Poor Plugin and Support
by tomo55555·1 year ago
Some of the canvas block layouts are not available even after selecting > Canvas full width template > section > posts . For example, in the select the block layout, all the post sliders are missing. Full blocks, and some tab blocks.
Why is the last time you provided a support reply over 3 years ago?
Would be a good plugin if only it was supported properly – fixing the bugs – and the plugin developers responded to their customers support issues.
Plugin has great potential, but currently unusable.
Revolutionary block-based page builder?
by skylabb·1 year ago
I have it a try and didn’t see anything revolutionary about the blocks this plugin offers. The design settings are pretty much sub par compared to other major design block plugins. The heading block seems a bit funky as I had a had time entering the text in the text entry box. There’s much to be desired.
