Crocoblock has not disappointed me yet. Ticket support is excellent, with helpful tips and links being sent back. Especially now that I am staying on 1 topic per ticket.

Got a little confused again with a template that was needed as I began testing the Profile Builder. That is a system they made that can create a frontend dashboard with subpages under a vertical or horizontal menu. This is for your users who log in and need to edit profile or content or other forms you build.

My confusion was with making a Listing template using a jetengine listing item. Had earlier used that for listing my CPT about pets. However, in this profile context I was confused if it was a different crocoblock template or maybe gutenberg.

Once I got thru that issue I was able to make the frontend user dash. Very cool.

CPT is a custom post type. These are used to build upon the data structures Wordpress uses for all post types.

CCT is a custom content type. Crocoblock makes this available when you have data that would be more effectively stored in its own individual DB table. Very powerful for the micro-SaaS developer.

My problem is mainly one caused by the side hustle nature of my project. I can only dedicate a limited amount of hours toward doing my side project. So far crocoblock has bern fun to learn and to use. I have a new idea for a web app or site or micro-SaaS every time I try a new feature lol.
