A BIG WELCOME BACK!!! You nearly broke my heart for not seeing you for a very long time, for every day I check on you. We love you Clifton, cause you made us love Kadence. You are Super-best!. Can't wait to watch and learn more. I'm so excited. Thank you for coming back. There is none like you when it comes to Kadence.
Thanks so much for putting this comprehensive guide together! We have a new employee who needs to learn Kadence and your video just saved us a ton of time. Thanks again and keep up the GREAT work!
Soooo happy to see this! Just over an hour in to refresh myself on the basics (before getting to some things I want to implement that I know are coming later). Already learning a few new things. You have such a gift for teaching, and I'm so appreciative of your sharing all this information and hard work. Seriously, THANK YOU, from a blogger who's just trying to keep creating content but needs to update and design my site.
Clifton!!!!!!!! How amazing to see you back again. I've just started getting back into Kadence in the last couple of days...and seeing you with a new tutorial is so wonderful. You are definitely The Man.
Fantastic to see your return, Clifton, you're a lifesaver! Your Kadence and WordPress tutorials are excellent, as always. Your explanations are always crystal clear and actionable. Thanks for sharing your expertise and helping us create amazing websites! Looking forward to more amazing content from you in the future.
Hey Clifton, fantastic to see you again, unbelievable comeback! 🤩 I am really looking forward to come along for this deep dive and learn from your valued knowledge!
Your way of teaching or explaining of all the contents concerning Kadence is amazing and so precise that I have not seen anyone else could do better. Thank you.
Your tutorial is amazing. I had a slow and bloated website built a few years ago with a builder and after rebuilding it with Kadence, it looks better and loads several seconds faster
Your timing to release this was PERFECT for me - I'm getting ready to update a few sites with Kadence, and this sharpened my saw before I dig in. Fantastic design choices to demo the features; I have some fresh ideas! Thank you for your time and diligence in making a complete tutorial. It may be lengthy, but there are no wasted words.
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and I am glad that the tutorial is helpful to you! I appreciate you watching and wish you the best on your Kadence website updates!
Yuo are a gem....thnx so much for taking the time to do this amazing tutorial. I've been using Kadence for a few years but I always learn something new from your classes
Great work, this is the most extensive Wordpress tutorial I've seen yet, it's an outright course. A great THANK YOU for this one sir. And man, I think Kadence theme is the most customizable, definitely my favorite one so far.
🎉🎉🎉 The Kadence master. I am calling you the Bob Ross of Kadence. (Is Kadence paying you yet?). I learned so many little things, and loved the elements overview. Looking forward to a video about the pro blocks and shopkit. You have given us so much information for free. ❤
Clifton, this is, by far, THE best instructional/educational video I have ever watched on RUclips. Bar none. I learned so much and really enjoyed watching your video. You have a HUGE talent for this, I am hugely impressed by all aspects of your video. Thank you so very much. I will send you a $$ thanks when things are a little easier. Very best wishes 😊😊
Thank you. I would like to use Kadence elements to create a pop up consisting of a WebBot. Not sure if you addressed it in the video but I will review it. Thank you for the upload!
Amazing that you took the time to put this together - thank you! I am going through it, but having trouble finding a specific section: at 3:58:18 you mention "Later on in the video we will talk about the AI starter templates". I have not been able to find this section however. If any one came across it, please let me know around which time stamp I might be able to find it. And again, thank you!
Hey brother, great video, will we be seeing an updated version including all those extra features you haven't mentioned such as cadence shop kit and other benefits we get being apart of the kadence community (BTW Love the intro song & outro, slays)
Thank you so much! Yes! I am working my way through each major plugin from Kadence. I just posted one about the Kadence Pattern Hub. There will be more.
I'm working on my website and noticed that the main image on my homepage (above the fold) is set as a background image in a row block, rather than using a regular tag with alt text. I'm concerned this might negatively affect SEO and accessibility since background images aren't indexed the same way and screen readers might miss them. When I try replacing the background image with a standard image block, the design doesn't look the same-the text doesn't overlay the image as it did before. Should I be fixing this to improve SEO and accessibility? Are there best practices to maintain both the SEO benefits and my current design? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your comment and apologies for the delayed response. An image set as a background image does not negatively impact SEO. However a regular on-page image can contribute positively to SEO. My best recommendation is simply to build your website in the best way you can and place most of your consideration on the user's experience. Sometimes a beautiful background image can be engaging to the site visitor and create enough intrigue that they want to explore your site more. I hope that helps.
My friend, thoroughly enjoying your Tutorial though it would have been much more enjoyable if we had access to the `Assets` being used to create the demo website? Thanks a lot.
Thank you! I don't have any specific videos on sidebars in Kadence, what would you like to know about sidebars? I do have an agency and I do some work on website selectively. You can send me an email at clifton@cliftonwp.com.
Excellent tutorial! How to add a comments section on the posts in the website? I have checked the comments box in settings (Discussions). Do we have to add the form? Or does the comments form show up automatically?
Thank you! The comments form should show up in your posts automatically. If you don't see it, go to the customizer via the admin toolbar from the frontend or go to WP admin dashboard, click on the Appearance menu item in the sidebar, then click Customize. Once you are in the Customizer, go to: Post/Pages Layout Tab, then select: Single Post Layout, then scroll down to the bottom of the panel and make sure that the "Show Comments" toggle is set to "On" I hope that helps!
thanks a lot for this deep guide, I have a question if possible give the answer in video format for the general audience, the question is how to use H2 Heading with H1 before the image space like Forbes or other news brands, Question explanation: how do use H1 and H2, two tiles in the Title section or area?
Thank you. One way you can do this is to disable the Title on your page for the page settings area. Then add a Kadence Text Block and set it to H1. Then add a second Kadence Text Block and set it to H2. Lastly you can choose to add and an image block and set it to full width or add a Row block and and add an image as the background. I hope that helps!
Thank you for your question. Yes, this is possible to create. You'll want to utilize the modal popup block and you can create it a s an element if you like.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful question! I’m really glad you asked. Blocksy is indeed a powerful and feature-rich theme, much like the Kadence Theme. Both offer a remarkable set of features in their free versions, and the pro version of Blocksy adds even more value. I personally own the full Blocksy suite, and it’s a fantastic option. That said, when it comes to choosing between Blocksy and Kadence, it often depends on the kind of website-building experience you’re aiming for. Kadence shines because it’s designed as a fully integrated Website Building System-a theme that works hand-in-hand with its own page builder. It includes its own Gutenberg Blocks (Kadence Blocks) that blend seamlessly with the theme, making page building a smooth and cohesive process. With the pro features and additional Kadence plugins, it becomes a powerful toolkit for virtually any project. Blocksy, while an incredible theme, usually requires you to build your pages with other tools like Elementor, Gutenberg, or Stackable. This isn’t a drawback of Blocksy, as you can also use other page builders with the Kadence Theme. However, it does highlight that Blocksy’s primary strength lies in being a robust theme, rather than a complete system. I truly enjoy using Blocksy, but Kadence is my preferred system for building websites because I lean towards fully integrated systems. I hope this helps!
@@CliftonWP im using the redwood 1.2.7 i'm new to kadence free version. I want to have a minimalist layout but eye catching to the client. can you create a tutorial for that or share some idea in creating. thanks
Is there a way in Kadence, to have different Header layouts for Tablet and Mobile Devices? Currently we can have only a single breakpoint in addition to the desktop view I would like to at least one additional breakpoint in there?
Clifton, how do you take a staging site (from existing live site using Kadence Block) and install a Kadence theme but keep my content within the new theme?
Thank you, if the staging site pages are built with Kadence blocks, installing the Kadence theme will retain your pages, provided the Kadence Blocks plugin remains installed , however you may need to make adjustments to your homepage styling, header and footer. The Kadence Blocks content will remain intact.
@@CliftonWP Thank you. It's unfortunate that an existing site once built can't fully integrate a new theme. Also, the functionality to Uncheck Delete Previously Imported Content which is what I've been advised by Tech team at Kadence is not applicable when you have been using Kadence Blocks.
Yes, this is possible however, I recommend using a plugin like fluent snippets or if you have Kadence Pro, you can turn on the Header, Body and Footer Scripts feature. I hope that helps!
I have an issue with the Submit Button in the contact form disappearing whenever I add anything to the form. Has anyone experienced this? Or am I doing something wrong?
Thank you, this is currently a bug with the Advanced Form when creating a blank form or modifying a form from scratch. I've notified support at Kadence and they are working on a fix. Here is how to get around it in the meantime: 1. Add you form as normal and add the fields. The submit button will disappear. If doing this within a page. Publish the page and view the page on the front end. If building in the Form post type, save the form, exit and then go back to editing the form. 2. If you are doing this in a page, go back and edit the page in the editor. You will now be able to add a new submit button to the fomr and proceed as normal. The folks at Kadence are very good about fixes and I expect this will be patched in the next update.
