I’m not sure the best place to ask this so I’m going to try it here. I’ve been using the divi theme/page builder for years and am considering moving into Gutenberg page building using Kadence and Kadence Blocks. However, there are several features of Divi that I have become quite reliant on, and I’m trying to find how to accomplish some of it on Kadence. The first is Divi’s Theme Builder. This is often paired with Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post Type. Lets say I was building a small business website with 15 different services and each needed it’s own page. Rather than build 15 pages separately, I can build one template and load all service into and a custom post type. The template page would then be applied to all “Service” custom post types. How would I do something similar using Kadence?

The other feature that is very handy on the Divi page builder is the ability to save custom styles to any “block” that can be changed globally. Let’s say I add an image box to the page and define border, border radius, and drop shadow and I want that to be set for certain images I add to the site (not necessarily the default). Let’s say half the images on the website have this style set and I change my mind about the drop shadow. I can change the global setting and all those images are updated immediately rather than having to go back and touch each one. (I’m sure I could to this via css, but I’m curious if Kadence + Blocks has a method of doing this from the visual builder.)

Any insight into either of these is greatly appreciated.
