Visionary – but also somewhat buggy
-
During most of 2022 I have used the Twenty Twenty Two theme. Here is my verdict. I am not a new WP user. I’ve used WP for over ten years. That’s why I write this review.
To be honest: At first I did not like this theme. It had a totally confusing workflow. But having worked a bit with the theme and the ideas behind it I begin to see the visions of it. There are indeed many good ideas.
I still miss a very good tutorial about FSE. A solid introduction to the many blocks. Examples of workflows if you want to create a design from a “blank canvas”. Such tutorials are appearing on YouTube. That’s fine. OK that’s probably for the core teams, since it’s not the theme per se.
Working with this theme is often counterintuitive. For instance the new way for adding menus is far from user friendly. Probably the menus are not part of the theme per se. But then – to the user it’s part of the WordPress experience.
But when you learn to use Twenty Twenty Two I often think ” .. whoaa! cool! this or that’s a nice idea!”
And then suddenly – and then far too often for my liking – things just break down for no reason.
The responsive styles don’t work satisfactory at all. On many devices things just break apart or look weird.
The theme looks cool on first sight, but it is far from stable. My year with this theme was like being in a beta-app under constant development.
