A comparison of frameworks for Wordpress is urgently needed ;)

I’ve installed Core Framework with Gutenberg on a FSE vanilla and it integrates much better than ACSS. It continues working with Generateblocks and 20-20-4, not tried it with GP theme. It seems to be a smaller database than ACSS but that suits me as I can’t remember half of what Automatic offers 🙂 It is more attractive from a cost point being free for core Wp and a one off for the Bricks integration. I forgot to check if fluid uses Clamp but I’ll search the data tomorrow…. Be interested in a deeper dive please Paul though I’ll probably splash on the Bricks adapter anyway. Keep up the good work! 👏

Hi Paul, Would you think about doing a video comparing/contrasting Core Framework and Automatic.css (ACSS)? I’d be interested to hear what you thought of both, especially if you’ve decided on Core Framework as the one for you moving forward…

Would like to say THANK YOU, for all your work this year!

Really interesting Paul. Hope you had a great New Years and really looking forward to your 2024 content. Another interesting comparison, CF for Bricks $137 - unlimited websites, ACSS $399 - 100 websites.

Looking forward to more in-depth CF videos - wonderful!

Exceptional video! Would absolutely love to see how you'd approach building a landing page with bricks + core. Maybe even how helpful this would be alongside BEM or another class naming philosophy to build fully maintainable repeating sections or components. Cheers!

Excellent overview/review, Paul !! Thank you so much for covering this. You answered a couple of lingering questions which helped tremendously. I'm sure I won't be alone in begging to see some more in-depth videos covering this. Merry Christmas to the Charlton clan!!

great vid Paul, loving all this Bricks content!

Was looking forward to this on Core Framework.

Thank for the video! A video giving some hints and tips to make everything scalable would be great...

Very good, very helpful, deeper dive would be great

Great tutorial. One single page tutorial will help understand how to use it with in bricks. Not much info on where and how to use in builder. I also need to learn grid and how to manipulate the grid with cf in bricks.

After seeing your Black Friday haul, I'd be interested in a video covering your preferred Bricks tech stack.

Great video Paul, we need more deep videos like this

I'd love to see a full build. I'm debating Core Framework vs ACSS.

Interesting and useful video, thanks

Thank you. Waiting more video for CF and Bricks.

Excellent walkthrough and well presented! Could you show how breakpoints in Core Framework and Bricks Settings should be synchronized? Cheers!

First view, first like... Best channel.

Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge...

Great video as usual. Personally little confused with Bricks, Advanced Themer and Core framework settings. Which overrides which etc. For example, are the Advanced Themer theme styles redundand when using core framework?

THIS IS AWESOME!

Hi, thank you very much, but I would like to know if you could make a tutorial on how to create professional layouts with Core Framework, learning to design with columns, rows and grids, thank you. I learn a lot from you. Hola muchas gracias, pero me gustaría que si pudieras hacer un tutorial sobre como maquetear profesionalmente con Core framework, aprender a diseñar con columnas, filas y con grid, gracias. Aprendo mucho contigo.

Hi Paul, why do we have to set the container width as the same as the max screen width which is just for the maximum size in fluid calculators (spacing and typography)?, the container width is to limit all the website content within a certain width, while the max screen width is just for calculating the largest spacing and typograhy value, they are two different thing and not related to each other.

At 21:34 how did you select all the divs at once? Is it native bricks feature? Also, why the radius style only applied for the first div?

My inner Kevin was screaming, please don't class litter your project. Use BEM to help build your projects correctly. :) Core framework is amazing.

More please.

So its more normal to have 1100px or 1366px as width ?

Is this a good replacement for ACSS? Seems more intuitive. Anything missing im not noticing?

i'm guessing not compatible with Elementor?

Your timing couldn't be better., I'm learning bricks and have Core Framework, spent all day today doing Bricks lessons and having to pause to figure out how my setup with CF differs from theirs. Why do you say to setup the H1s etc. in Bricks as opposed to CF? I've been adding CSS to the existing Heading setting in CF today. Guess I better restore defaults on that one haha. A more detailed tutorial would be great. I noticed that when I was editing Typography in Bricks, for example the colour of H1s, it wasn't taking effect because CF was overriding it.

Any specific reason why you are using CF and not ACSS ?

Shouldn't it be max-width and not width? So your content can shrink and still grow to the max allowed size?

I still dont really get how this is smart. I just stack classnames on elements, instead of modifying one element and then re-use the styling of that? The latter seems more efficient. All these things are also something i can just configure in Bricks. Why is it smarter for me to type the classname instead of just pressing the setting in Bricks? Some of the variables seem nice i guess

Why pay $119 for the Bricks integration when the Gutenberg integration is free?
