Thank you and you are very welcome! Hope it helps.

Thanks for the valuable feedback. Yeah, I agree about the bg music. My new videos I am not adding music anymore, based on others feedback. This video is definitely old, in fact a few days after the video was published, more updates came out which made some of the video redundant. To be honest, as most of the video is based on using the Greenshift block theme, I have actually not used the GS block theme a lot so I am not really sure on how Greenshift interacts now with the core Gutenberg blocks, alhtough I don't think there was much connection anyway to begin with. I am trying (struggling) to keep up with Greenshift with its relentless releases of new features. Its getting much better all the time. Sorry I could not answer your question specifically. I need to jump back in to see where the block editor is at again. I am just used to using the Blocksy Pro theme which has been crucial for my dev stack. Hopefully that somehow helps. Thanks again for your comment and watching the video 🙂

Check your volume settings, both on your device and on the video itself.

So happy to hear that it has saved your life 😀

Hey @Whatreally123. Thanks for your message and welcome to WordPress. For your question, I am not sure how to go about doing that, as I assume you are using Greenshift query builder, is that correct? If so, then I put this into ChatGPT and it came out with this method. I have not tested this myself, so unsure if it will work. If it does not, I recommend to reach out to Greenshift support or post it up on the Greenshift Facebook group page. Here is the ChatGPT response: In Greenshift's block-based query loop, you can achieve showing only the first two words of a post title using custom code via a shortcode or custom block. Method: Using a Shortcode #### Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file: #### function gs_first_two_words_title() { $title = get_the_title(); $words = explode(' ', $title); $first_two_words = array_slice($words, 0, 2); return implode(' ', $first_two_words); } add_shortcode('first_two_words', 'gs_first_two_words_title'); #### Use the Shortcode in the Query Loop Block #### In the Greenshift query loop builder, where you would normally insert the post title block, instead, insert a shortcode block and add [first_two_words]. This may or may not display only the first two words of the post title. Let me know how it goes and if it works.

Hey, thanks for your questions. As you know, the purpose of the video is focused on how to build a plugin to store the Gutenberg block editor patterns for easy access later on or moving to other sites. I am not familiar with the Avada theme as I don't use it, however if that is part of your workflow and you enjoy using that, I encourage you to stay with what tools you wish to use. If a client has zero technical knowledge and wants to edit a page, it really comes back to how the handover process takes place. I always include recorded training sessions with my clients at handover, so they know the basics of page editing and this process seems to work well. The great thing I like about using Gutenberg, is it is a native experience for WordPress, there is no adding additional layers of UI and so my processes work best that way. Again, if using Avada is easier for you, then keep using it. That is the beautiful thing about WordPress, it has no limits and many tools can be used to facilitate any outcomes. I hope that helps answers your questions and thanks again for watching the video.

Without knowing your full site setup it is hard to provide an answer to your specific question. If there is an issue with the Greenshift theme mega menu settings, I recommend to reach out to Greenshift support directly. Just make sure to let them know that the issue is you are having and what steps are leading you to see the issue.

Hey, thanks for checking out the video. This is still going great, even a year later. I am in the early stages of creating a plugin that has all the GSTemplate.com templates, so you could essentially get the plugin, install it and then get access to all the templates, rather than copy / pasting them one by one. Work in progress, like all things. Hope you are keeping well.

@@wpgeni sounds great! Well done.

Thanks for the bg music feedback. I'll definitely not be using that one again 🙂

I think I understand what you mean. When I switch on the slide loop settings, the first image essentially moves to the second button (in my testing). I think this is a bug of the slider or maybe loop should not be used for this purpose. I wonder why you would want to have this set to loop, unless you are using it like a normal slider with arrows as well. If that is the case, I recommend reaching out to Greenshift support to ask them about it. Sorry I could not be any more help.

Greenshift is a plugin. There is also a Full Site Editor (FSE) theme callled Greenshift by the same developer. Greenshift allows you you to create beautiful layouts using the WordPress Block Editor - Gutenberg. Hope that helps.

Thanks so much for letting me know. Glad to read that it helped you. If there is anything that you would like to see a video about regards to Greenshift, let me know. Thanks again :-)

You are very welcome. Hope you enjoyed. More to come.

Thank you very much Lex. The beautiful thing about this is that it can be tailored to any specification that is needed. I agree with you that the breathing effect is a bit jarriing, but I did not want to spend another 30 mins on it, just wanted to get a base understanding across on what can be done and how to tweak etc. You are very welcome on the shoutout, you make excellent videos as well, so I felt it was prudent to tell more people about your work.

Thanks so much, that is very nice of you to say and it encourages me to keep making this type of content 🙂

Thank you. So that I understand you more clearly, you want the pulsing effect of the shapes to move when a button is clicked. Is that correct? If so, I would imagine that the Interaction Layers might be useful for that type of setup, although some experimentation would be needed. I am at the starting point of learning more about using Rive to create some interesting effects, such as on button click have something happen, like the example in the GS library of confetti flying out when a button is clicked. As you know, I only touch on the surface of what Greenshift can do and it is just a matter of experimenting the many different things you can do. The options are endless, which is both daunting and exciting.

Thanks very much 🙂I will certainly be creating more content like this and if you have anything you would like to see, let me know.

Thanks very much. Your comment inspires me.

Hey, sorry for the delayed reply. It may be an issue specific to your setup or a conflict with the animations. Its hard to say how to fix without seeing the issue or knowing what you have set for the animation settings. My suggestion is to put in a support ticket to Greenshift to ask them about your specific issue, if you have not already done so of course. Or pop it into the Greenshift group on Facebook, someone might be able to help you there.

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and hope you got something out of it.

You are very welcome. Thanks for watching and hope it helped you out!

This works with Greenshift block editor plugin, independent from the theme you choose, so you can build it with any theme, FSE or Classic.

Good question. I have not tested this, should still work though, maybe. I am just used to using the Greenshift Row block plus I prefer the mobile responsive settings that are available with Greenshift structure blocks.

Thanks very much Darryl. It is awesome to read that you found it helpful. As you know, Greenshift is an always growing and changing plugin so even I find it hard to keep up sometimes, particularly with the latest updates. My aim is to simplify Greenshift as much as possible and with your feedback, it is certainly encouraging. Thanks again for taking the time to write your comment. It means a lot.

Thanks so much @gillyc7353. I do plan to do more videos, so watch this space :-)

Thanks for watching and for your comment. The Greenshift slider block settings have an option to switch on autoplay. You can set the speed and turn on loop for the slider to continue to loop through the slides. Hope that helps. Reach out if you have any more questions.

@@wpgeni Thanks for your reply, I enabled auto play and loop option but it animates from right to left direction. However, I want it to animate it reverse direction. Is there any way we can do that? You're doing a great job with these tutorials. Keep making more greenshift videos.

@@shanto_asif I would think that it would require additional to change the slide direction, but that is not in my skills level so it is best to reach out to Greenshift Support on that one.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I gotta get my audio setup much better. Otherwise, I hope the video helped you out.

Welcome to the Greenshift family. You are gonna love it.

Yes it does. wordpress.org/themes/greenshift/

Thank you. Thanks for the suggestion. I have added that to my to do list.

Agh cool, was waiting for someone to ask me that question. So, in the old days before stylebook, when adding an GS advanced header block into the editor, it would add a margin to the top of it, it still does it, but you can now control that via the stylebook. The story is that on a few sites I built, I added 0px to the top margin of that block, instead of 1px. Greenshift was then updated several versions later and automatically stripped out the 0px top margin that I added in manually to all the Advanced header blocks, but any that I put a different value in, like 10px or something else, it retained that value. So I had to go through those few sites and redo all the top margins again. Sure I could have added the global styling it had at the time, but look at what is happening now, the old class / styling system is being removed. So, by putting 1px instead of 0px, if the ever the 0px input is stirpped out again in a future update, at least it will be retained. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking :🙂

Thanks for the comment. The footer takes on the styling from GS even though it is a core button block, not a GS button block. It looks different on the backend, with a purple colour, but on the front end it takes on the GS button block styling, except for paddings. Since the latest V7.0 release, I am really just starting again to get my head around it all and was planning to do another video to cover the new features in, but yeah, got to spend some time playing with it some more. Thanks again for watching and for your comment 🙂

Absolutely @iampgodara, I can do that. Is there any specific genre of blog that you want to see, or any type? I was thinking of doing a travel type blog build tutorial, would that be of interest to you or do you have another genre in mind?

@@wpgeni yes travel blog is great where people write about best things to do in [location] that would be great i know it's gonna be so work and big video but that guide gonna help in future because of FSE

Thanks very much for your feedback Ricardo, it means a lot and I will certainly be making more videos related to Greenshift. I'll have to do another version of this video when GS V7.0 is released soon, which includes the Stylebook placement in the editor and also the variable styles as well. Stay tuned and keep smiling 🙂

Hey, my apologies I never got back to you on your comment. I would imagine you have found a solution, but just wanted to acknowledge that I saw your comment, but at the time did not have any solution. I hope you were able to find a solution to it.

@@wpgeni No, I gave up!! lol Thank you for your reply!

Thanks for watching and for the feedback Victor. TBH, I also am still getting my head around all the different layout elements (group, section, row, columns) and when and where best to use them. I personally just use Greenshift and the Greenshift FSE theme, I just use the row block and hardly use the group block, yet I saw Igor mention that we should still use the Group block in the page to keep the page margins consistent, I'm a seasoned user and I still confused about what to use and where. In this particular video, I just wanted to give a basic overview of the block editor, nothing too fancy as I have some clients that are just starting to use it and wanted some basic overview, hence why I made this one. Thanks again for your comment and for your feedback.

I watched tutorials on Greenshift channel and they use rows, sections, wrappers for the same things so, looks like they are also confused on how to use those widgets. I would love to understand when I must use them because for me it’s very clear in other builders like Bricks, Oxygen, Breakdance and Generate Blocks. A video tutorial explaining this is necessary. Hope you could do it.

@@RicardoCorai Thanks for your comment. From my understanding and continued learning, is you'll use a Container, but to not put a Row block inside it, but you can use a Row block and add a Container into it. The Section is a just a one column layout, you can't add columns to that block, its just a single column block. I guess at the end of the day, there is no hard and fast rule and will come down to how much you want to optimise your build time, which comes with time, playing around. Hope that is helpful, I may do a quick video on this subject as and when I get a grip on it as well.

Sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks for your comment. I am sorry, I don't provide support for plugins. I suggest to reach out to the plugin developer via the WordPress plugin repository as it would very much depend on your specific circumstances and they would be able to better provide that support to you. Hope it all works our for you and thanks again for watching this video.
