Material Design for WordPress


Using the buttons in the Gutenberg editor caused problems. The preview keeps breaking. The cards are basically unusable, because they only allow very basic text without any formatting. They show the markup for any html you try to use to add an image or headline or bold... Cards look ok in the editor, but not on the front end. I tried the theme as well, but not any better.



I gave up there. I was really excited to use these, but had to uninstall.
