What Gutenberg editor enhancement plugins are available to replace Elementor?

When we use wordpress to build a website, if we want to use the page editor, maybe the first thing that newbie users think of is Elementor, which is really good. However, now the Gutenberg editor can actually realize the effect of Elementor editor, you can also cloud try oh.

Such as the above picture of this page layout, we must have seen in many sites, right, in Elementor, if you want to achieve this effect, drag a container into the left and right points, the first left to put a picture of the right side of the text, and then copy the entire container copy until the second, adjust the position of the second block of the left to put the text of the right side of the picture.

So how should this effect be done in elementor? It’s actually pretty much the same operation, and if you’re not too picky about the details, you can achieve it directly with the Gutenberg block that comes with wordpress.

Realization method:

Add the column module that comes with the wordpress Gutenberg editor and set it to two columns.
Add your own image module on the left to add a picture; add textual content on the left path.
Select the entire column, make a copy out of it, and then adjust the left and right columns for a different position.

Of course, wordpress comes with the gutenberg block function is still relatively simple, can achieve the effect is also relatively limited, want to achieve a more complex style although you can, but the operation is slightly troublesome. At this point we can through some 3rd party gutenberg block enhancement plugin to achieve.

So far, Yue Ran wordpress station building the most used Gutenberg block enhancement plugin were Greenshift, Kadence Blocks, Spectra, Stackable, Getwid. these plugins with any one of the free or paid theme can produce a good website, can be used as Elementor editor instead.

According to my own use, the most powerful Gutenberg block enhancement plugin is Greenshift, the paid version of the plugin activated there are 5 additional extensions plugin, can realize more functions and effects. Yeran wordpress website builder has basically used Greenshift for all the websites made with Gutenberg blocks since this year.

If from the point of view of ease of use and ease of operation, I personally feel that Kadence Blocks will be better, it is actually Kadence theme plug-ins, the free version of the function is stronger, if the activation of the paid version, it can basically replace the Elementor or even Elementor pro.

Spectra is Astra theme official production of a Gutenberg block enhancement plugin, this plugin I use is not particularly much, but I have a wordpress station project before the use of Spectra, the function is still relatively strong, basically Kadence Blocks have the function of it have, but the operation will be more than Kadence Blocks a little bit more complex than Kadence Blocks.

Yue Ran wordpress build website at the very beginning of building a website with Gutenberg, the most used plugin is Stackable, it is also very powerful, may be about the same as Greenshift, but I myself in the process of using a problem, that is, the use of Stackable to produce the page in the editing will be more card, which is really particularly difficult, so I haven’t used it since then, or putting this drawback aside, it’s certainly one of the top Gutenberg block enhancement plugins I’ve used so far.

Finally talk about Getwid this plug-in, this is a completely free plug-in, the function is also more, but it realizes the effect compared to a few other plug-ins look a little weak (but a little bit of hands-on ability, can also be done to look good), but there is nothing to be nitpicked about the free.

However, if you want to toss less and build a site more simply, it may be easier to use Elementor because there are many template kits that can be downloaded and used, such as these templates on our site, which can be imported and used by downloading and installing them to make a nice site quickly.
