How I started to shift my good opinion about brizy into intensive thinking about Divi

Piotr Dominik

Ok, at first I was amazed. And I would be amazed until I had to made full custom project based on your visual editor from scratch. And this is buggy. And not little buggy but heavy buggy. 

Bellow You can find text formatting with same parameters, fonts, size, interline, and you see two complete different texts. Interline is wrongly interpreted. 

What is else at least a dozen of times I could not access pop up menus of adjusting things because with margin zero on them they are aligned to the beginning of wording, and guess what? you cant access hovers, they are cut. great, repeat that 50 times and 2 hours went away due to bad UX of you.

but that is not all, it's the peak of the iceberg. 
every time I edit one-page text breaks, by default when I edit text is collapsed, forget settings whatever you would save that. it looks good on preview, but lines are dropped in some stupid way over edition.

Do you want to have italic on mouseover? not possible. come on. really? i can't make button italic on mouseover? really?

setting colors is pain. the theme is stuck to theme color. so you pick new colors, save, bang not wanted colors from theme appears. so you repeat that two or three times and then it works. now multiply that over dozens of editions. it fails.

did you set default fonts over theme? forget about it, in twenty-four text block it will be forgotten and initial font will appear, just from nowhere. 

Do you want to make a menu with no margin? access that. on my page, there is added unwanted margin stuck to the menu. how to access it? not with the visual editor, it does not work that way. why is so? why there are margins and elements which should not where I do not want that? I do not know, a waste of time.

And many many more. Visual editor behaves like beta version 1.4, not final product. 

Well, nothing is worst than wasting time on fight with the interface and some defaults which should not default. 

Come on.

    Hi Piotr,

     

    Thank you for your message. From your description, Brizy has a lot of inconveniences and bugs but it isn't really. Daily we receive messages from our users who say only beautiful things and positive comments regarding Brizy and if Brizy would be like you say, nobody will use Brizy (inclusive me). I suppose that you are using the Wordpress version of the Brizy, therefore, I want to remind that in WP happens often some incompatibilities with plugins or the theme and in some your cases the problem could be in this. We can't test the Brizy with all plugins and resolve the problem of all plugins to make them compatible with Brizy, it isn't real. This is the main disadvantage of the WordPress environment.

    Unfortunately, from your screenshot I can't understand well the problem you encounter with the text, but I suppose that the browser zoom is set too much and therefore I kindly recommend to set it with 100%. Regarding element margins - yes, we know that if the element and column/row where is placed the element, has set the margin with 0px, then it is a bit difficult to manage with element option, but we have already opened an improvement on this topic and our designers and developers will investigate this inconvenience to solve it as soon as possible.

    Regarding the italic text for hover - yes, the italic mode can be set for the text from the button, but it will be placed also for normal text. Our designers find this option as an old-style and don't add it, but if you want to create this effect you can add a Custom CSS for the hover of that button.

    Regarding the theme styling - yes, brizy builder overwrite the theme settings and styling and they aren't available in Brizy pages. Therefore, in Brizy pages are available some predefined Styles and you can choose which one to use for Brizy ages. If you want to customize a style, you are free to do it.

    Regarding the margins of the menu - margin can have not only the Menu element but also the column, row and block where is added the menu. Therefore I kindly suggest check-in the margins for column, row and block.

    Regarding the text break - you said that is looking stupid on preview, could you give more details about this? 

    Thanks!

     

    Best regards,

    Sandra
