ClassicPress Options

Since the release of Gutenberg, and it fallout ClassicPress has garnered a lot of attention. This is a fork of WordPress and is focused on Business Websites and is looking pretty good. It does seem in the past few months ClassicPress is coming into its own a bit and with some plugins now being created specifically for ClassicPress I do believe it has a future.

This weeks ClassicPress plugin is:

Elementor

https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/

Version:3.25.4
Requires:6.3 or higher
Compatible up to:6.7
Released:30 May 2016

The Lowdown:
While Elementor is a page builder theme it is also a plugin. Since I have adopted it for sites going forward I wanted to see how it performs on ClassicPress and well so far it is is great. I am of course using the Pro version of Elementor and the install and setup went smoothly. I am also using The customized Jello theme from JezWeb at https://www.jezweb.com.au/ who has taken the Hello theme and customized it up for a much cleaner look and feel.

Side notes:

I am in the process of setting up my first pure ClassicPress website and running experiments at the same time. I noticed that it is pretty clean on install with minimum amount of junk on initial install. I realize a couple things are needed by new users such as a sample post and page and a couple themes to choose from. So I thought I would run my standard first install plugin “Tasks After Install” which cleans everything up. Seems it does too good a job probably due to not recognizing ClassicPress. It removed all the themes except the basics needed to run the admin area. I do like that there are no junk plugins auto installed in ClassicPress.

I noticed that when you are doing a search using the repository it show you right away if the plugins are compatible with your version of Classic Press. You can also search with the tag “ClassicPress” to find plugins made to work in ClassicPress

To find a listing of ClassicPress specific plugins check out this link https://forums.classicpress.net/t/plugins-built-specifically-for-classicpress/1011?u=codepotent there is currently 37 plugins here and growing I look forward to the day they have their own repository. I can still recall WP when it had a small repository.

Closing out this Episode the Plugins I covered were:

John’s Plugins: Advanced Shipment Tracking for WooCommerce – 3, Table Reservation – 3, Woocommerce All Discounts – 4, WHA Crossword – 5, Elementor – 5
