This is a pivotal moment for anyone using WordPress.
WordPress 6.2 is coming out in one week, and it draws the line in the sand with all the page building tools on the market.

But there is one catch, which I will cover in this video along with all the new things coming to help you build amazing website experiences faster than ever
So let's dig in.

Thanks Adam. I like the direction WP is headed. UI extensibility @ the block/module level is huge. Combine that with with the rise of almost flawless "robocode" generation and transformation, and the WP world definitely changes almost overnight. It will be fun to watch how the eco system responds. Now, if WP gave us an easy way to hook into the block UI and drive it programmatically, every thing really changes. "Hey [fill in your favorite programming AI], modify the center top image block to spin when I mouse over it but only on Mondays." We can almost do that today, and we will be doing it in the near future. Appreciate you content.

Let's hope that's not a direct comparison between EVs and WP tho...The EVs have virtually no history of reliability, very few mechanics, replacement batteries cost as much as decent used cars and are worse fire hazards than gas cars. Never mind that they're not green at all and that the "blood batteries" come from child labor. Yeah...let's use a different comparable, lol.

This is a valuable video as it introduces WP starters to the power of a page builder. It undoubtedly will give people greater opportunity to tailer pages and I am sure that blocked themes will be more popular soon. It certainly is not a replacement for a professional, conversion based platforms like Thrive Themes, which we use, as this offers so much more functionality than block based editing. To answer your questions, it will not replace professional page builders, but most likely incentivize developers to improve their offerings. It will introduce novices to the page building concept and potentially increase market opportunities for developers to improve existing page building platforms. With AI becoming widely available, it is just a matter of time for intelligent page theme builders to enter the market. Eventually, WP will catch up on this as well, but it will take a few years if history is an indication. Thanks for an excellent video.

End of page builders? Ya, I think not. Most devs I talk to hate the block builder cause it’s utterly crap, and for clients they hate it too, since it’s so confusing for them. Page builders will be here to stay, as WP themselves (hopefully) won’t shoot themselves in the foot by wiping out a whole industry.

You'd be wrong. Elementor's over-priced framework makes it absolutely impossible to keep up with Gutenberg and it's future improvements. Keep believing the hype and spending extra money on slow software pumped up with expensive boosted server accounts for lesser results... Think about it, why would your clients want to pay more for a dinosaur? Once the word gets out, they will find another designer offering better sites that run circles around Elementor's obsolete offerings.

Also, if someone is already using the Astra Pro theme, will there be an automatic migration option to transition to Spectra One?

None of us wants to think about having to completely rebuild a site. Thanks for all the videos and products.
