To select parent in Bricks: Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + ←. It is possible to create custom pseudo-selectors in Bricks as well. Ex.: :hover i, :hover #brxe-uiqhml Bricks provides API to add controls to elements. So it is possible to add frequently used controls like font size, color in the CONTENT tab of elements like Heading and Basic/Rich Text for quick access. The benefit of needing to add root for custom CSS in Bricks is that we are not constrained to the current element. It gives us more freedom to write complex custom selectors that include the current element. Taxonomy query in Bricks' query loop is not for querying terms. It is for querying posts and filter by terms. That feature is available in Oxygen's advanced query builder as well. But yes, it is possible to query not only posts but other types of content liker users, taxonomies and any other data source in Bricks even data coming from external sources via API - but not using the method that's mentioned in this screencast. Oxy Toolbox has a Navigator module that provides 1-click access to directly switch to any Page/Template for editing with Oxygen via WP toolbar inside the editor.

Update: in Bricks you can make a container a link by changing the html tag to link.

This video has solidified my decision to sick with Oxygen. I will deal with the missing features that Bricks has but Oxygen still looks like the powerhouse here. Thanks for another great video, bruh!

Thank you, great video and well worth the watch. I'm an Oxygen advocate but after the BD release and resutling fiasco, I'm taking a hard look at Bricks which I've had for a while now but not done anything with up to this point. I will likely switch to Bricks when ACSS for Bricks drops, which should be shortly.

Great comparison! Thank you

Very well done comparison. I might suggest that for Bricks that you start by going into theme settings and go through and set all of the text sizes, styles, font etc before starting to build headers, pages etc.

Well done comparison. Will be testing bricks in the coming weeks.

As a nondeveloper,for me the combination between Bricks and JetEngine,gives me a lot of oppertunities for my own projects.

Very good job!

excellent deep comparison!

Great video, thanks for the feedback in both great builders. I would like to know as today for you wich one is the best builder to start a new project Oxygen , Bricks or Zion. Thanks in advance for your answer

Thanks for this review. 😊 Perhaps, after Brick 1.5 is released you could built an actual webpage with both builders -- so that one can quantitatively see the differences in the work flow process. I would recommend building a webpage composed of a set of typical design elements, e.g., hero image with color gradient and overlay text & parallax effect, sticky horizontal menu for desktop & off-canvas mobile menu, service section, touch enabled testimonial carousel, about section with overlapping text and/or image blocks, on-scroll animations, footer section, use of the design libraries, etc.

Does Brics have an icon element where I can upload my custom svg icons set like Oxy? It is very time consuming to download svg ico, set color, upload and still can not change color if I need.

Can you do a comparison of Bricks and Breakdance builder?

The only problem I have with Bricks is the buggy editor right now. Don’t know if you experience the same but. Copy-Paste does not happen sometimes, adding elements sometimes do not appear or appear at the bottom of the DOM… and more… I often reload the editor to fix these temporary issues. Otherwise I think it’s the best builder. It still needs some time for refinement…

Fed up of jumping from builder to builder. Oxygen is an addiction, gives so much control over every aspect of a website, cant imagine using any builder other than Oxygen.

Oxygen vs. Zion builder would also be usefull…

Pretty much agree with this video. The big question for me is... We compare a builder who is 4/5 years old with another who is 1/2 years old. One had a large and very active community to develop its product. (is it at its maximum?) The other takes off and sees its base increased recently. What will the situation be in 1 or 2 years taking these facts into account?

You should wait until the bricks version 1.5 to make it more obvious.

Great Review. As a die hard Oxygen user I need to give Bricks a try. But as a custom css,js,jquery and php user I still think oxygen is far better. But I see Bricks is coming there very fast. Need to try it but Bricks doesn't have a trial version right?

Bricks is the Winner today March 2023

Looks like now the oxygen is a way better builder for custom sites building but breakdance builder has arrived recently. Most likely, the oxygen will be abandoned sooner or later. Here the bricks team may shine with their ltd.

I am unable to watch your video. Your screen is blank. Why's that?

The fact that Oxygen and Bricks are being compared frequently suggests they are in the same weight class. No matter how similar they become, they’ll both have strengths and weaknesses. These tools should be selected as they best fit the projects at hand.

Sub español??

In my opinion Oxygen is the Winner

Wanted to give the review a thumbs up but TBH the last half part of the video showed that you lack knowledge of Oxygen functions, template conditions etc. ... but OK. Thanks for the content.

Oxygen still the best Page Builder, for me 👍🏼

Oxigen UI looks annoying to me

They delete comments here ... massacre
