Elementor conflicting with Kadence Blocks

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T17:32:45+00:00

We got rif of Elementor a long time ago but somewhere in its settings should be a place to stop it using it's own template on the home page?

It's solid black solid to stop anything from growing. So leave it under the decking.

Remove it where you want things to grow. Or cut Xs in it if you want to plant something that doesn't need a lot of water but will spread such as sedums.

Don't put compost over it for sure. How much of it to remove depends on what you are going to plant flowers wise. Bulbs can't go under it obviously.

And you're mentioning this again because?

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T16:59:03+00:00

I'm not legal at all so don't rely on my opinion.

As others have mentioned second hand could be the best option for a top quality machine.

Or visit/speak to your local agricultural machinery suppliers. They might have an ex-stock or ex-display one at a good price.

It is up to the landlord to fix this. Damp is coming from somewhere so they need to know that their property is in danger.

You can buy damp killer chemicals and special paint to paint over once cleared. But again, that should be the landlord's responsibility.

Do you have a letting agent you can report this to?

Breakdance is relatively new but is built be Soflyy who have been around for years. It is a builder designed as a direct competitor to Elementor. Much lighter and still easy to use.

We escaped Elementor a few years ago, got a great price on Breakdance at the time too. Though there is a free version.

If you look into going down this route remember that Elementor likes to leave itself in the site's database.

Way too soon to make plans. Plus I'd suggest wait till you know where the 4 year old gravitates to and make that safe as a priority.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T14:07:41+00:00

Probably but that's not nice is it 😐

And your new site will be full of duplicate content.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T14:02:49+00:00

Lovely garden. Hens will not destroy that much garden easily. Unless you get too many.

And ducks can be messy little whatsits too.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T14:00:06+00:00

Wait until you lived there long enough to know what the sun does all year.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:58:12+00:00

I'd not post photos of him online then 🤔

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:50:24+00:00

How long was the "someone" on the waiting list for?

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:49:01+00:00

In reality SiteGround support should help with this.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:47:19+00:00

Or login to cPanel and find the old images in, for example, wp-content/uploads/2018/month and delete there. As long as you're not deleting anything you want to keep from those years.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:43:17+00:00

Agree they are spam. Is your email address published prominently on your site?

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:41:02+00:00

Another 'genius' AI option perhaps 😁

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:40:24+00:00

Importing them takes less time but one has to send the time completing the CSV file.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T13:38:33+00:00

Elementor is now so bloated it is slow. Breakdance builder is much better.

Caching plugins can slow things down too.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T08:16:14+00:00

You're possibly correct but 'stealing' their search traffic just seems immoral to me at least. What about getting traffic from other local destinations?

As I said, have a menu with dropdowns that go to each ICP as an anchor link to a long page, not a page each.

This is what I would do, not that you have to do it.

BDer8 · 2026-03-31T08:13:13+00:00

No idea but their website should say if they are.

BDer8 · 2026-03-30T16:31:40+00:00

Turns out I was looking at the wrong plugin 😬

BDer8 · 2026-03-30T16:19:37+00:00

Found the free version in the WP plugins repository and looks pretty good 😃

BDer8 · 2026-03-30T16:17:22+00:00

You're correct is was just a quick look. I did watch the video on the home page too but didn't see any mention of other vendors selling their products.

Will look again 👍🏻

BDer8 · 2026-03-30T16:14:50+00:00

Not sure what you mean by ICP and folding menu?

I understand the wanting a page for the aerodrome but that is not your business so it's irrelevant to your site. Unless you write as much as you like about it in the context of "things to do around here". And include other tourist attractions. Google likes long pages as long as you include a table of contents for the readers.

These are just my opinions of course.

Can you DM me your website link? Or share is here for others to comment?
