So- I’m a huge Kadence fan as we’ve built nearly 100 sites. But I’m NOT a fan of the issues with 3.0. First I’m going to post my issues here (well, not my life issues.. but you know). Then I would like to know, can I revert back to the last 2.X build without a problem?

1. When saving posts that contain reusable blocks, I’m always prompted to update the block even though it’s not changed. Additionally, if I make changes to the page titles, or other SEO stuff – the update post doesn’t light up – so I have to go and do something stupid like add a space somewhere within the content to trigger that the post has been updated and the button lights up (but with wanting to update all untouched reusable blocks too).

2. Galleries are all messed up, what were pretty galleries with thumbnails, are now all crunched together (no gutter/spacing). The fix is to open the post and save again. Then it is fine

3. Info boxes – same as above… Spacing and the border of the info boxes are missing. Fix is to open post and save… then it’s fine.

But if you have hundreds of posts… this is untenable.

We use very few plugins that are not Kadence (and the others we use are not random, they are things like Rank Math)

Now for my personal comment. I know you guys work hard to get stuff right and I’ve bitten my tongue until today. But it seems that this was pushed out without enough testing.

And really – if I wanted that, I’d have stuck with Elementor. So more than anything, it’s disappointing… I know bugs happen….. but… simple things like this concern me when I see them going south. (among some of the other issues I’ve seen come up).
