However then soon we realized about the Gutenberg project which we all know is coming to WordPress as a default page builder app or content editor app which looks awesome and we are all looking forward to it since Gutenberg is going to be bundled with WordPress itself that’s definitely going to give tough time to all 3rd party page builders and even that is not the case there are some really big players around like Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder & others which is going to be hard to compete with all of those awesome tools by us, to be honest. And also being a completely free project and providing almost all the great features in free version this is really not going to help us to put that much effort and money in development and maintaining Tailor project, unfortunately.

So the main reason for us to discontinue Tailor is due to finance which Tailor needs to keep on its development & marketing to compete with all the big players and specially Gutenberg.

We tried to bring a new life to Tailor when it was dying (not really) and put in much money in the process as much we can and bring in some efforts to maintain and even developed some features under the hood which were not completely pushed live, but unfortunately practically its been difficult for us since day one and thus we are sadly announcing to discontinue work on Tailor.

Now we would suggest you move on your websites to another page builder and the recommendations right now would be Elementor, Beaver Builder or Divi and keep an eye on Gutenberg project which looks pretty cool and we are sure that will bring much value to WordPress and bring a great editing experience built-in.

Now with that said, if anyone is interested in taking over this project and think you can put in the time and money it needs to continue the project and make it alive, you are most welcome to discuss it. If you are interested, you may reach us via Twitter, Facebook Page.

Thanks!

Have you ever faced a challenge in creating a complex layout in WordPress using your page builder? and you had to either give up on that or achieve it with an ugly hack? Then let’s see how easy you can create complex layouts in Tailor page builder.

Let’s break this into two parts. Creating a complex layout will require nesting columns or rows so you can structure your page layout as per the design but you will also need the ability of nested elements or content blocks, like there may be a need to add an image gallery in a Tab or simply add a button within a toggle/accordion content.

Does your page builder allow you that much flexibility and power without a hack in an easy way? No? Then let’s see how Tailor does it.

Tailor needs more time and efforts!

Until now Andrew has been doing all of the work on Tailor, but moving forward Tailor needs more time, money and a bigger team to manage it. As a result of other commitments, Andrew has not been able to maintain the rapid pace of development that he desires (and the plugin demands), which is why the team at Enclavely has taken over. They will be dedicated to delivering bug fixes and new features, ensuring that Tailor has a bright future.

Who is the new management?

Tailor has been acquired by Enclavely, inc. Enclavely is a startup founded by two experienced and skilled friends Munir Kamal and Essa Mamdani. Both were early adopters of Tailor and have been supporting Tailor since the beginning. They’ve got the necessary skills and experience needed to keep on developing and improving Tailor Page Builder. Andrew is also part of the team and will continue contributing to Tailor’s ongoing development.

What will be the future of Tailor ?

The Enclavely team is excited and have great plans to improve Tailor and take it to the next level. You can expect regular updates and new features added to Tailor based on the feedback we have been receiving from the users. We also have plans for a “pro” version, but will continue to improve the free version as a matter of priority. Tailor will remain clean, light-weight and easy to use but also highly extendible for power users that demand more control (through the use of extensions).

We need your help!

We need your help to improve Tailor! You can help us by finding bugs, supporting other users or spreading the word about Tailor. We also look forward to your suggestions regarding new features that you’d like to see in Tailor.

If you can help with anything mentioned above, please reach us via Twitter, Facebook Page, Join the new Facebook Group or you may write us at info@tailorwp.com. No big commitments needed!

We are committed to improve Tailor. Wish us luck!

Now, using the free Advanced Features extension for Tailor, you can now stretch Section elements to the full width of the screen even when the content area of your theme has a maximum width.

After activating the Advanced Features extension, you will be presented with three width options.

1. Standard allows you to specify a maximum width for the content area, as you always have.
2. Stretched background ensures that the actual background of the section (color, image or video) occupies the full width of the screen. This applies even when the theme has a sidebar.
3. Stretched background and content, as the name suggests, ensures that the background and content of a section (i.e., your Tailor elements) occupy the full width of the screen.

Combining this with a minimum height (tip: use 100vh to have the section take up the full height of the screen) and the versatile collection of Tailor elements, you can create impressive full screen hero sections, sliders and more.

Those device-specific widths will now be used!
