Good but needs some additions and improvements
By PrajwalDesai on April 16, 2024
Hi,
I have been using the full bundle version (theme and plugin), and I am happy with it. But I believe the plugin should get some new additions and improvements, and here are my observations.
- Bring some new blocks to the Pro plugin. From my observation, no new blocks have been added in years. For example, you can add new blocks such as table block, blockquote customization, notice/alert blocks, etc. I have also submitted the feature request, but unfortunately, it won't be considered until it gets many votes.
- Bundle multiple updates into one and release a single update. I often get many update notifications for the plugins and when I check the changelog, it contains a few fixes. If you can group these fixes into a single update, it would avoid having customers update the plugin several times.
- Add more demos. I believe there have been no new demos added in a long time. Not everyone uses AI to generate the pages, so new demos should be added for customers who would like to start a new site without having to re-build the entire site.
Blocks Offer Enough Flexibility

The blocks add enough flexibility, and the customer support is outstanding. I am a novice and have not had to hire any help.
Excellent Page Builder

Excellent page builder and excellent support !
The best Gutenberg plugin and theme period!

This plugin is perhaps the best one I’ve tried. One plugin can solve pretty much everything
and the customer support is unbelievably fast and helpful
Best Customer Service Ever!!

Nothing is ever too hard for the Support Team at Kadence. They have helped me out too many times for the membership I have paid for. Its been one of the best investments I have made. I can not remember how many times these guys have helped me our and helped my business succeed.
Flexible, highly customizable, fast

Really happy with Kadence blocks: there are more than enough elements to build a good looking website. All blocks are customizable and easy to manage. And of course they play well with Kadence theme.
A big thank you to the developers! :-)
Disappointed - No new blocks
By techwpie on March 21, 2024
Good set of blocks but sadly Kadence has not even added a single new block since I purchased the full bundle. The changelog only shows the fixes and nothing else.
Several users have requested for new blocks but they don’t want to add. I don’t know why they are not interested. When you call it a blocks plugin, you should atleast add 1-2 new blocks a year.
When you request for a new block, they say submit a request and only when you get the votes they implement it. So basically you will not get any new blocks.
While building the pages, we have to use their limited set of blocks. I hope kadence team listens to their customers who have trusted them and bought the life-time bundle and understands what customers need.
After 3 years... Then the light came !

After 3 years of Kadence…
I was completely new to wordpress. I switched from Godaddy with only one thing in mind : speed and light weight first. Because, they were good enought 15 years ago but, when Google changed, my website was just downgrading...
First try was Elementor that everyone was talking about... Speed and weight was horrible at that time... (Maybe they are better today, i dont really care now). After couple month trying to optimize when your a complete Neweee : pretty hard... Lot's of page were marked as slow in search console, if not all of them... After lot's of reading, i new i had made a bad choice even if couple people saif they had good speed... That was not my case and i could feel it in the browser : their is a lot of weight in it !!! (Not in a good way)
After couple month, that was enough... Was ready for more work in search for what i really wanted and needed... Then the light came !
KADENCE !!! Ok, i had to work a little more than Elementor but how much more value, speed, weight loss and so much more versatily... At least to me !
And even if i was about 1 year in Wordpress at that time... After 1 month of Kadence i new it was what i needed. I bought the full bundle !!! Every day, for all my website i never regret !!! Every new update !
This was the better mode i did since i build website.
I think i know what falling in love mean now !
Kadence Blocks super-powers the native Gutenberg editor
By Dean (wrwp) on February 6, 2024
This review is geared more towards a novice WordPress user who is struggling with the native Gutenberg editor technology .....
What Kadence Blocks does (the pro-version in particular) is it super-charges the functionality of the native Gutenberg block editor ... for example - using the native Gutenberg "Paragraph" block, vs. the Kadence "Advanced Text" block defacto replacement as a comparison ....
- the native Gutenberg "Paragraph" block currently only has "several" styling/settings features,
- the "Advanced Text" block in Kadence blocks on the other hand, currently has "several dozen" styling/settings features ...
the "Advanced Text" block in Kadence Blocks is just 1 of aprox. 27 custom blocks that comes in the Kadence Block pro-version (the FREE version has around 15 custom blocks) .... each Kadence block provides a higher level of functionality compared to it's native Gutenberg defacto replacement ...
all the powerful Kadence blocks working together in the native Gutenberg editor essentially give you "Page-Builder" like functionality, but without the extra page-builder bloat & occasional compatibility issues ...
furthermore, if you combine Kadence "Blocks" Pro with the Kadence Pro "Theme"; ... you then get the added "Theme Builder" type functionality/technology ... which is still a rare feature in the multitude of hybrid themes offered in theme market-place today.
While i'd luv to be able to spend a couple days putting together a blog post that goes into detail about all the added functionality Kadence Blocks add's to the native Gutenberg editor ... unfortunately, i don't currently have that type of extra time right now ... however, checking on the Kadence website, i notice they offer a 30 day money back guarantees ... my guess is; if your disappointed with the native Gutenberg Block editor, and you try Kadence Blocks Pro (or even Kadence Blocks Free) you'll encounter a whole new world of expanded functionality from native Gutenberg editor - that may significantly change your mind about what the Gutenberg block editor is capable of.
Perfect blocks and fast support
