Bricks Security: The Surprising Reason I Didn’t Get Hacked

To my surprise, none of my Bricks sites were hacked in the recent security scare. Yes, I did update Bricks as soon as I heard about it. But it turns out my hosting company were WAY ahead of the game.

Thanks bro! Bricks Navigator goooood!!
Would love to see your detailed video on bricksforge
Great video!! I've been using Bricks + ACSS + Frames for 1-2 years now. Been really loving it all. However now I want to try working with Core Framework + Brixies, just to see which style actually suits me better. Kevin Geary has taught me a lot when it comes to accessibility first development, but now I want to see how I feel about CF and the ability to remove it when the site goes live.
Always worth experimenting with different approaches! Let me know how it goes.
Wow, the math comment made us comment. What an analogy!
I gave up with Wordpress. Too much software leasing going on. Not only does one have to rent Bricks, one also has to rent, plugins for Bricks. What a bloody joke. I'm back on static websites using HTML and CSS.
Will you update your course on Bricks Builder ?
Yeah, when Bricks releases Bricks 2.0 I'll start to make Build With Bricks 2.0. No idea when that will be though. The current version of the course is still very much in-date and current though.
6:41 That's the reason why I hate ACSS so much and don't understand why anyone would bother with the plugin. ACSS is basically the Apple of Bricks plugins with all its patronizing and in a way also in its constraints. Kevin himself is also so incredibly arrogant and full of himself: "Either you do it my way or you're a chump.". Every one of his videos I've seen has some kind of insult in it if you don't agree with him.
Especially handy now that bricks supports variables natively.
Is there any way we can copy this whole component, for desktop and mobile menu? Can you upload it somewhere please
Thank you David!
Mind boggling! Thank you for your tutorial! Mike
My pleasure!
Gutenberg still sucks 😂
No arguments from me there, Steve. I think it's even worse since I recorded this.
@@DaveFoy I'm very glad you're back online and teaching again. I learned a lot from your Elementor trainings back in the day. I just got your Bricks course as I've decided to retool my dev stack 🙂
Uh oh! Looks like I'm going back to school 😮 lots of new toys to invest in
Wow! I think you just convinced me to leave my old page builder behind and jump to Bricks 🧱. It's been a few years since I started programming with a Wang computer using punched paper tape, so now time to embrace my first framework using WordPress...
Hi Dave, I have been a long time divi theme user , yeah yeah I know 😢😢😢😂😂😂 thinking of switching over to bricks. Would you say that bricks is better than the other builders out there
Yes. 100%.
Hi Dave, I recently discovered your channel and I am simply fascinated! I am a web designer and I am in the process of transitioning from Elementor to Bricks. At this moment, I am looking to make an investment with a long-term perspective (I am not a big fan of annual licenses and subscriptions, and living in Latin America, everything is extremely expensive to maintain as a recurring expense). With this in mind and looking to have a workflow with templates that help me with my designs, is the following investment okay? BRICKS + CORE FRAMEWORK INTEGRATION + BRIXIES (which I loved!). I want to understand if I am not missing anything here, from what I researched, all three licenses are lifetime... I hope my inquiry doesn't bother you. Thank you very much, you are really clear in your explanations and I value your years of experience. You are genuinely one of the few and best content creators for Bricks. Regards, Agostina
Aww thanks, Agostina. That's kind of you to say! And yes, that stack would be awesome for your needs I reckon. Don't get bogged down with all the choice out there. Just pick a few tools that get the job done. Good luck!
A QQ. First off, brilliant to have you pushing your focus on Bricks. I too jumped on Webflow. Loved it. Seen the light, but needed to get back to WP. So Brick is the answer. However, I've now heard your and Paul (WP Tuts) not loving Woo Commerce to sell from. I can understand BUT what have you arrived at as the better alternative? I tried going though your videos to see if you have anything on that, but couldn't get to the answer. I'm right now hoping to make the fastest loading possible WP / WC site with Bricks. So if there is a better solution I would need to find this out ASAP. :) any reply would be very welcome and helpful.
Yeah, I despise WooCommerce, you're right! Had horrendous experiences with it over many years, and seen many other people having the same. I think if you're going to use it you have to go all-in and specialise, and get yourself some very good quality Woo specialist hosting too, cos it can run as slow as a dog otherwise. The WP database was designed for blogging, not the complexities of e-commerce. I like how SureCart offload all the processing to their servers, keeping things light on your end. I'm actually trialling SureCart at the moment with a view to using it to sell my courses etc. Really liking what I see so far, and will almost definitely be switching from my current ThriveCart. But I'm no expert, unfortunately. I stay away from e-commerce sites for clients now, it's such a specialist area.
@DavrFoy Really nice to see you back! So, if ACSS is mobile first and Bricks isn't, does that cause issues? I'm really considering implementing ACSS but this concern is holding me up. Thanks!
It’s great to be back! ACSS isn’t mobile first. Why do you think that?
@@DaveFoy Nm, I was confusing it with tailwind. 🙃 Your videos have been extremely helpful during my switch from E to Bricks. They have been an invaluable time saver. As a freelancer that means everything! Thank you! I'm looking forward to more videos!
"smooth scroll" thats what iam looking for,, thank you Dave,,
Thanks man.
Early this year, I purchased the lifetime license for Bricks Builder but have not yet had a chance to dig into using it. Will sign up for your Bricks beginner class. Thanks so much for these videos!
Glad you like them! Would be great to see you in the course.
Hopefully when I can afford it, I'll get ACSS, one of the elements packs and Fancy Animations - they are expensive here in Australia!
Yeah exchange rates can be a bit hellish, I know. Don’t feel like you need to get any add-ons unless you really need them. You’ll only know if you need extra elements till a project requires them, and strictly speaking you can write/copy the CSS for any animation. Fancy Animations just makes it easier.
Super helpful. I am applying this on a Div with Html tag set to Link. It works, but it's instant, how can i make it smooth scroll to the #section please
Could you try wrapping that div with a div/block and linking to that instead?
Thank you for doing this video it help a lot.
No worries, Mary. Glad it was helpful.
Absolutely fantastic! I wasn't expecting to find a couple of absolute gems...especially Bricksable! What a steal !!! Bricksforge is a much greater value than I thought...so versatile !!! One shock though, I am soooo pleased that I bought the plugin ACF Pro when I did (2020). It's the plugin that I never thought I'd use yet it's on every build I touch...and I'm overjoyed that I bought the Unlimited LTD when I did!! A veritable steal at US$60. 😁😁😁
Nice one Jim! Yeah, I’m quite pleased I got the ACF LTD when I did as well.
Hi Dave, excellent video, thank you! Fluent Snippets link in description seems to have some problem.
Ah! Thanks for letting me know. Turns out I'd put a load of wrong links in there. 🤦♂️ I was very tired by the time I wrote that description. All fixed. :)
Love your tutorials, looking forward to your future vids, especially your AT video. One question though, you did not include JetEngine for CPT, any reason why, I use it a lot (having bought the LTD) I dont mind moving to something else if JE is not recommended, just need to know why. Cheers.
I just don't like JetEngine. I didn't like it with Elementor, and I don't with Bricks. Always found it a bit bloated and occasionally buggy. That's not to say it's not good... it's just that I feel we can achieve a lot of JetEngine functionality either in native Bricks or with some other add-ons.
@@DaveFoy Yeah, I agree its bloated - I will give ACPT a spin - thanks for coming back to me .
One of the things that I found to be a surprise when purchasing and installing AT for the first time is that it comes with ACF Pro built in, which I wish I would have known prior to purchasing the LTD for ACPT, though both are great.
As I understand it, if you bought AT before April 1st 2024 you get ACF Pro bundled in. But if you bought after that date, you do still get it bundled in, but you have to buy a license to be able to use the pro features. So effectively, if that's you, you don't get ACF Pro for free any more.
What happened to Cwicly?
It's dead. cwicly.com
@@DaveFoy 😔If you don't use Woocommerce, what do you use when you have to create an ecommerce?
I don’t create e-commerce sites.
Dave, we are either kindred spirits, or the plugins you list a just a no-brainer, which makes me feel less special :)
Hey Alan - let's go with the former. 😉
wow... You the best, Dave. Your tutorials and reviews, as always, are full of grace and are explained at eye level and clearly
Thank you so much, Zamir. That means a lot.
Thank you very much, Dave, for mentioning our plugin Max Addons :)
You're very welcome. I'm sorry it was such a brief mention, I had a LOT to cover. :)
You forgot JetEngine, use that for when dynamic data requirements get more complex, otherwise I use free ACF. The rest of my stack is pretty much the same: ACSS, Frames, AT, WPCodeBox, WSForm, HappyFiles, GutenBricks & Motion.
Excellent set-up there. I purposefully didn't include JetEngine.
@@DaveFoyWhy? You had a bad experience?
I just find it a bit bloated and buggy. I think we can achieve most of the same functionality these days with native Bricks functionality and other add-ons.
Hi Dave, how did you create the "Success Pages" , "Legal Pages" etc. on the left sidebar?
Normally they're CPTs, which you create with dynamic data plugins like ACF
They're custom post types. I created those at the time with a plugin called CPTUI, but if doing it now I'd use ACF.
oxyprops and specially struucturezy (same developer) deserved a recommendation... IMHO
Brickscore and Scripts Organizer??
What, instead of GutenBricks? I don’t follow.
Thank you very much for the video. Just a question: I am looking for Tooltips to add notes in my articles. Is there an add-on able to create Tooltips for Bricks? Thanks.
This isn't an add-on, but Bricks has a way of doing tooltips natively with CSS: academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/custom-attributes/ Or if you have more complex situations requiring javascript: brickslabs.com/how-to-create-responsive-tooltips-in-bricks/
It's always a pleasure watching your videos, Dave. And I'm a paid subscriber of your trainings. :D It's always fun and never boring. I always learn something new. Every time ;-) So I thank you, Dave Foy, for creating these informative videos.
Aww thanks man! I'm so pleased you like them. 😊
Thanks for including ACPT, really much appreciated ❤
Oh no problem! A pleasure to include it. :)
Awesome round-up Dave! Thanks for mentioning our Motion.page and Core Framework! Would love to see it in future vids again 😎
Oh hi there David! Big thanks for dropping by. 😁 And of course, yes, I'd love to feature both in future vids. Thanks for everything you do.
Great videos Dave 👍🏻
Thanks, Amanda!
Dave Foy. Legend.
I'll take that.
although Gutenbricks is marketed as a client feature, I feel like if you're working with page templates and still want to include cool Bricks-built elements, even with dynamic data, you can do that. Same for blogs. No one is adding blogs through Bricks.
Yeah totally, good point. I use it a lot in the same way. People can often be quite confused about what GutenBricks does, so I've found if I simplify it as a client editing tool, most people can grasp that, and then start to see its many other applications.
Thank you for the series, Dave! The only plugin I find missing in your toolbox is Fancy Bricks. Other than that your choices are spot on.
Thanks, Michal 🙏
Great and entertaining again! Though I have about everything Bricks related, I agree with your pics... Instead of HappyFiles (that I do have), though, I use ASE Pro (Admin and Site Enhancements). Besides that, so far it's ACSS, AT and sometimes BricksExtras (while keeping an eye on BricksForge, but so far I didn't need it's features). Also waiting on my designer to learn Figma for her to use Frames for Figma and then me Frames for Bricks...
Thanks Nelson 😁
Dave, I enjoyed both videos and appreciate the overview of the different Bricks addons. I'm looking forward to your Advanced Themer video.
Excellent, thanks David.
Don't forget you get ACF pro included for free with Advanced Themer.
Not the case anymore for new subscribers.
Yeah as far as I understand it, if you buy AT after April 1st 2024 you do get ACF Pro bundled in, but you have to buy a license to be able to use the pro features. So effectively, you don't get ACF Pro for free any more. ACF changed the terms, not Maxime.
Awh, thanks for clarifying that Dave. Perfect. 👍
Was waiting for part 2- which dropped today. Dave's videos are always a treat. Excellent quality. The work, time and effort that went into making these videos is evident. Thanks Dave.
Nice one, much appreciated!
12,658 days a year! Ah-mazing!! 😂😂😂 As always-thank you thank you thank you!
Just wish the damn phone focused! 😂 😂 😂
