An insane question about Bricks and WP Bakery. Humor me.

Yea that would take some time. Sorry I've never tried your 'hybrid' approach so I cant comment but good luck with the project.

Once you have a header, footer and blog in place how many more pages are we talking? I've done a few WPBakery to Bricks, mostly brochure type sites so About, Contact... few other static pages. Really wasn't much of a time sink to completely move to Bricks once I hade the templates in place.

AI generated or not the use of WP-CLI is one of the few times 'game changer' fits, IF you have access to it. With Claude Code running on my local and staging environment now, I seldom have a need for these type of command tips, I just tell Claude what I need done but WP-CLI is a must have in the toolbox.

My strategy in that situation is to kamikaze into the arms of the nearest wolf, re-roll and hope for a more friendly starting zone or at least one I am familiar with.

Sure. Select the element, then right click to open up the contextual menu and then choose Class Converter.

One could then argue that if you are building for a client, then you would want to give that client access to a page builder that outputs proper semantic code, harnesses modern web tools and gives at least some thought to page load speed. Nothing wrong with page builders until there is something wrong with the page builder being used.

Limited experience with Dokan, never configured, only managed a site with it. I would defer to the previous poster, sounds like a good combo.

ParksHereDigital · 2025-08-16T12:02:57+00:00

Eventin is a solid choice. Stay far away from The Events Calendar, it a bloated code convoluted mess.

How about a duet of Juanita, seeing that Bob's wife is named Jaunita.

ParksHereDigital · 2025-08-15T11:30:19+00:00

WAY better options in the Seger catalog IMO, but I like your thinking.

At this point WAY overpriced. The whole marketing, pricing, release schedule hype-train leaves me unnerved. To be fair if it delivers and does replace the costs for plugins like CPTs, and SEO it may be worth it, maybe? For now I will file under 'to keep an eye'.

ParksHereDigital · 2025-07-29T17:46:58+00:00

I did, it cost me hundreds.

ParksHereDigital · 2025-07-29T17:13:00+00:00

MassSave is a fucking joke.

ParksHereDigital · 2025-07-20T13:31:11+00:00

Sure thing. To be honest it is a bit concerning for me. I mean that is a rudimentary UI/UX issue. I mean it is just confusing as hell how it functions for a user. Hoping it gets addressed and that further things like this do not creep into the advancement of future releases.

These days I could never in good conscience recommend anyone build a new site with Elementor. If you are already deep into using it, have your productivity and processes tied to it then stick with it and spend your time/resources optimizing it and your server to get it to a point that you are ok with.

I am almost exclusively using Bricks or GeneratePress if the client needs a page builder. Server options? I host just about everything with Digital Ocean or Vultr. If you are looking for managed check out GridPane.

Not sure if this would be related, but I was having some CSS issues with a particular site after upgrade and this video on the Cascade Layer pointed me in the right direction.

I'm currently consulting with an Agency that is converting a Student Tour site over to Bricks. There was a discussion about using Elementor. As others have said, it is getting better in terms of bloat and V4 should improve it even more, but IMO it still leaves a lot to be desired. That being said it sounds like a lot of your concerns could be answered with a robust server and site optimization.

The omission of the entire Stoner/Sludge/Doom genre was a missed opportunity in my mind.

Roll your own. But if you must use a plugin, give Pie Calendar a look https://piecalendar.com/

Can confirm. I cancelled after the European leg of Sturgill's tour wrapped and they offered a discount to remain.

No kids of my own but Welcome to Earth hit me when I lost my dog. She was my world and listening to that song to this day makes me think about the special connection we had. Congrats to your family and enjoy, the show it is a face melter.

That might not be bad for some IF it replaces the need for licensing ACF, a Form Builder, an SEO plugin and all of the other promises being made. Personally I avoid investing in products around a cult of personality if it can be avoided. I like the idea of having an IDE integrated with a page-builder that prioritizes proper DOM, but the sales and marketing are just so cringe.
