zero again. That will set your spacing/margin/padding back to zero instead of the usual 40. You do not need to go to the CSS level.
All I've learned from this video is "don't bother... not yet". Don't get me wrong, you did an excellent job of explaining it all, well done! But this is way too convoluted a system right now with WAY too much broken stuff that can't be easily customised without going with a custom theme anyway (which kinda defeats the purpose) and has the potential to completely destroy your site's layout in a couple of clicks with no easy way back when (not if) you do. I can't even find an easy way to backup a custom layout so you can restore it when you do inevitably screw it up. Which means there's also no easy way to export from your dev site and import into your live site. I guess the WP devs just want us to experiment and gamble with our live sites or waste a bunch of time trying to figure out exactly what we did on our dev site and then do it again on our live site. It shows promise and I was really excited when I first heard about this system, but omg, no. Definitely no. Not yet.
Hi Ferdy , You´ve got to grab hold of the handles to be able to make the logo bigger or smaller! My main problem is how do I put pages and templates together, can you help me? Well, it´s a long video, I´ll have to look for it...
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you know if there are freelancers out there yet who are expert with FSE web development who could be a resource to me if I get stuck or need help with my specific FSE project?
Prrrety nice! Thanks Ferdy. I really appreciate your sharing the workarounds. I am not a designer but working with a theme demo. You have solved a LOT of my problems. Whew! One question I have that you touched on and mentioned workaround but didn't get to it is the website title in mobile mode. Can you help me please? My name doesn't show in two letter groups but in clusters of letters. It looks like the title H1 has spaces between letters. Is that the issue? I really appreciate your help with this. I am almost ready to launch but this bit is a real problem.
Hi Ferdy, thank you very much!!! What I don't understand yet is : if I create template-parts. For example a "middle part" - I see no option to put this part of the "puzzle" into a template. So as far as I understood it, a template consists of some template parts. But I found no option to - for example - create the template "normalpage" with the templateparts "header", "middlepart", "credentials" and "footer". Or is there something twisted in my thinking? Thank you very much in advance!
Great content Ferdy, much appreciated! I've been looking everywhere and cannot find a way to display the thumbnail of a RU-vid video as a post in same way as before. Before 5.9 I could choose a "Format" of a post (Standard, video, etc), now by default it shows the picture from the post but I want to display the Thumbnail and I can't find answers anywhere.
Most important is to check if it is a block based theme. And if you want the new way of editing, I think you have to select the feature full site editing when searching for new themes
In case anyone else runs into it. If you want to install Bricksy, you must have php-mbstring installed too. Else your entire site goes down and you have to manually change the theme back.
@Ferdy Korpershoek - incase you haven't figured this out yet; when in preview delete everything after the " *?* " - it puts you onto the main page and you can refresh. A further refresh help is, after that deletion, go into *developer mode* ; you'll get the bar at the bottom. When you want to *refresh* go to the *refresh button* , *click and hold* and you'll get an option to _clear the cache and hard refresh_ . And Thank you for the detail. Keep going. 221k to go
i have a Home Page Template (?) that's not showing up in Pages at all. In "Reading" under settings, it says that the homepage is set to displaying latest posts. It is not. I switch it to land on static page, but the 'Home page' is not availible in the list of pages. But it's there when i go back to the editor. ay ay ay ?? what to do
Hi, your video is very usefull but i just installed 5.9.2 and its not the same with a lot of things, i dont know why they keep changing its soo confusing
Hi Ferdy, with the new 5.9.2 upgrade, I cannot figure out how to change the font or background colors. The text color is also missing from the dropdown menu. Has it moved somewhere else? Can you share where I can find this info? Thank you
HELP! Using the new version and following your instructions. At 3:34 you click in "Page list: No pages to show" so that you can add the pages you want. In my wordpress it says "Page list: Cannot retrieve Pages." and if I clik on it it shows "Page List: Cannot retrieve Pages." and it's impossible to add any page to the menu. Can you please help me solving this?
