Generate Blocks Plugin Tutorial - Tips and Tricks
I have been trying to customise my Generate Press Theme, then realised I needed help.
So went over to Youtube and discovered this free video which demonstrates how to use GenerateBlocks - a plugin that can be used with or without Generate Press theme.
This plugin is free which is great.
The video is created by a man who has a bit of a thick accent, but if you listen carefully, you can follow along without subtitles.
He described and demo'ed how to make your blog more professional looking.
I needed to watch this video and followed along - stopping and pausing to apply his tips.
So far, I have used the Query tool to change a post's appearance, changed image sizes, font sizes in the caption and made the affiliate links only appear to work if you hoever over them. (Hope that's clear!!)
So if you have GenerateBlocks plugin - watch this video to create a stunning site.
It's a very good video and only 24 minutes long.
Happy viewing!

I love the Blocksy theme and use Divi AI to produce my web pages using prompts.
However, I was aware of GPB but decided not to proceed.

HI Stella
I have been using the Pro version of GenerateBlocks for years, which will give you many more options and is still super easy to use. 😎

Thanks - a quick question for you though - I just realised I had a sidebar in my old theme.
However, when I switched over to Generate Press theme, the sidebar disappeared.
Do you know how I can get it back? The video I mentioned in my post above, mentions how to make your sidebar more attractive, but doesn't mention how to enable a sidebar in the first place....
Kindly advise.
Thank you Frank.
Hi Stella
You can enable a right and left sidebar with six options in the GeneratePress settings.

Thanks a lot Frank, I played around with the customisation widget sidebar settings and sorted it out.
Would you believe I used to be afraid of customisation in Generate Press? Now because of this video, I really understand how to make my theme pop!
Still working on it, but so far have made leaps and bounds...
So happy right now!
You're welcome, Stella. 😎
I'm so glad you got it all sorted out just the way you want it! 👍👍
GeneratePress can be configured any way you can imagine.
Rock On! 🤘
