Elementor Woes: Categorizing complaints about site editing tools

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

After spending time building a large site with Elementor, I started to notice the issues I was having seemed to fall into similar categories of complaints that people have about the block editor and the new WordPress site editor. So I outlined the categories that these major issues fall into, so it’s easier to figure out what parts are important to you and what parts you can compromise on. And hopefully contribute to a more productive discussion around WordPress core and the various site building options. — This is about the editing experience of the builder, not necessarily about the end result website. So we don’t go into the code output, accessibility, or front end website at all. — Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 4:10 - General Building Experience 9:05 - Browser Compatibility when Editing 13:17 - Responsive Controls 16:22 - Templating & Global Style Management 18:37 - URLs & Site Migration 20:11 - Quirks & Bugs 21:58 - Extending & Advanced Features 26:43 - Finishing Up
