Thanks for the tutorial. The not applied global button changes to already added buttons makes clear one of the biggest problems with Gutenberg. How will you handle design changes after the site is build? Searching and replacing blocks manually can not be the solution. How to solve such global changes? Ideas?

thanks, but I have a question 1) now I am using the Astra theme, do I need to remove it before installing blocksy theme? Again, which theme do you recommend me for blog article sites? blocksy or kadence? 2) while switching, what precautions should I take not to lose my backlinks already created or linked to my Elementor pages? 3) which block editor do you recommend me? Gutenberg block or kadence block? 4) I don't have many visitors on my site. Is only backing up my website enough? Or should follow additional procedure?

Hi thanks for this. Does anyone know what could be the cause of my image header (Edited from Page menu with gutenberg) is not showing up? I'm using Gutenberg with the Kadence starter template. The rest of the images are working beside the header image. My domain and hosting are by Google. The only overlay background colour that appears.

I already have 48 posts I made with Astrapro and Elementor Pro. Now I am trying to add Ezoic and they are suggesting that I remove these to improve speed, but to change over 48 posts seems like a heck of a lot of work. Will it help my site speed if I change say half of those? And then use Gutenberg going forward? If I deactivate them, does that mean I cannot edit anymore, the ones that are made with Elementor Pro and Astro Pro? This is very confusing. I wish I had known about the speed issue before I listened to the recommendations for Astra pro an Elementor pro.

make a duplicate of your site somewhere else, so you can work on the changes in a safe place, then once youre happy, overwrite the original site with your gutenberg version.

I had my site created just as I wanted in Elementor. Now, trying to change it over to Kadence. If you have a lot of blocks with 2 or 3 columns with text and images.. it is a total NIGHTMARE! I was hoping there was an easy way to change the blocks from Elementor blocks to Kadence blocks.. but I guess that was wishful thinking. I am going to have to manually rebuild EVERY SINGLE PAGE ON THE SITE.. NOT FUN!! 🙄

Astra pro is very nice, but Astra free doesn’t have as many functions as kadence free, I just wanted to focus on free stuff on this example to avoid forcing ppl to buy stuff - but for sure Astra pro is great - the main point was to get away from Elementor, the themes Astra and kadence are both really fast

I had my site setup exactly the way I wanted it using Elementor.. but now I have to re-do the eitire site if I ever expect it to show in the SERP'S. If your site is too slow.. Google will show the faster sites first! You will find yourself on page TEN.
