So fast, so versatile, such good support
Has revolutionised how I build WordPress sites, frequent updates and feature improvements keep everything flying, accessible and offers amazing support ( premium ) on top of it all.
Amazing speed and quality
Amazing speed and quality in resolving my issue. It included a correction of a Kadence plugin, which was implemented very fast.
Kadence Blocks & Pro Failing
I genuinely wanted Kadence Blocks and Pro to work. Purchased the pro version and am using the Kadence free WP theme. When this plugin is activated about 50% of the time I am unable to edit pages. When I try to edit a page in Wordpress I see blank pages. Nothing loads. To try and fix this I have had to deactivate all other plugins several times, which sometimes fixes it. I am having to move to another plugin just to stay productive. Huge disappointment.
Excellent support that actually solves problems
I have been using Kadence while developing a fairly complex WordPress project and have had a very positive experience with their support team. I recently reported two separate issues. In both cases, support took the time to understand and investigate the problem properly. The issues were eventually identified and logged as bugs, and I was provided with working temporary solutions that allow me to continue development while waiting for permanent fixes. What I especially appreciate is the communication throughout the process. The responses have been professional, helpful and technically relevant, rather than just generic troubleshooting steps. Excellent support and a very good experience overall.
Excellent Support
I have been using Kadence Blocks for a few years now and recently ran into what I thought was an issue with one of their blocks. I contacted support and they immediately jumped on it and figured out it was not actually their plugin but another that was conflicting. I cannot commend them enough for the professionalism and knowledge they showed while fixing this issue. Thank you Rajiv!

Kadence offers amazing support!
Kadence Blocks is powerful on its own, but the support takes it to another level. Brent Wilson was fantastic—he patiently helped me work through a custom scripting solution to improve accessibility. I really appreciate his dedication and expertise!

Clusterf*ck
Premium user. I've never seen anything so convoluted, confusing and UNINTUITIVE! I can't get any work done as I'm constantly trying to uncover how the stupid thing functions. And they keep stacking complexity as if that's going to make it better. Support and documentation are so scattered or simply non-existent… Don't even bother googling for answers, they don't exist. Even AI can't decipher most how this ridiculous theme works; it returns unrelated nonsense because there's no sensible documentation for it to draw from. Wish I'd never gotten involved in this madness.
For Us, Major Disappointments
As in my other reviews, if you are coming in from working with Gutenberg you will likely LOVE Kadence’s Pro Blocks. If you are coming in from Divi or Elementor you may really struggle as we have.We have encountered strange dead ends like unstylable components like pagination in the Posts Grid Carousel. The mega menu not working with dynamic menus is for me like insanity. Clients change nav items and then they will have to pay us or someone to manually update mega menus because they are manually populated. Coming in from Divi it feels weird that some Pro blocks combine Kadence and Gutenberg blocks and that Kadence’s font size options like SM, MD, L don’t match Gutenberg’s S, M, L. Again if you come from Gutenberg you might already accept this, but from other builders it feels broken and inconsistent.Kadence blocks leave a door open for addressing accessibility issues, but they could be so much better especially with typography spacing.There could be better, clearer relationships with the Customizer.We frequently experience what feels like bugs with sizing options in blocks. We’ll try to click an option and it won’t activate, or we can’t change measurement units, or we will change something and the value won’t stick. For us it’s a lot of extra manual re-work and tickets to understand what’s happening with that. That time adds up.And also the relationship with Design Library could be improved. For instance, Kadence has some cool image masking options, but Design Library layouts seems to use old methods like massive border-radius instead which accidentally made images disappear on our layouts until we changed it to the circle mask option.One of our biggest nightmares and there is no simple, straightforward solution is keeping all content left aligned without jagged indents. Apparently Kadence applies padding pretty arbitrarily to various blocks and can even be impacted on when you add a background color to an area? We sort of found a way to make things more consistent, but it’s a multistep process we then have to save into our own versions of custom patterns. With other builders like Elementor or Divi, stuff just lines up automagically. There is none of this multi-step process for code modules or blocks. Just feels so odd it’s so hard to do basic, consistent alignment.Sometimes is also feels illogical to us how some style options are in the Advanced tab instead of the Style tab. Again, Kadence has some powerful, granular options if we don’t run into glitches, but the logic of the whole thing takes us much, much longer than a system like Divi. (No, I am not a Divi affiliate.)We’ll keep giving Kadence blocks a shot. Try them out for yourself and form your own opinion.
