Not for upgrading a site :o(

So it presents the modern style of block creation and editing.

I began a test by cloning an existing page and attempting to edit/upgrade that page to see what would happen – it erased that page entirely to create a new blank one.

The free version doesn’t seem to recognize or include any old page content in respect of an existing theme or lift the content out of a theme to incorporate into the new formatting, so if you want to upgrade an existing site it looks like you will have a complete rewrite on your hands.

There may be a way by shifting themes or reverting to a default WP theme as starting point if you want to retain content and conduct an upgrade rather then new build.

I have thirteen sites I am upgrading, so upgrading page-by page is the only effective option for ease of work.

INTERFACE TROUBLE

Have you noticed that most WP controls, like Save and Preview, are in the top right hand corner? Not in Brizy. It took me a few minutes to notice the quaint little sets of icons in the bottom right hand corner, tucked out of the way.

CONCLUSION

The block editing might be attractive, but an industrial-level work tool has to take account of the needs of professionals and ongoing work to deal with existing sites, especially with the advent of Guttenberg prompting the general design shift over to block formatting. Brizy doesn’t appear to offer a simple, accessible way to achieve control for upgrading.

NOTE: I only spent an hour looking into this with the one test page, I have much other work to do and cannot spend time on a comprehensive review, but I was not immediately impressed. I may return to this in the future when I have a few days to risk.
