Wow. Based on an initial review this looks amazing. Congratulations! This could come in handy for future projects.

That'd be awesome. Here's a (very) brief writeup of the element that this initial version of the extension provides if you're interested: https://medium.com/@tailorwp/drag-and-drop-your-way-to-an-on...

The initial version of the WooCommerce extension is now up in the GitHub repository. Shhhh!! It's still a secret and won't be in the WordPress plugin repository for a day or two ;)

Yep. I've tested Genesis 2.3.0 using a few child themes are everything works fine!

That empty repo will be the WooCommerce extension, yes. It's simple at the moment, allowing products to be displayed using an element similar to the one that displays posts (i.e., all the usual options and ability to present them in a

Please do. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know.

I'd love to know what the biggest issues you faced were. Easy of use (for both users and developers) is a key goal with this plugin. The decision to have portfolio and ecommerce (i.e., WooCommerce support) as separate free extensions

I might consider releasing a paid extension or two, depending on demand. Perhaps a theme that really makes the most of Tailor's feature set (though to be honest I'd probably just end up releasing that for free too :P). It's

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
That's right. Given it's a WordPress plugin GPLv3 was the natural choice. I'm open to hearing arguments for and against though..

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
Yes, that's definitely going to be supported.

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
This is a WordPress plugin and is therefore dependent on WordPress as the earlier poster mentioned. You're certainly welcome to port the code to some other platform, but there would be a lot of work involved in that. I'm afraid

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
That's definitely an advantage. I'd recommend using it to see how it stacks up (you've got nothing to lose). Tailor aims to be easier to use, particularly for users who are already familiar with WordPress. I'm not per

Awesome! If it does look like something you'd like to use then I'd love to get any feedback and suggestions you have. You can email (hi@tailor.com), jump on GitHub or leave a note in our forum which can be found at http:/&

I agree. Given this particular forum I thought the free and open source aspect of it would be more interesting, but you're right: it's definitely not the drawcard of Tailor. That said, the benefits of it being free are obvious a

Tailor works with any theme. Plugins like WooCommerce that do something specific (like ecommerce) can easily be supported. In fact, I have created a simple WooCommerce extension for Tailor (also free) for people who want to manage product

Thanks to both of you! I'll update the landing page based on your recommendations.

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
Content is maintained separate from the plugin, but Tailor does provide it's own set of minimal styles for elements. The main problem it solves it getting "locked in" to a plugin (i.e., being left with nothing but shortcodes

Thanks! I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Hi all - given the timezone (I live in AU) my responses will probably slow down. Please go ahead and post any other questions or comments you have as it's been great to hear them and I will respond ASAP.

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
I guess so. They both set out to achieve the same sort of goal, but obviously have slightly different approaches.
21.
by andrewworsfold 10y ago
Thanks! Element data (or models) are stored as meta data and the content generated by Tailor is saved as HTML within the post (with a few exceptions for dynamic elements that use shortcodes). The benefit to this ofcourse is that when you d

Thanks. Much appreciated!

It should support any theme engine, if my understanding of what a theme engine is is correct. Did you have an example of one?
24.
by andrewworsfold 10y ago
Great! I'm definitely keen to receive any suggestions or feedback you have (hi@gettailor.com or the community forum at support.gettailor.com) and the project's up on GitHub too if you want to get involved ( https://gith

It's used to build page layouts using an existing theme (any theme). Certain effects would depend on the theme used. For example, a full-width slider or hero section would require a page without a sidebar.

by andrewworsfold 10y ago
Thanks for pointing that out! Should've spent more time on the landing page ;) I like the idea of hosting a bunch of sample pages built using the plugin too. I'll get on that. The plugin generates CSS based on the options end u
