Hi,
I have just purchased the license of this theme but I am unable to find the block-based theme builder. Where is it? Moreover, I have the following concerns:
1) The breadcrumbs are missing
2) No related posts widget or settings
3) No social sharing buttons
4) No settings to build grid or different layouts for Archive pages.
5) No options to customize single post layouts.Please guide me if these options are available in the theme but I am missing them.
Thanks.

Hi there,
For theme builder info, please take a look at my reply here:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/theme-builder/#post-17851371) An SEO plugin like Yoast or RankMath is required.
2) Nothing built-in. A plugin like this might help: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-related-posts/
3) Nothing built-in. There should be lots of options out there for this.
4) Take a look at these articles and video:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-content-template/
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-columns-in-the-blog/5) Take a look at this article:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/blog-content-layout/These are a lot of plugins! How could we maintain the optimized behavior of GP with so many add-on plugins just to fulfill the basic requirements of a blog theme?
Moreover, do you guys provide customization services? As it seems like the only method to actually make GP look like a modern blog is with A to Z custom CSS. Which to be honest is a bit disappointing. There should have been built-in options to choose between multiple layouts for single-post, archives, search pages, widgets, and homepage.

I wouldn’t say those are the basic requirements of the theme.
One of the main goals of GP is to only add features and options that are useful for the majority of our users – otherwise the theme would be bloated.
When a user requires those features, it’s best to find a well-coded plugin that specifically handles those. If you do some research and choose good reputable and well-supported plugins, the site should still be optimized.

We don’t customization service here. As for making a modern blog, have you checked out our new content template add-on introduced in GPP 2.0?
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-content-template/We’d like to think that with the help of GenerateBlocks, you can now build almost any layouts you want with GP.
Make sure to take a look at our site library as well:
https://generatepress.com/site-library/Most of those sites are all built with the block editor with GenerateBlocks with very minimal CSS.
