WordPress 6.5 explained in 250 seconds 🔥

Finally blocks have features introduced in Elementor V1... I still don't get why blocks editor exists and why it was forced into Wp core...

@@DogmaPromotion I am new to WP, I've been manually programming web sites. I am not sure what you are saying and I want to learn. So are you saying WP now has features that already exist in Elementor? And are you asking why blocks editor is default editor in WP? Is that true? Blocks is default? Are you saying we should edit WP themes with other editors or just not use WP themes, and use third party themes and third party editor?

@@jamiewp I posted this to another comment but I will copy to you for clarification. In all the fundamental discussions about WP, the very basics are sometimes overlooked. I come from a past of using HTML in text editors, using Cold Fusion, HomeEdit, Pagemill and CMS WYSIWYG editors. I was out of web design for years but am getting back into it due to demand from my graphic arts clients. Here is my other post, responding to DogmaPromotions and his comment about Elementor.

Bro, can you do a video on Dating Website? Many thanks.

thank you 🙏

Cheers Mike 🙏

Thank you Ossama 👍

Thank you from me and the cats 🐈 🙏

You too !

Yup they are my favourite feature 👍

👍

Thanks 😀 I haven't seen a free alternative out there yet, but you should buy Block Injector 😉

Yup 👍

My pleasure 😇

Super tks

Super thanks 🙏

Thanks Richard, yup i really don't like to hear people using that term , for me it's really disrespectful to the hard work that people are putting into it. Like it or don't like it , that's 100% fine but personally i'd wish people would have more nuance in their conversations. But maybe because I have a plugin business I have a different perspective to those people that don't

Thanks for the like and subscribe - I'm not aware of a FSE reference atm - one issue is that it's changing quick quickly as it develops.

Hmm sounds like something else is causing this - do you have any plugins active?

Yup 😁

Could you clarify the question?

One website uses Kadence block theme(free version) and another website uses TT4. I know some obvious benefits of being on core theme rather than a 3rd party theme, but what else? What is the main objective of using TT4 instead of the Kadence block theme or any other? Asking as it has a steep learning curve. Will my TT4 website load faster than kadence website if both built same?@@jamiewp

Can you share a screenshot of the type of design you are going for ? There may be a better way.

I’ll add screenshot and then separately explain.

RU-vid won’t let me add a screenshot, only a video which seems excessive😂. However, I’ll give it a try and see what happens.

Just did one second video and it went someplace but not here😮😂!

I see it’s in my videos on my “channel”😳

Thanks 🙏

Thanks 🙏

Yup 👍

🙏👍

I'm making one called Mastering Block Themes

@@jamiewp And so will not need other themes like elementor for the most part of a website?

@@nationalibus9896 Yes exactly

@@jamiewp Let me know where!

@@jamiewp Let me know where’s that!

Im not aware of any page builders that have anything like pattern overrides ?

@@jamiewp divi

@@ErikGeurts tks do you have a link? I couldn't find.

👍

Hi Mel, for some of them yes (but not all)

thx jamie.@@jamiewp i thought so. hope all is well.

@@MelTaylor 👍 i'll try to add in the description what is just if you are using a block theme

thanks - they exist if you are using the Gutenberg plugin (not yet in core)

Try the latest beta 👍

Nope

Hi Peter, could you give me a little more detail ?

@@jamiewp Sure! For example when you convert from 2019 theme to 2023 theme the menu will be allover the place so one has to reorganize the menu among other things. If I try to convert from 2023 to 2024 with the wp version I have now the same will happen. The menu has to be reorganized. Will the WP 6.5 version facilitate the conversion between themes. I know that one of your colleagues told me that when 6.5 is coming I should be able to convert to 2023 without having to reorganize the menu. I have already done the conversion to 2023 but would like to use the 2024 but are hesitating because I don't want all the problems that comes with it.

Great question - the cover block has some additional settings that the group doesn't have e.g background image aspect ratio, an easy way to position text, fixed background image support

@@jamiewp So we can just use Cover as always 😅

@@EliasGomezPro Yup 👍

Apparently they’ve been bumped to 6.6 which makes me very sad

@@jamiewp I was just about to update you on that...

Yup 😬 video coming out on monday about that

Its a good nose

Good idea but there’s really only Gutenberg updates 🤔

@@jamiewp Exactly. And nobody dares speak up against Matt. Gutenberg is a solution to a problem that did not exist. There are a lot of page builders, and from what I have heard from conflicts before, this is just a way to try to take over the builder market. But even free builders have better interface. But the really big thing nobody is talking about is what happens after you hand over the site to the customer. And a secretary will do the day to day content creation - the blog section. Gutenberg is useless. This person is not building different pages each time. That Frankenstein monster will be a serious block. An improved version of the old editor is the correct tool. Something that looks remotely like editors they are used to. Word, WordPad etc.

@@SveinWisnaes Yup i talk about client handover all the time :) I've spent the last 14 years training beginners face to face on WordPress so i know the pain points incredibly deeply. But I have to say in my experience of teaching beginners 99% of them love Gutenberg, and that definately couldn't be said of the old editor. Again this is just my experience, but i don't think there's anyone out there that has personally trained as many people as me. 100% agree it has some pain points for folks, but I am talking about that....check out this weeks live stream I rand with Brian Coords ru-vid.comehhmnpjc7Fc?si=dPpEX0iFtR3PV7OQ

@@jamiewp The question is who you hand off to. Same as when desktop publishing came. It took decades for people to understand that they are not educated in graphic design or font choices. A blogger should not use a page builder. They need a pure text editor. Same reason they use Word instead of InDesign. 😊 Have you found any editor for writers that look even remotely like Gutenberg?
