Hi Team, I was checking for some new blocks for Gutenberg and found this plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-addons-for-gutenberg/
Do we have similar plugin for generatepress theme ?. For example, I am looking for styled icon list, inline notice, buttons etc.
Hi Prajwal,
We have our own block plugin Generateblocks.

Here're some videos on how to use it, hope it's helpful:

Thanks Ying. What blocks does gb pro or gb free version include ?. Is there a list of blocks that we can see. Also why is there no demo of gbpro ?.
GB and GB pro both have Container, Grid, Buttons, Headline 4 blocks.
GB pro comes with nice feature like copy style, custom shape, assets library, global style etc.
I would recommend to start with GB free version, see if you like it :)
Hi Ying, I am currently using gb plugin and it works well. What I need is some extra blocks such as styled icons list, inline notice or alert etc. Will these blocks be added to gb or gbpro in future ?.
Could you share some example links of styled icons list, inline notice so I can have a better idea is it doable with GB free version.
Let me know!
Hi Ying,
Here you go.
1. Icon list - https://ultimategutenberg.com/blocks/icon-list/
https://ultimateblocks.com/styled-list-block/
2. Alert or notice - https://ultimategutenberg.com/inline-notice/
You can create both of those things with the headline block:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/headline-overview/
The icon list is just multiple headline blocks with icon.
The alert/notice is just headline blocks with a left border and background color.
The icon list is too difficult to generate with GB. For every line in the list, I need to add an icon and then specify the text.
GB gives you the flexibility to create your own icon list and even offers the option to use custom icons.
The alert and notice is also easy to build with GB, add 2 Headline blocks into a container block, and they can be easily styled within GB.
But it's your choice, choose the one that you think is the best for you :)
You are right but did you try creating a list with icons. For every line entry in the list you need to select and add the icon. I tested other plugins and all I did was selected icon once and on pressing return, the icon was added to next line automatically. I think this option or feature should be added to gb, gbpro atleast.
Yes,the alert or inline notice is pretty easy to add though.
For every line entry in the list you need to select and add the icon.
The icons are all the same within a list so have you tried just duplicating the headline block?
