- In this video I look at Spectra Pro. Spectra is the Gutenberg plugin from the makers of the Astra theme and the pro version is just now being released. There is a walk-through using Spectra Pro in the Full Site Editor and a discussion of how Spectra and Spectra Pro is being positioned, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

I'm elated to see this from you!
I found this content so exciting and at the same time your voice so is so darn soothing. Love the combination.
I have Astra Pro Agency LTD but had moved on to GenPress. If Brainstorm honors the past purchase.... I'll immediately change my WP stack. Not something I do lightly. Anyway - thx again David. Happy Friday.
They've said multiple times it will be included in the Growth Bundle. I too am glad to see that are honoring the promise of including new products.
Thank you David for the useful video! Hope you'll make a compare review between Spectra Pro (+Spectra One theme) vs. Greenshift (builder & theme)
Great video. I am just starting with Spectra Pro.
Learn a lot, thanks.
At 17:58 You say you can add a custom field inline. How can i do that ?
I think you type your text and use the database icon on the contextual toolbar to add a custom field into the text where you want it.
For example we created a demo dynamic page.
I want to show this page in all posts after the title.
How can i do this?
So i read WP ASTRA THEME 'Custom Layout - Hooks' topic on the offical site.
I think we need to create demo dynamic pages in 'Dashboard > Astra > Custom Layouts' so we can show it where we want.
Is this right?
I had planned to buy Kadence but with Spectra plugin I will buy Wp asta full bundle.
I don't understand Dynamic content popup and sidebar option as well and if i want to show a dynamic page in every post with ACF plugin, should i created this page in 'Dashboard > Astra > Custom Layouts' ? Thanks
I think you are on the right track. I would look at custom layouts / hooks and see if there is a hook location to match where you want your content to show. Spectra Pro supports ACF.
I'm planning to add the following content in the Loop:
- Featured Image
- Star Rating Block
Will it display my individual star rating from each post just as it displays the Featured Image from each post?
Will I be able to turn Spectra's Star Rating Block into Featured Star Rating Block or Custom Field?
I'm thinking about upgrading but am not sure if it fits my use case.
I just checked and the rating is not a dynamic field. I think it would need to be one in order for it to work in the loop.
Thank you for checking and responding.
I hope there will be an update for the rating block in the future for more dynamic options.
Do you have an affiliate link for Spectra Pro? 😉
Thanks for asking. They are selling it on a different website and don't have an affiliate option available yet. Perhaps they will have a sale with the final version is launched so I'd wait a little bit.
Wonder if it will also support JetEngine dynamic content in the near future?
Good question. I haven't heard anything. If you are on Facebook you can ask / suggest in their group. Otherwise you will need to send them a feature request.
Everything that Spectra pro does, can be accomplished using CSS. I would never pay for any of this.
I'm not able to output custom fields with CSS so I think tools like Spectra Pro are useful and have a place.
Spectra is a lot behind Kadence and Stackable
There are some things behind, like an Astra theme builder, and there are some ahead, like Spectra One and embracing the Site Editor.
@@DavidMcCan Spectra is limited in fuctions compared to Kadence and Stackable, I don't like spectra
@@DavidMcCan I'm using dynamic content these days, Spectra pro is a lot behind Kadence in this aspect
@@HaifengZhu-pn3uq - Well, I use Kadence.
