Trying to find something that literally clones the uploads folder onto my hard drive, surely it cannot be that hard!

Comment on WPForms vs Gravity Forms: Which Is the Best WordPress Form Plugin? (2024) by Sue https://athemes.com/reviews/wpforms-vs-gravity-forms/#comment-2819030 Wed, 14 Jun 2023 23:36:35 +0000 https://athemes.com/?p=2294269#comment-2819030 A very comprehensive review – thank you! 🙂 One additional thing to note (as at time of writing this on 15 June 2023) is that the free version of WPForms no longer stores submissions in the admin area of WordPress. May not be a deal breaker for some users, but something that may help to inform a decision whether to go with that or not.

I’d been using the free version on a couple of sites (including the one I’ve added with this comment). However I hadn’t needed to check submissions in Admin for a while so hadn’t realised they were no longer available. They obviously had been ‘stored’ there … could be seen as a faint greyed out submission list behind the popup saying upgrade required to view them.

Comment on How to Embed a PDF File in WordPress (A Step-by-Step Guide) by S Reams https://athemes.com/tutorials/embed-a-pdf-file-in-wordpress/#comment-2818736 Mon, 20 Mar 2023 12:07:17 +0000 https://athemes.com/?p=2225234#comment-2818736 Thanks so much. The PDF viewer was not free without upgrading my WordPress plan. The Google drive method worked fine, but I think google has updated their screens, it looked a little different, but I was able to find everything.

Comment on Elementor vs Avada: Best WordPress Website Builder? (2024) by Rein https://athemes.com/reviews/elementor-vs-avada/#comment-2818712 Fri, 10 Mar 2023 16:26:21 +0000 https://athemes.com/?p=2352529#comment-2818712 I think you forgot something important. In Avada you can build a page depending on the type of page: category, single post, etc with conditional statements.

I’ve already looked at the Elementor documentation a few times and couldn’t find anything besides conditional statements in header and footer.

My preliminary conclusion is: if they are simple websites, there is no difference. As soon as it is a slightly more complex website, it is best to use Avada.

Comment on The 9 Best WordPress Page Builders Compared for 2024 by Alain Mazy https://athemes.com/reviews/best-wordpress-page-builders/#comment-2818692 Sun, 05 Mar 2023 15:13:47 +0000 http://athemes.com/?p=574368#comment-2818692 Hello, all of this is suggestive, I haven’t tried the 8 builders, but 3, Elementor, Divi and Visual Composer.
I like to start from a blank page and do the whole site with the builder, sometimes supported by code.
Elementor, I didn’t get hooked, I quickly felt blocked.

Divi, I would be interested in using it, since I have it free with my accommodations. But unfortunately, I quickly struggled with it, especially in responsive. big difficulty with the adjustment of the columns and a rendering in real which did not always correspond.

Finally, when I first launched Visual composer, it was kind of love at first sight for the smoothness and clarity of the UI.

He did not disappoint me. The only thing I could fault V.C. it’s his UX, the interface could be more efficient, faster with less mouse clicks. So, you will understand, I do not endorse the ranking here at all.

There is another one that is beginning to make itself known, it is Betheme, at the first opening it seduces with its design and the apparent quantity of elements. But unfortunately, it is not developed, in any case, the builder. I couldn’t manage to adjust the size of my logo, I never found the adjustment of the columns, and the worst, the adjustments applied as colors simply did not work on certain basic elements.

Which is a shame, because Betheme is the cheapest of all, €60 for a license 1 site for life.
Because unfortunately, the others, it’s every year that you have to pay!! Visual composer offers a 1 site lifetime license for $149 and recently offers a complete package with hosting included.

Small criticism, it is not translated into French .. But it does not matter.

And one last thing that must count in the balance is the after-sales service, and on this side, Team Visual Composer are close to their customers and are very accessible, they are open to criticism and suggestions.
