That’s right—no more relying on limited theme settings, extra plugins, or tricky coding to get the header design you want!

What are the Advanced Header/ Navigation Blocks?

The Kadence Advanced Header/ Navigation Blocks are made up of three powerful blocks that work together to give you everything you need to build a customizable, professional-looking header and navigation. 

1. The Advanced Header Block lets you design adaptable headers, whether you need a sticky or transparent option to enhance your site’s look and functionality. 
2. The Advanced Navigation Block allows you to create dynamic menus, including sub-menus (dropdown menus) and mega menus, offering maximum flexibility for your site’s structure.
3. Finally, the Navigation Link Block lets you fine-tune individual nav links with precision styling to ensure every element aligns with your design vision.

Together, these three blocks form a complete solution for creating visually stunning and highly functional headers and navigation—all within the native WordPress block editor.

What makes these blocks truly groundbreaking is that Kadence is the first block plugin to seamlessly integrate with both: 

• Full-site editing (FSE) themes 
• Traditional themes, like Kadence 

So whether you’re using a modern FSE theme or a classic theme, you now have the flexibility and control to create the perfect header and navigation for your site.

How it works:

Watch Ben Ritner, founder of KadenceWP and Sr. Director of Product Development at StellarWP, recreate Webflow’s complex header using the new Kadence Blocks. This video will show you just how powerful these amazing blocks can be for your site!

Isn’t this new way of building site-wide headers exciting? Now, you may be wondering…

“What was the motivation for creating a header builder in Kadence Blocks when the Kadence theme already offers a header builder?”

That’s a good question!

While the Kadence theme’s header builder is a powerful tool and gets the job done for most users, it does have some limitations. By bringing a header builder into blocks, we wanted to solve two primary issues: 

1. We want users to have total control and flexibility over every design choice

With the Kadence Theme’s header builder, users could not, for example, add more than 2 buttons, add borders between header elements, or implement vertical headers without using some creativity (like putting desired blocks into the HTML widget) or adding custom code. 

With the Kadence Advanced Header/Navigation Blocks, we wanted to give users the ultimate flexibility and control over their header designs. Whether adding multiple buttons, creating borders, or building complex layouts like vertical headers, these blocks make it possible—all within the native block editor.

The second problem we wanted to solve was that…

2. We wanted to empower full-site editing (FSE) users to create reliable headers

Many FSE themes come with preset layouts and options that don’t offer the customization or advanced control needed for complex designs. Users often face challenges with responsiveness, advanced features like sticky or transparent headers, and the ability to fine-tune layouts without relying on custom code or third-party plugins. This lack of flexibility has made achieving unique, tailored header designs difficult.

Now, with the Kadence Advanced Header/Navigation Blocks, FSE users can enjoy the same level of customization as traditional theme users—without the limitations. You can create fully responsive headers with advanced features like sticky or transparent designs and fine-tune every detail directly in the block editor. This empowers users to build unique, reliable headers that are both visually engaging and functional. 

Key Features of The Kadence Advanced Header/ Navigation

With these robust features, Kadence ensures users can easily create headers that are both flexible and powerful, offering unmatched control and convenience for building custom sites.

Feature #1. Ease of Use

The Kadence Advanced Header and Navigation Blocks are designed for ease of use, enabling users to create simple menus quickly and efficiently. 

Onboarding is seamless, with a wizard-like experience and guided tutorials, ensuring users understand the header functionality right from the start. 

Users can start from scratch with a blank template or choose from a variety of pre-built designs, including basic headers, multi-row headers, and mobile-specific layouts. Prebuilt templates and the ability to import existing WordPress classic menus make the transition smooth. 

The visual header builder features intuitive drag-and-drop functionality for easy block positioning, while the navigation offers a hierarchical, visual menu editor with drag-and-drop ease.

Feature #2. Complexity Made Simple

The Kadence Advanced Header and Navigation Blocks offer complex header capabilities that allow users to design intricate mega menus featuring row layouts, icons, and multimedia elements.

We’ve taken the complexity of building a header and simplified it into a user-friendly experience that even non-techy users can enjoy. With mega menu containers, users can add a wide range of child blocks to build highly detailed menus with advanced styling. The blocks also support other Kadence blocks within headers, increasing functionality.

For mobile experiences, the feature includes specialized layouts and options for tablets and mobile devices. Additionally, it supports sticky and transparent headers, giving users even more flexibility for creative designs.

Feature #3. Multiple Editing Experiences, All in Sync

By combining the block editor with a visual builder experience, users can enjoy a dual approach for the header builder. This allows users to build headers either through the block editor or the Theme Customizer’s visual interface, providing flexibility to suit different workflows. 

For navigation, users can edit menus visually in the Gutenberg editor or in a hierarchical view like the classic menu editor. Both editing experiences are synced, ensuring changes made in one interface are reflected across all others, keeping everything consistent.

What features are available in the free vs. pro versions?

In the free version of Kadence Blocks, users gain access to the Header, Navigation, and Navigation Link blocks, along with starter header layouts for both desktop and mobile. Features include a visual header builder, sticky and transparent headers, advanced settings, and the ability to add any block to the header. It also offers a visual navigation builder, overall navigation styling, and sub-menu styling options.

The Pro version adds mega menus, navigation style overrides, highlight labels, images for navigation links, and an icon library with custom icon support for navigation links.

But that’s not all…

We also just released two additional new blocks: the Kadence Search (Adv) Block and the Kadence Site Identity Block

What is the Kadence Search (Adv) Block?

The Kadence Search (Adv) Block allows users to add advanced search functionality to their WordPress site. It offers extensive customization options, including the ability to choose between a standard search bar or a pop-up modal, tailor button designs, and adjust search inputs for posts, pages, or products. This block is compatible with various locations, such as headers, sidebars, and widgets, and includes advanced styling settings for complete design flexibility.

What is the Kadence Site Identity Block?

The Kadence Site Identity Block offers a flexible way to display and style your site’s logo, title, and tagline. Ideal for creating cohesive branding, it allows you to easily customize layout, typography, and alignment. With options to adjust logo size and add dynamic links, this block integrates seamlessly into headers, sidebars, or anywhere else you want to reinforce your brand. It also includes advanced customization features to ensure your site identity looks sharp across devices.

That brings the total number of new Kadence blocks released to five!!! We hope you’re really excited to try out these incredible new features.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s Next?

While this release brings a significant level of flexibility, it’s just the beginning. We have future plans to add more, and improve what we’ve started with. Some things to highlight are:

• Adding Headers to the Pattern Library—In a future release, we plan to allow users to add headers created with the Kadence Advanced Header/ Navigation Blocks to the Pattern Library.
• Account Block—We will provide a block that makes it simple to display a login popout modal if the user is logged out and custom account links if the user is logged in.
• Cart Block—While WooCommerce core offers a cart block that you can use in your header, its options are limited, and we know our users will want more, so we are planning to make this soon.
• Much More!

By the end of this article, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of the Pattern Hub, the Block Design Library, and how patterns work in WordPress. It also includes a glossary of terms and insights into our rationale behind the rebranding. 

What is the Kadence Blocks Design Library? 

The Design Library is a built-in feature of the Kadence Blocks plugin. It allows you to easily drag-and-drop predesigned content into WordPress posts and pages. 

Kadence Blocks boasts a collection of over 650 prebuilt rows of content – called “Patterns” – within the Design Library. It also offers comprehensive Page templates. Patterns and Pages in the Design Library are categorically organized to streamline your search process. From essential website pages like Home, About, and Contact to specialized patterns featuring Lists, Testimonials, Pricing Tables, and beyond, the Kadence Blocks Design Library caters to a broad spectrum of website design needs.

The Design Library is included in the free version of Kadence Blocks and extends its offerings to premium patterns and pages through the Pro upgrade. Nothing about this part of Kadence Blocks, or its name, has changed.

The Kadence Pattern Hub expands the capabilities of the Design Library, allowing you to effortlessly integrate custom or third-party libraries. This seamless integration empowers designers to enrich their WordPress website creation process with a personalized touch or external creative insights.

Introducing the Kadence Pattern Hub

Formerly known as Kadence Cloud, the Kadence Pattern Hub is a game-changing plugin that enables you to create a cloud-based repository for your custom block designs. This repository can be seamlessly accessed and deployed via the Kadence Design Library.

The Pattern Hub offers the flexibility to organize your designs into multiple libraries, simplifying the drag-and-drop addition of these elements into any WordPress site equipped with Kadence Blocks. It also encourages design library sharing through access keys, fostering collaboration among designers or serving as a potential revenue stream by monetizing access to your designs.

Visit our Kadence Marketplace to browse Design Libraries created by the community.

How They Interact 

Creating a personal library of patterns with Kadence Blocks allows WordPress designers to generate an access key and a corresponding URL, facilitating the sharing of these resources with other Kadence Blocks users. This integration enriches the Kadence Blocks Design Library with a plethora of custom designs, tailored to individual or collective needs.

Clarifying Terminology

Here’s a quick breakdown of the terminology we covered, from Kadence to WordPress core:

• Pattern: A content section including pre-designed blocks, ready to be added to any page or post.
• Patterns (library): The library of patterns integrated into WordPress core, open for contributions.
• Kadence Blocks Design Library: A tool for building pages with a headstart from Kadence team-created patterns, extendable to include third-party or custom libraries.
• Kadence Pattern Hub: A plugin enabling the creation and distribution of custom design libraries across WordPress sites using Kadence Blocks.

Why the Rebrand? 

The transition from “Kadence Cloud” to “Kadence Pattern Hub” was motivated by the need for clearer communication. The original name often led to confusion, because it did not accurately convey the plugin’s functionality. 

The new name, “Kadence Pattern Hub,” more aptly describes the tool’s capability to centralize and distribute pattern libraries. This distinction should help with comprehension and awareness of the powerful features the Pattern Hub provides for designers.

Final Thoughts

Dive into the Kadence Pattern Hub and discover the expansive possibilities it offers for your web design projects. Whether you’re seeking to streamline your design process, foster collaborative creativity, or explore new revenue avenues, the Pattern Hub is here to help to transform your WordPress experience.

This development opens up the innovative AI-driven capabilities of Kadence AI to a wider audience, enabling users to create content-rich websites and patterns swiftly in other languages.

The Kadence AI interface and settings have been updated to accommodate the new languages, making it easy for you to select your language of choice and start creating immediately.

Here’s What’s New:

Expanded Language Offerings

You can now select a language in the Kadence AI wizard from Blocks or Starter Templates to generate your website text content in the language of choice. 

The Design Library will feature curated content in your language of choice and the inline text editor will now support languages other than English.

The first phase of new languages in Kadence AI are all in Latin scripting (Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish).

We do not yet support Cyrillic (Russian) and Devanagari (Hindi), or any right to left scripts.

The languages are regionalized. Here is the full list available languages:

• Danish (Denmark)
• Dutch (Belgium)
• Dutch (Netherlands)
• English (Australia)
• English (Canada)
• English (India)
• English (New Zealand)
• English (UK)
• English (US)
• French (Belgium)
• French (Canada)
• French (France)
• German (Austria)
• German (Belgium)

• Italian (Italy)
• Portuguese (Brazil)
• Portuguese (Portugal)
• Spanish (Argentina)
• Spanish (Colombia)
• Spanish (Latin America)
• Spanish (Mexico)
• Spanish (Spain)
• Swedish (Sweden)

Important: Kadence AI’s new language features utilize the pre-trained chatGPT model from OpenAI, which is primarily trained on English data sourced from the internet. As a result, while we’re excited to offer additional language support, English remains the most robustly supported language, and performance in other languages may vary.

This expansion means Kadence AI is now more accessible to users around the globe, providing the tools to craft engaging, high-quality content in their preferred language.

Seamless Integration for Global Creators

This update is tailored for users creating websites in a single language other than English, offering the same Kadence AI benefits across supported languages. It’s important to note that this update is focused on enhancing content creation within individual languages and does not extend to multi-lingual website functionality. 

For managing multilingual sites, there are dependable dedicated plugins available for adding translations to your website.

How to Access the New Language Features

To start using Kadence AI in one of the supported languages, simply update your Kadence AI settings to your preferred language. This adjustment ensures that all content generation, from web page creation to pattern design, aligns with your selected language, maintaining consistency across your site’s content.

Dive into AI in Your Language

We invite you to explore Kadence AI in your supported languages and discover the possibilities it opens up for your website. Whether you’re reaching out to a global audience or crafting content in your native language, Kadence AI is here to support your creative journey.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to evolve Kadence AI to meet the diverse needs of our global community.

It’s an intuitive way to interact with your audience, gather more accurate data, and ultimately, drive better outcomes from your marketing efforts.

Get started with Conditional Fields to improve the conversion rate of your form.

Marketing Automations

We expanded our integration roster to include GetResponse, alongside Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign. Using the Advanced Form Block integrated with your marketing automation system gives you more power to engage with your audience through follow-up emails, audience segmentation, and personalized marketing campaigns. This connectivity not only simplifies the lead nurturing process but also enhances the ability to convert leads into customers, making it a vital update for marketers aiming to maximize their digital strategies efficiently.

These features are just the beginning, with plans to unveil more detailed analytics, such as form start rates, abandonment and error tracking, in the future.
