Does Weaver Xtreme Plus integrate with the Liftoff AI Website Builder?

[stlane24]

Hello! I’ve been using Weaver Themes for years and recently created a site (https://www.regenerativecircularity.design) using Dreamhost’s Liftoff AI Website Builder. Would you know if Weaver Xtreme Plus integrates with the Liftoff AI Website Builder? It’s only been out for about a week and I haven’t found any info about it other than what is here:
https://www.dreamhost.com/ai-website-builder/
https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/30431847335828-Liftoff-website-builder-overview

I don’t have experience using Blocks and hope this isn’t too much of a dumb question, is Weaver Xtreme Plus compatible with using Blocks? And, do you recommend any particular Weaver Block theme(s) or subtheme(s)? I found these resources but I’m uncertain if they still apply. https://weavertheme.com/?s=Block+Theme#

If possible I plan to use Xtreme Plus with the following plugins. Do you recommend additional plugins than what’s listed here?  Weaver Show Posts, Weaver Show Sliders, Weaver Xtreme Plus, Weaver Xtreme Theme Support, and Design Patterns for Gutenberg by Weaver.

Thanks much for your help!

The site you’ve created is using a theme called Extendible. That would not be compatible with any Weaver content. (perhaps Show Posts and Show Sliders).

So, you’ve really switched to a new theme, and it may not actually be a regular free theme from the WordPress theme repository.

I am just curious here…..

Given that you have years of experience in Weaver Themes and now recently in Extendible, what is it that you are missing in Extendible, that you found in Weaver?

Other than the unfamiliarity with blocks (which we all have), what draws you to consider, to change themes?   Again… just curious….

Regards!

Thank you for your input, I was aware it was created using the Extendible theme as the default theme in the initial one-click automated install and setup. However, at this link https://www.dreamhost.com/ai-website-builder/ it says, “Liftoff lets you build your site on your terms. Enjoy full customization and the ability to install any themes and plugins you choose. Experiment with new designs and functionalities, giving you the freedom to evolve your site without limits.”

At one point after I created the site using the automated AI feature I installed the Xtreme theme on the .design domain and it appeared to look and function much like it does at: https://www.regenerativecircularity.com where I’m using Xtreme Plus with the previously mentioned plugins except for the Design Patterns for Gutenberg by Weaver of which I’ve just discovered.

So before I took the time to install Xtreme Plus and accompanying plugins I thought I’d check with you to see if you might be familiar with it and have any guidance or recommendations, particularly for using Blocks, since I’m not familiar with using Blocks within Xtreme Plus and would like to learn anything that facilitates my website development without getting into coding.

I may go through the AI setup again and try to use Xtreme but I think it requires a Block theme. So that is why I was asking about Block themes for Xtreme.

Thanks again for your help!

I haven’t used the Extendible theme except with the initial creation of the https://www.regenerativecircularity.design site. Other than that, I’m not familiar with using Extendible. I like using and am more familiar with Xtreme. But by just poking around a bit, I can tell Extendible doesn’t have many of the features that I like and am familiar with in Xtreme Plus like quick and easy customization of colors, menus, widgets, etc.

Other than some experience with Elementor, I’m unfamiliar with using Blocks, but I can see how it can likely simplify and speed up development without getting into coding. Since I’m doing more sustainability work and less web development, I don’t have time to learn and keep up with coding so I’m looking for ways of developing and maintaining websites without the need to code.

Thanks for asking and best regards!

The block editor is an acquired taste when you are used to the old ways, but ultimately does make it easier to do a lot of things. There is also a plugin called the classic editor plugin that allows you to have both the classic editor and blocks available, and to switch back and forth as need on a page-by-page basis.

A block theme is something different that applies the block system to all aspect of a theme, and not just the editor, and Xtreme is not a block theme. But Xtreme does work with the WordPress block editor which is the new standard.

Wow, my apologies for the delay. After 17 months, while researching some web development information for my site, I’m just now seeing this and wanted to thank you for your help, Scrambler! I just installed the Classic Editor plugin by WordPress.org.
