Since Editor X has failed miserably, where are Partners redirecting their clients? I send the bulk of mine to Squarespace now but they aren’t quite as easy to teach as Wix. I can’t keep making up lies about “Wix will be responsive on your website soon.” It’s embarrasing and Editor X failed at the ONE thing it was supposed to accomplish.
Are you redirecting them to Word Press? Where? Thanks!

Editor x failed? Isn’t it still in beta?
Jen, I have no idea what you are talking about. Editor X hasn’t failed at all - it’s still in beta and already becoming a big platform choice for our partners. I’m not sure where EX has failed - perhaps you can let me know something I don’t?
When you save a website in Editor X then change the screen size, all the elements overlap each other in a jumble even when you use “Stack.” You have to go back and redesign on every screen size you can to make it clean. Editor X promised responsiveness. Instead it exponentially increases the workload over the current Editor. At least on the current Editor, you don’t have to waste time clicking on every element and making it “responsive.” It overlaps or moves and looks terrible without having to do that extra step. Editor X - has FAILED in being responsive on different screens.
I mean, maybe 1 out of 250 sites work but I stopped wasting my time after a couple. It only has a tiny portion of customability. Absolutely no new features except in offering far more work on the backend which should be automatic but is manual.
So Wix rolled out a big fat dud. It had ONE JOB and it’s a total failure. People should stay on the regular editor and continue to waste their time redesigning on each screen size. It’ll take far less repetitive effort than the failed Beta. I understand Beta is to work out bugs but they rolled out a bicycle with no wheels. What was the point?
The point of my post is where are people redirecting their clients since Wix cannot deliver responsive websites? The Beta doesn’t have responsiveness. Wix is like Trump saying “I have a vaccine” and then handing out orange juice. Just becuase they say Editor X is responsive clearly doesn’t mean in is. You are still redesigning on every screen size AFTER adding the fruitless manual labor of “Stacking” elements.

So - I don’t want to argue here with you because everyone’s opinion is valid. I hate that you didn’t get to fall in love with EX like so many other partners have.
I encourage you or anyone else reading to brush up on the tutorials at the Editor X Academy here: https://www.wix.com/editorx/academy - There are a lot of resources here to go through. eX is far different than the classic editor and to achieve the full functionality of the product it will require a lot more. It isn’t intended to be easy; it’s a very advanced creation platform.
@brett I watched every tutorial on Wix Academy. I read about it. I contacted Support 19 days ago over it. It doesn’t work. Maybe the other Partners didn’t check the resizing?It is far different than the regular editor. You have to do 5x the work with less customizations and no responsiveness. That’s different. It’s not good but it is different.
I guess if the point was to increase labor from say 10 hours on a website to 25 with the exact same result, Editor X is the way to go. Like you said, to achieve full functionality of the product, it will require a lot more. Yes, a LOT more time and repetitive actions to get nothing worth the effort. Such a grotesque disappointment.
Sorry, gotta run. Support didn’t call at 9am like they scheduled so I have 19 more days of trying to get an answer when the answer is “build it again in regular Editor.”
I appreciate you trying to moderate this so Partners don’t see that it’s a massive failure but they’ll see when they have a chance to waste hours on it. I had been really excited but I had believed it had functionality, not that it was a square wheel.
For me stacking elements and scaling font size works perfectly fine. No overlapping of elements.
I must say Editor X can feel a bit overwhelming initially. The fact that we have room for making intricate decisions like relative position and style of elements at every BP or for various viewing devices
I feel that with eX, WIX has given us more control. But with more control comes more responsibility. hence the need to slightly adjust stuffs like element position or font scaling or text box width at every breakpoint to match our desired results.
i had the same issues… just give wix some time and they will fix it… its on its first stage in beta… wix corvid (not covid) had lots of bugs when it came out in 2017… i started using it around December 2017. i never submitted any tickets but you can see an old tutorial of my website from back then when wix had the autofill bug i never told wix about… look closely at this video since this is one of the only videos i still have with this bug hidden in it i haven’t deleted: https://www.youtube.com/embed/VJ7HMvAhNvA?start=145
just leave wix alone about it and give it some time
Glad to see you like it
just wait a few months before you switch your site over and you will see what im talking about
@jen49281 read above when you have a chance
im having @jen49281 issues so im still using the classic editor… i’m waiting a few months to switch over on my main site and letting wix handle it on their own… wix corvid (not covid) had these kinds of issues when it came out so be patient if you have any issues and dont blame wix harshly for it like that. I’ve been using wix corvid since december 2017
i am still using wix… just using the classic editor in the meantime
Well said, @dee4charlotte =)
Respectfully, I disagree with the statement that EditorX has failed miserably! Yes, it’s a pretty steep learning curve, a completely new process and takes a little more time to create what you want, BUT there are no limits to what you can create and you can customize your design for any screen size. It is, and always has been marketed as " an advanced website creation platform made exclusively for designers and agencies".
i agree with you too… i am going to switch my website over ounce editor x improves
i wonder when editor x is going to completely take over and im going to have to rebuild my entire site… probably should start working on it before my website is taken down for being too outdated or if that even happens
if my website is so outdated i need to rebuild it i always can due to new technology from editor x
