Like a few others who have posted before me, I’m looking to use HivePress with the Kadence theme.
I’ve asked the Kadence team who have created a topic for me on their road map of potential updates, but I need help getting it approved.
All you need to do is login or sign up and click +1 - feel free to add anything to the thread, as well.
I have attempted the integration myself, and whilst I’ve manage to solve the issue of adding the menu/header items; the blocks created by HivePress aren’t styled properly whilst using the Kadence theme. This amongst a few other issues are preventing me moving forward with my project, and so I’m desperate to get this resolved as soon as possible.
I’m not a professional developer, but I think it’s mainly just CSS issues that need fixing?
The listings blocks lack styling, and the category tags are displaying in the wrong place.
Vendors blocks are missing styling.
Categories blocks seem the worst affected, with all of the information displaying below the block. The block is is only about half of its usual size, and lacks the overlay mask thing. The listing count position is off, as well.
I’ve tried copying parts of the HivePress .css into my Appearance > Customizer, and have made some improvements, but it’s still not looking as intended.
Thank you for your input. We will check what options are available for integration, but if Kadence has its own custom page builder, we recommend using the core WordPress editor as it will improve the speed and weight of your site.
Like HivePress, I believe Kadence is coded with very high-standards, so for someone who knows what they’re doing, I’d expect the integration isn’t too difficult.
Kadence don’t offer a custom page builder like Elementor does that ‘takes over’ the core WordPress editor, instead, they offer another plugin called Kadence Blocks which extends the Gutenberg editor by providing new blocks to design the website with.
I have built several sites with Kadence theme in the past and have never had any issues with speed or weight of the site. Like I said, Kadence is very well coded, and while it provides a great deal of customisation options; it’s not bloated with extra code.
I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to look into this, but just for when you do; I posted this in another topic and it related, so I wanted to copy it over to have it all in one place, if it’s of any use:
I can only speak for myself, but I love focusing on the visual aspects of designing a site. Hence, why I’d ideally like to use the Kadence Theme as it would open up a huge amount of customisation options; if it would only integrate well. The main issue seems to be with the grid/layout conflicting, as well as, Kadence Theme’s custom header builder and seperate mobile menu; but that’s another topic.
For now, I’m moving forward with ListingHive, custom CSS, and bloated plugins, but I live in hope!
