Hi am thinking to switch from Avada to Astra and Elementor as well. Did you have as well to create all content new because it cannot be used outside the fusion page builder? I fear so 🤐
Here are four themes which are oldies but still goodies: Headway Themes pioneered multi-layout for any post or page; ditto for Ultimatum Theme. Finally Total and Uncode themes have driven the idea of multi-layout with new features. Total is "loaded down" with ViscualComposer and Slider Revolution.
Another great video. When using Divi and the Divi builder do I not loose my content (as you discussed in your 7 questions video) if I stop using Divi (one or the other or both)? Thanks for the useful information!
Really enjoying your vids Adam! I've only been playing with WordPress again for the last few months and it's been a long road for learning everything! I've been looking more and more at different themes and still get very confused. I purchased a theme bundle that "looked" great but soon discovered they had issues (layers not sitting in right order and speed issues). The last week or two had seen me watching quite a few vids of Divi, and now I'm stuck trying to decide between that or Astra.
It looks like sooner or later you will cover which is best for affiliate marketers. Free software and paid software could be covered. I am talking about Thrive Architect, Astra, and Elementor.
thank you for this video... ive watched countless of videos from you and others and i was so stuck on paying for these high themes and than using you guys tutorials to help me through it. but im glad i know now, i want to build in word press and will be using astra or elementor or just use them together. you prefer the paid version for astra? i seen on wordpress it was free.
2:00 that's why these themes still add value over purely page builder sites. Demo sites. Although Page Builders doo have page templates, some a really a bit slower code runtime wise.
Great video as always, Adam! Do you have a favorite theme for creating a digital images library membership site? Do you think WooCommerce is best for the cart and digital delivery?
Great list with great choices as always, but I was expecting the Page Builder Framework to be in that list, which is a theme built specifically for page builders, it's not being around for a long time, but I think it worth the mention.
@@WPCrafter Thanks! Sounded good! I want to begin with something I can continue using and that will have support for me. Launching into learning OceanWP.
Are you familiar with Click Funnels? I was wondering if that whole entire platform is a viable alternative to building a website via Word Press for purposes of building and servicing an ecommerce / social media follower driven eco system. Any thoughts on this. Thanks
Might be transitioning back to Astra from OceanWP! Seems to be conflict when creating various headers and footers! I like OceanWP, but too many options! Gonna try and keep things on the more simplified side of life! Adam, any chance you might do a video on the new process of using Google API Keys since they’re now charging and how to properly set up organizations as an agency?
What are the best themes for bloggers, that are also page builder friendly? I mean I suppose since wordpress was all bloggers once most themes would do okay.
Hey Adam, this is great. Question - if I have an existing website and like to check out these themes, how do I leave the existing site alone and experiment with the new themes?
Hello Mr Adam Great videos, as usual. I think of a store or a blog of Amazon affiliates in the niche of perfumes, you believe that the theme MyListing could be adapted. Thank you
Hello. I have a question. Is the last "theme" that you cover (Elementor) a theme, a page builder ... or both? I just watched your Elementor vs Beaver Builder comparison video and thought Elementor was a page builder that works with "themes" like the first 6 you cover here. Thanks in advance for clarifying.
Very cool video. I think I will shift from Avada theme to Astra + Elementor or Divi, although I will have to build my site from scratch because I cannot use Avada Fusion builder content in another theme. I would use your affiliate links below because your videos helped me always
I would add Genesis to that list still! You hardly find any other theme that is more stable, secure and longer around than Genesis. Yes, it is not that "heavy" with the Customizer, but other than that it is still a very good option for a lot of things. And yes, it works fine with Page Builders.
Yea I considered it, but the challenge I have always had with Genesis is that there are very limited options to change anything without doing it with custom code. Really, a theme like Genesis could easily dominate if they would think of the end user and not just the developer. It could be the ultimate page builder theme.
Also, my website has Sydney theme (too bad i didn't see this video before making the website)...What's your take on the sydney theme & is it mobile friendly?
hello adam. is the elementor theme is seo and adsence friendly? is the theme is lite weight or speedy? i am new, and i am confusing to choose the theme for google adsence and seo friendly. plz help me, and plz tell me for free theme where i can use elementor page builder and it shold be seo and google adsence friendly. thnax
Do you have any advice for a responsive but lean/lite theme. My current WP site has 9mb of content but is >3.5gb. A basic blog theme without all the bells and whistles of e-commerce etc. cheers..
Hi. U have amazingly helpful videos! I have a question not related to this video (but dunno how to reach you, so here it goes): I have a wordpress + elementor website. I want to make a page on my website that does not appear on the navigation menu, but can be found through google search (when someone searches for the product which that page promotes). i.e. that page should be indexed by google and should appear as a google search result but not appear on my navigation menu. Is that possible?
Great list Adam! You put in your theme list Elementor Pro 2 which is a builder. Does that mean that with Elementor Pro 2 you don't need to use a theme in building websites?
Technically you still need a theme, but you can now use Elementor Pro to build all parts of your website. In fact, Elementor has a minimum theme that stays out of the way. ruclips.net/video/_Rv518JiXM8/видео.html
How do you go about accessing and then downloading / inztalling the OceanWP theme onto your Word Press dashboard? When I type in Ocean WP at the WP plugin search I get things like "Ocean Extra" .. "Ocean Posts Slider" .. "Ocean Demo Import" .. "Ocean Social Sharing" etc. But no OceanWP theme specifically. Thanks if you can answer this.
Adam - I see nothing related to photography, do you have any recommendations? I'm using x-theme and I'm finding that it's not really mobile friendly, google reports way to many JS errors when testing the site.
I have just watched a video from Elegant Themes Adam and apparently they are bringing out a Theme builder and post type management system which is something to look out for :-)
Yes I am closely following it. My guess is it may take them 6 months at least. Hopefully, they will release it in 2018. It took Elementor over a year to build it and I don't think Elegant Themes was working on it prior to a few weeks ago. Either way, it's going to be great for all users!
Nice video Adam, I find that OceanWP and Elementor Pro cover all my needs. Will have to take a look at Astra though. With Elementor Pro I think as long as the core theme has flexibility, the theme is now less important. (Assuming there is investment in the page builder and theme)
Genesis has very little options to change the way it looks without writing custom functions and custom CSS. Also, it has very limited integrations. Thesis is the old dog that only 5 - 6 year old websites still run. It's one for the dustbin sadly.
Why didn't you list the Beaver builder that you talk about sometimes. Have you stopped using it, or has it started to not be as good as the Elementor Pro?
Naw that thing is so backward. My prediction is it will be a flop. No one wants to use yet another interface to make a header / footer. With an unintuitive interface and steep learning curve. Building headers with a page builder is the future, whether it be Elementor Pro, Divi, or Gutenberg.
Yea I think the cost is a bit high since it would require Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer. Total would be $246. Where with Elementor you can get started for $49.
Hi Adam. I am loving your tutorials. Can you please make a video on MyListing Theme? I am struggling to set up a simple community phone listing directory accessible to members only. Thank you.
Switching from Avada to Astra and Elementor were the best decisions I made since starting with WP a year ago.
Hi am thinking to switch from Avada to Astra and Elementor as well. Did you have as well to create all content new because it cannot be used outside the fusion page builder? I fear so 🤐
That's great Alexander Bjerkvik! Thanks for watching.
I switched early, so not much to edit. Anyway, your likely to save time in the long-run by switching.
Here are four themes which are oldies but still goodies: Headway Themes pioneered multi-layout for any post or page; ditto for Ultimatum Theme. Finally Total and Uncode themes have driven the idea of multi-layout with new features. Total is "loaded down" with ViscualComposer and Slider Revolution.
The only issue with Headway is that it's a defunct business which makes the theme a dead end. They were pioneers though!

Astra vs generate press for multiple blog website which one you sugges ?
Hi Adam. Did you do a video about DIVI + LMS Theme ? How does it compare to Learndash + Astra LMS Theme. Thanks !
thank you for this video... ive watched countless of videos from you and others and i was so stuck on paying for these high themes and than using you guys tutorials to help me through it. but im glad i know now, i want to build in word press and will be using astra or elementor or just use them together. you prefer the paid version for astra? i seen on wordpress it was free.
I watch your videos every morning

I think after they add WooCommerce integration I will do a full video review.
Thank you, I didn't know they lack this.
I'm curious about Phlox compared to OceanWP. Any experience or comments about it? Thanks! Video's very helpful!
The Phlox theme is complete crap. Even the guy that made a full tutorial on it regrets it because the theme is crap and filled with problems.

Sorry I am very new here, whats the different between Themes and page builder ?
Hey Adam, thanks for the video as always. What's the status of the new theme by Thrive Themes? Any latest word?
Hey Adam, thanks for these amazing video. Learned a lot. I'm building a membership site. Is Astra a good template for that as well?
What are the best themes for bloggers, that are also page builder friendly? I mean I suppose since wordpress was all bloggers once most themes would do okay.
Hey Adam, this is great. Question - if I have an existing website and like to check out these themes, how do I leave the existing site alone and experiment with the new themes?
legendary video my friend , you have a new fan. I use video to capture leads so tell me where you get that little bubble speaking box , its awesome
I'm curious, Astra is pretty darn expensive which version do you recommend. Are there less expensive options?
Which premade layout from Astra did you use for magazine/newspaper function
Hello Mr Adam
Great videos, as usual.
I think of a store or a blog of Amazon affiliates in the niche of perfumes, you believe that the theme MyListing could be adapted.
Thank you
What would be the best theme for Photographer?

love what your are publishing Great efforts
Thanks for watching jamal ahmed!
It would be very interesting to see a tutorial with astra or oceanwp developing a newspaper theme with the elementor pro plugin. It's possible?
Great List Adam. Still sold an Astra. 😄
Thanks for watching Sheridan Barrett!
Which team supports attribute search ??
I want to make a discussion forum by using wpforo plugin which premium theme is best
just starting out my site - any thoughts on the "ephemaris" theme? positive and negative?
I would add Genesis to that list still! You hardly find any other theme that is more stable, secure and longer around than Genesis. Yes, it is not that "heavy" with the Customizer, but other than that it is still a very good option for a lot of things. And yes, it works fine with Page Builders.

Fully agree with you on that ;-)
With Astra and Elementor Pro your saying you could build something like newspaper 9?

Hi Adam, have you had any chance to test Kava Theme by Crocoblock? They market it as a theme made for Elementor.
Hi. U have amazingly helpful videos! I have a question not related to this video (but dunno how to reach you, so here it goes): I have a wordpress + elementor website.

would really appreciate your help on this...
sir adam what is the best theme for a travel agency website that will match well in elementor pagebuilder can you pls. reccomend?
Hi, you are speaking about ELEMENTOR THEME? doe's this exist? can't find it ....
Great list Adam! You put in your theme list Elementor Pro 2 which is a builder. Does that mean that with Elementor Pro 2 you don't need to use a theme in building websites?

With Elementor hello, how do you delete the small default text so I can use Elementor full width instead of canvas for faster load time?
I cannot find the Elementor Theme. I have Elementor pro.
i wish they had some kind of blank theme you can start from scratch.
Which one is the best with Elementor....
How do you go about accessing and then downloading / inztalling the OceanWP theme onto your Word Press dashboard? When I type in Ocean WP at the WP plugin search I get things like "Ocean Extra" ..

Yes you are right, how people use a theme is changing big time.
Great Choices and I noticed that you did not include Genesis and Thesis. I don't think that they fit in your 7 criteria.
Genesis has very little options to change the way it looks without writing custom functions and custom CSS. Also, it has very limited integrations. Thesis is the old dog that only 5 - 6 year old websites still run. It's one for the dustbin sadly.
Why didn't you list the Beaver builder that you talk about sometimes. Have you stopped using it, or has it started to not be as good as the Elementor Pro?
This was about themes, the Beaver Builder theme has not kept up with the others.
@@WPCrafter BB seem to be only 3 people though. Check on LinkedIn. :)
@@Potenti4lz I think they have over 20 people working for the company.
is that every themes are free?
thanks for the vídeo!

understand! thanks for your answer
I'm wondering why you don't have Beaver themer in that list.
Yea I think the cost is a bit high since it would require Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer. Total would be $246. Where with Elementor you can get started for $49.

Nice
Thank you.
oceanWp is the best FREE full features wp themes.
Really, no mention of StudioPress?
Yea because it doesn't give you any options to change anything really. Its all custom code for something as simple as a font change.
Good reason!

Looking for a good theme for social services people with developmental disabilities and Autism
Divi lol - This is mostly Elemtor based themes, dont be so 1 dimensional
They are mostly page builder themes, not Elementor themes. The first 3 that is.
