Stellar, the parent company of Kadence, Solid Security, Solid Backups, and other tools, is launching Stellar Sites. Stellar Sites hosting will include access to Kadence as well as the plugins under the Stellar brand. Early access will open later this month.

Congratulations to the Kadence Blocks team for hitting the 500,000+ milestone.

A discussion of changing business practices and what is on the roadmap for the next quarter, including Kadence Blocks 4.0, global styles, Full Site Editing, and Shop Kit updates.

The Kadence team held their annual Amplify event yesterday. At the end Ben Ritner shared about a new plugin being developed called Kadence Insights. It is used in the Gutenberg editor for A/B testing. Of course it works with Kadence Blocks but is a separate plugin and works with any blocks. Much of the presentation is how to do an A/B test and a look at the UI. It reminds me of If-So.

The Kadence team did a live stream a couple of days ago. They discussed the new Advanced Header / Navigation Blocks and went over some of the features that weren’t demoed in the earlier walk-through. Ben also shared how he saw FSE going forward and he announced several upcoming new features for Kadence. These include options for gradient text, more templates, an Advanced Table block, and a new A/B Testing plugin. Looks like some good stuff coming.

Kadence has just released its new Kadence Advanced Header and Navigation Blocks. It is part of Kadence Blocks Free. You can use it with any block theme as well as with the Kadence classic theme. This is an awesome solution for block themes.

This is a free course on how to builder a WooCommerce store website using the free Kadence theme.

Here is a great video tutorial by CliftonWP on now to create a custom WP Admin dashboard using the Kadence Theme and Kadence Blocks. Note that although it uses Kadence, you can use the methods shown with other themes, block collections, or builders.

This was interesting. Ben Ritner from Kadence used Kadence Theme and Kadence Blocks to create the home page of the Rolling Stone website. Justin Tadlock used Gutenberg for the challenge. They had 30 minutes to see how far they could get. It seemed like Ben was going a little faster and smoother. I was surprised that Justin didn’t work in the Site Editor, but in a page. He brought his own custom theme.
