start transitioning to Gutenberg Blocks

    This is the notice from an Elementor Addon I once used— https://prnt.sc/sTVHL2itDCuU

    This Addon allowed me to use Dynamic Tags and create Custom Elementor Templates for Elementor Free version.

    Today, they are no more, and the reason is because Elementor is evolving, and adding into its Core, the features that we once needed Addons for.

    Features like Custom Skin that I needed Ele Custom Skin or E-Addons Template feature for, have been replaced by Elementor’s Loop Grid.

    Features like Mega Menu, Conditional Visibility, Modals, Taxonomy Filters, and many features that we needed Addons for, have all been provided by Elementor in its Core.

    In time, many Addons will no longer be relevant.

    Because I’ve benefitted from Premium Addons in time past, I’m of the opinion that Premium Addons should not die.

    Start the process of transitioning to Gutenberg Blocks because Gutenberg will indeed be the future of WordPress.

    Then ensure that in Gutenberg Blocks, you build everything that Elementor has, including everything you have, as your Gutenberg Blocks.

    In that way, you will have both the power of Elementor and Premium Addons in one package.

    And since it’s Gutenberg–which is fully Open Source, you have Creative License to provide a semblance of something else, branded in your name.

    Looking to hear from you soon.

    Regards.

    @gbordormor22 Thanks so much for sharing this. We already have our Gutenberg “Premium Blocks for Gutenberg“. It contains almost all the features from Premium Addons and the team is currently working on adding more and more features ??

    It’s a beautiful thing to know that you’ve gotten Blocks.

    Now, Twenty Five(25) Blocks is still small.

    I need you to be a Full Design System.

    You see, Elementor has 104+ Widgets.
    31 Basic Widgets
    34 Pro Widgets
    15 Theme Elements/ Widgets
    24 Woo Commerce Widgets

    TOTAL: 104 Widgets.

    As a Gutenberg Design System, You need to have everything Elementor has, plus your own existing widgets.

    And that will be a good starting point.

    A BACKGROUND
    For years, you’ve been second fiddle— always taking second place, trailing behind Elementor.

    Today, Gutenberg gives you the opportunity to define your own individuality.

    Since Elementor is something we love, and we don’t see Elementor ever becoming Blocks, you can take up the task of becoming our Elementor in Gutenberg Blocks.

    This is my intelligent thinking( I believe), and it is the way that you should go.

    If you are not ready to give us everything that Elementor has, in Gutenberg Blocks, then you will not be too relevant, and would just be a Company that is just playing.

    Stand up to the task and be our Elementor in Gutenberg Blocks.

    With this task ahead, you can see that your 25 Blocks is just starting?

    Now, apart from all of these 104 Widgets, Elementor has these 5 “Beautiful Features” that are its true Pro power:

    1.) Theme Builder – which allows us to create Custom Templates.

    2.) Dynamic Tags — which allows us to insert Dynamic Content into our Posts and Pages.

    3.) Popup — allows us to Popup anything from Posts, Dynamic Contents to Optins.

    4.) Conditional Visibility and Logic — where we can display and hide elements according to certain defined conditions.

    5.) Loop Grid — which allows us to create our own Custom Post, Page, Woo Commerce and CPT Loops.

    These entire features, are all I’m asking you to build for us.

    I need to be this exact, so that you will know and understand what I’m asking of you.

    CONCLUSION
    As I have said before, which I will say again, it is a fact without any debate that–For years, you’ve been second fiddle: always taking second place, trailing behind Elementor.

    But Today, Gutenberg gives you the opportunity to define your own individuality.

    Since Elementor is something we love, and we don’t see Elementor ever becoming Blocks, take up the task of becoming our Elementor in Gutenberg Blocks.

    This is my intelligent suggestion, and I believe it is the way that you should go.

    If you are not ready to give us everything that Elementor has, in Gutenberg Blocks, then you will not be too relevant, and would just be a Company that is just playing.

    Stand up to the task and be our Elementor in Gutenberg Blocks– by providing us with everything Elementor has, as Gutenberg Blocks.

    Regards.
