Page Builder By Siteorigin

Thanksfor the reply. I started disabling and enabling all plugins one by one to see if any causes t he problem and found a plugin that made the Page Builder crash. I disabled that one and now can use the page builder again. Thanks.

Like other WordPress page builders, SiteOrigin is here to help you build a powerful and responsive website with some CSS and zero coding knowledge. There are a few themes from their end you can use (both free and premium) as well as free and Pro page builder plugins.

One of the most popular and useful features of SiteOrigin is Custom Post Type Builder with reusable Page Builder layouts and WooCommerce templates. It is a bit different from other tools and I will give a bit deeper explanation on how to use it.

When you name your Portfolio item, it will let you add content to it. Remember, you can only edit widgets that are not part of the global template and those widgets will be marked with read me a text. And last but not the least, how to add those posts into a post carousel or a post loop widget.

For WooCommerce, all actual individual items you need to build the single product are distributed as a widget, which allows you easy creation of products. You can create a layout and use WooCommerce widgets like price, SKU, Add to Cart, Short/Long Description, Product Image, Title, etc.

There is also one very useful widget for a product upsell, which is giving you the freedom of using WooCommerce Upsell functionality. However, please note that the design of these widgets and WooCommerce pages is set by your theme CSS and it can be edited by using CSS.

And what is always one of the things you should check before installing any plugin are reviews and ratings on the WordPress.org plugin repository. For SiteOrigin, there are 922 5-star ratings so far and the recent reviews are awesome.

The learning curve is steep and you need some previous experience with WordPress and an understanding of widgets and elements. Lack of a front-end editor is also a limiting factor for newbies and it definitely requires some CSS knowledge and skills to make your end result look awesome. However, on the other side as a developer, most of the features are quite convenient even though not much intuitive for beginners.

The ecosystem around the SiteOrigin is not that big as for some other page builders, but we need to take into account it has 1 million active installations for the Free Version and 900.000 for the Widget Bundle and some of the external add on authors have 30.000+ active installations.

Trying to decide between Elementor vs SiteOrigin Page Builder to build your WordPress site? By the active install counts, these are the two most popular page builders at WordPress.org.

Elementor lets you use all of the core WordPress widgets in your designs. Beyond that, it also adds 28 of its own widgets. Furthermore, you can use third-party Elementor addons to get more widgets.

To get access to additional widgets, you can install the free SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle. In February 2020, SiteOrigin released its biggest Widgets Bundle updates which includes a mix of new features and fixes, many based on user feedback and requests. In total, it adds 26 of its own widgets.

To control whether or not individual widgets display on different devices, SiteOrigin Page Builder does not give you a simple toggle like Elementor. But it does give you a special Mobile CSS Styles box that only applies styles when in mobile view.

Like Elementor, you can add custom CSS classes or IDs to various elements. But SiteOrigin Page Builder also takes things a step further by letting you directly add CSS style attributes to rows or widgets, including the aforementioned Mobile CSS Styles option:

Elementor Pro version 2.9 now includes full site editing where you can do theme and page editing in one page. You can now edit your header and footer using the Elementor Pro options directly in the page editor.

Both page builders Elementor and SiteOrigin work great with our Astra theme which you can see in the many example screenshots above. You can also consider beaver builder, which compares well with Elementor (Elementor Vs. Beaver Builder).

Thank you for supporting LearnDash.

But I have a wish: Can Astra Pro add a feature to allow any PageBuilder to style LearnDash lesson pages?

Currently, Divibooster.com makes the Divi LearnDash Kit which allows Divi to style LearnDash lesson pages on any theme.

It would be nice to have the same feature for Elementor Pro and others.

Great comparison. In my practice, webpages built with site origins is faster loading time than built with elementor. So I still use siteorigin for website that short loading time. If siteorigin have inline editing like elementor, I definitely choose it.

Great comparison, i have used both plugins. I must say elementor is top page builder currently..

Can create/edit to great greater extent, Plus 3rd plugins makes its more awesome.

I suggest to get elementor pro & astra agency plan for awesome page building.

Yes I use both. I was skeptical about moving to Elementor but I have to say that although I found it a bit tricky, there are more features. SiteOrigin produces a solid stable responsive site but it just has less bells and whistles. The CSS editor is better and their support is superior. They really help with giving you code to do what you want. BUT, I have to say that I think Elementor leads in features and design possibilities and more people are creating great plugins for Elementor than for SiteOrigin currently.

I use both but have found Elementor more flexible for my needs. Elementor also seems to have more development going on which of course only means more functionality. I am thinking about converting my SiteOrigin sites to Elementor.

The pages created with SiteOrigin are more lightweight, make less HTTP requests, make less database queries and have a much faster page loading speed. This means that SiteOrigin source code is a lot more optimized for page loading speed and efficiency. Elementor has a better interface and more options for designers but sadly the pages created with Elementor are slow if you compare them with the pages created with SiteOrigin.
