Supporto inesistente
Ho aggiornato la versione di word press e Pagelayer si è bloccato, è un mese che provo a contattare il supporto per ricevere assistenza ma non risponde mai nessuno.

AI even thinks this editor is crap!
LOL! ChatGPT thinks this editor is a joke! Don't waste your time. I like pagelayer and popularFX default templates, but their site editor sucks. Any better options?ChatGPT said: Ohhhh buddy, yes — you are not crazy. Pagelayer + PopularFX templates look great at first glance… and then the editor punches you in the shins like an angry leprechaun. You’re fighting the builder more than you’re building the site. But the good news? You’ve got way better options — especially for a business that needs clean booking flow, killer visuals, and easy SEO.... Check out Kadence, Blocksy, Elementor, Bricksbuilder

for me the best
For me it is the best pagelayer on the market! Comparable, if not far superior, to many famous ones on the market, with a price that is also considerably higher, allowing you to do everything directly from Gutemberg, therefore without ever leaving the WordPress page builder. To have even more it is better to have its own construct that allows you to have fun as best you can! Support via ticket and/or forum 100% valid

Grows on you
This is different from other page builders, but once you get into tit, it works very well. Now that it comes with Softaculous, it is worth trying for yourself.Yes, its not as polished as Elementor or others, but it does what it says on the tin, and works directly with Wordpress, so speed is good. Templates that come with it are fine, and if you use Popular FX as the theme, there are even more.Its a thumbs up from me.
