Thrive Architect goes more deep than Elementor, the Content Box, ablity to control the width of each Element, lightboxes, table widget.

Hi, Simply got to appreciate Wordpress. I work with several different page builders yet this one is one that I use a lot.
Thanks for the handy videos. 😀

Can you adjust the nav bar with thrive themes?

Hi, Can you do an updated video? Thrive Themes just released their theme builder recently. I'd love to get your take on it.

Hi Adam...thanks for this video. I am always interested in learning about other builders, although I have to say I am partial to Elementor these days. Unfortunately, sites that I inherit for maintenance aren't always set up in an ideal way. I have one that used Divi as the theme but VISUAL BUILDER as the builder. GRRR. I do not like VB and find it very hard to work with so I would like to switch it over to either Elementor (ideal) or Beaver Builder. Is this at all possible? Or do I risk the site crashing?

You're so awesome. Thank you for all you do.

Thrive themes will release new builder called thrive theme builder which allow to edit entire theme completely

[claudiapolena]

Hi ! I know my question has nothing to do with today video but I run some problems with my website and I don't find answer how to fix it. My shop page doesn't load on elementor the other pages are fine. My question is: May I delete the shopping page and create a new one? If I do that my products going to automatically go to the new page? I would love to hear your recommendations. Thank you so much, your videos have helped me so much. Thank you again.

I feel that Thrive Architect has stepped up its game. Everyone seems to have focused on Elementor and Beaver Builder I really think that Thrive is no longer just for making landing pages. The interface is a bit quirky and takes a bit of time to get used to. But I love how easy their controls are compared to the other page builders. Soon they will also be able to build your own theme and have dynamic settings similar to Elementor, Beaver Builder and Divi. Including their other plugins as part of the package, I really think it has good value for what they provide.

I also like some of the new changes coming from Beaver Builder. But they seem too slow to ship new features compared to the others. Like mobile editing and slider controls for resizing fonts and colors should have been shipped in 2.0. So they are a bit slow to the game.

All part of the crazy tech world we love! I have bb and beaver themer beta installed on a dev site I’m working on! The responsive mobile editing is crazy insane (AWESOME). Plus the addition of enhanced features of the text editor element is a huge improvement!

[sheridanbarrett]

I'm happy with Elementor. But yes with more competition hopefully it will help to be more innovative that what they already are.

[michaelpalombo]

I think Thrive Architect is currently technically leading...

Is Wordpress itself working on a theme builder for version 5.1?

[tonyreisdorff]

Hey Adam, One thing to remember when comparing page builders that I have not heard you mention is it depends upon your purpose for using them. If you are an agency then Divi stands above them all with its ability to add developer's touches and to clone any aspect of a build in order to easily and quickly use it again on another client's website. If you are not an agency and only creating your site for yourself then Divi is not your best choice; perhaps Beaver Builder or Elementor might be the better choice.

Can you do a review of Webflow? It's a whole different CMS. It had a lot of the features I was hoping to find with Thrive themes before they implemented the content templates & symbols. I switched over for a bit, but now that Thrive themes is also coming out with a theme, I'm switching back. I think a lot of these wordpress theme builders are getting inspiration from them. Thrive themes's symbols feature is named the exact same as in Webflow. Brizy has a dark overall theme like Webflow. I think Webflow is gonna be the next big CMS, just like how Squarespace is now considered at the same level as Wordpress.

You're a clever guy. I'm confident you will find another way to mess up :)

The thing I dislike most about Thrive is the co-founder Shane. I gave my opinion on something once and he was a douchebag in response. So, I won't be supporting them. Besides, they recently changed their policy from unlimited to only allow 25 installs for personal and 50 for developers and so for that reason alone I won't support them especially at their price point. Thrive is by far the worst value of all of the WP builders IMO but I do think it's a pretty nice builder.
