The Future Of Enfold

In principle I would also welcome a vision of where the journey is destined to go.

But if you have ever worked with Elementor, e.g. the theme Jupiter comes along with this editor, you will appreciate the intuitive use of Enfold’s Drag&Drop. – Yes, Elementor is a powerful tool – but I get a similar layout result much faster with Enfold via drag&drop.

Leaving this principle would be completely wrong – it would mean that Enfold would give up a unique selling point.

The majority of users are not web design experts here, who by the way also appreciate the haptic quality, but private users, or at least only small to medium sized companies, who design their sites themselves.
I also get along quite well with Divi Builder, but even here a quick implementation of an own layout is not as possible as it is with Enfold. Not without reason there are 100s of templates that you can import.

If you really want to go there and use Elementor – please open a new theme with it and keep Enfold as it is.
If something is missing for non-professionals, it would be the element of dividers.
Those of you who know how to do it, can do it already – and have their own svg instead to style section dividers.

about bugs and bug-fixes:
it is a fact that a constantly changing world needs to experience new adaptations of proven methods.
The development of a WordPress theme is no exception.
The implementation of the GDPR was such a thing that the developers were approached.
Closing security gaps against constantly new cyber attacks is always a new challenge. WordPress code enhancements have to be adopted and any bugs that arise have to be fixed.

I think that the team offers fast and good work also here.

Strangely enough, with Microsoft operating systems, no one gets upset anymore about the fact that bug fixes have to follow all the time. Unfortunately this is also the case with OSX.

Why do you want an integration with eleementor? Eleementor’s code is very bloated, makes the website unnecessarily slow and therefore not good for SEO.

So you don’t come with your own front-end editor, just like Avada did last summer?

Enfold is awesome, and if you just keep updating it, this theme will have a very long life. The improvement I’d like to see is a re-working of ENFOLD > General Styling. Customizing anything in this area is a guessing game. For example, how would I change the background color of a search box? Only trial-and-error will tell, if you have that much time. Also, we all need better burger menus for mobile. A little work here would go a long way.

Keep up the good work! It’s a great theme.

Enfold is truly my favourite theme out there.
I can’t stand Avada or many others that I tried. I like elementor, and the way it can go with almost “any” theme, but… nothing beats Avia Layout Builder (I think this is the right name).

I am just curious to see what is being done regarding the Core Vitals. This is a concern for me.

I agree Yigit.
I am really looking forward to seeing new features in the upcoming versions along with performance upgrades.
WebP support is also VERY welcome – bring it on! :)

I have worked with Enfold, Avada, and Divi. I find Enfold Avia builder the easiest to work with. I have working with Avada, and don’t like how their container blocks are laid out. Divi is coming along nicely and lots of cool feature and live support as well, which is important for designers. It feels like Enfold development has slowed down a bit. Are there any big updates for 2022?
