Please go back to the old design !

Asked by Arthur 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

I have to say that the new SPPB design is worse than the old one. The FLOATING MENUS really suck. They are always on the way, they are hard to manage, many options don't work and I really do not like the whole idea. I was very comfortable with having all parameters on the left panel. The only real need to operate with blocks and elements on the page are options like COPY/PAST, EXPORT etc...
All parameters for the page object should be brought back to the PROPERTIES PANEL.
Front end editing only - was also very bad idea.

Here again is the list of some major bugs I reported already several times and so far not even one was fixed.

Template settings are not reflected in the site (background colors)
Pages disappearing from the SPPB page list !
Pages generate error 404 (when copied or saved under different name)
language selection/assignment for pages doesn't work
Blocks are being added in the button->top order instead top->button
Font sizing in Editor is causing problem (the Headers selection don't change the font size)

Here is a public video I have made today to show some of the super bugs which simply prevent me from using this product ! THESE HAVE TO ADDREsSED IMMEDIATELY OR I HAVE TO ASK FOR MY MONEY BACK !!!

I'm not sure what version precisely, but the version which kept all settings on the left-side panel. The floating Menus you implemented are almost always on the way, they also appear with a little pointing arrow confusing users, because they are pointing to the wrong page element.

You DO NOT TEST YOUR EXTENSION on the 4K screens and seem to have no idea how messy SPPB is when working on the pages.

Keeping most of the properties on the side panel is more convenient and also will cause less issues to you.
The only features we need on the page are icons to allow re-arrange objects (elements) layout. Move something above OR below, to the left or right etc. I also see the COPY feature but not CUT - why ?

WP Elementor has a nice feature allowing quickly Copy/Paste style of one element into another. THIS IS A MUST ! and I do not understand why this is not implemented. IT IS CRUCIAL !
If I have 20 Elements (blocks) on the page and want to change the text style (ie. color) I have to do it 20 times !!!!
Unless I am missing something THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE !

Thanks for your opinions. I will inform our team about it.

To answer your previous question - I believe version 3.+ was using the left panel where all settings were available.
Version 4.+ presented some new floating menus which really, really suck. Always in the wrong position, and often not showing the settings (I mean fields are blank). For example I open the text properties and everything is empty (despite I assigned text size, headers etc the day before).

Hi

I have talked with our team. They said " we already fix the section index order issue and language issue please share the backup so that we can test"

And yes we are going to release the backend with previous left panel like feature.

OK, that is a good news, but,....
the problem for me is that I need to finish and complete several sites and for the most part I am stuck.
I do not know when your update is cumming out. There is also a common problem that has been reported by me and other users with the licensing. Whenever new update shows up I loose an access to the components and blocks library and your plugin asks me to purchase the license.
Please understand that I am dealing with those issues for about two months and out of the long list maybe one or two problems were resolved , but the major ones are not.

For example - I was not able to install any of your templates successfully. NOT EVEN ONE!
The same applies to the extensions. I tried 3 of them and not EVEN ONE worked.
