 * The bits of that work are awful and not intuitive in any shape or form.
 * It looks awful
 * It clashed with Site origin PageBuilder (which, to be fair is a superior editor,
   so why do i need this ?)
 * The rest doesn’t work. Many error messages.
 * I’m all for progress and improving WP but why has any time or effort been wasted
   on trying to make something that already exists in the form of SO PB ? how many
   hours of peoples time have been wasted on this subpar concept (just look a the
   reviews !!)

 * Thanks for the feedback. I am sorry you got a bad experience when combined with
   the Site Origin page builder. Can I ask did you still get error messages without
   the page builder? That’s not saying it won’t overtime work with the builder but
   I would like to work out where the errors are coming from.

 * Hi Tammie,
 * I have tested the plugin on various of our test sites. On all of them I get the
   error on all blocks.
 * “This block has encountered and error and cannot be previewed”
 * Removing SOPB has a minimal effect of a few blocks starting to work and I can
   see the editor and use it , but then they randomly fail again and return to the
   error. I returned one site the standard WordPress template and it still failed.
   Deactivated all plugins in addition but no effect.
 * A few other thoughts
 * The editor seems to sit in a very narrow box in the middle of the screen ? this
   seems unusual to me and gives a false impression of the look and feel of the 
   item you are creating.
 * Finally , we use SOPB (selected over various others for its simplicity and ease
   of use for our customers). For us, I feel this plugin needs to mature to that
   level before it is pushed out (if it can’t do what SOPB can do it is no use to
   us – I would not offer this tool to our customers as its would be a step back).
 * If its intended to just be an editor its too much and if its intended to be a
   page builder its too little.
 * hope this is helpful !
