[Support request] Combining elements of your themes

[Vladimir]

Is it possible to export blocks from your themes and merge them with your other themes?

For specific idea, can I copy/paste code from this part of your Dispatch theme: https://ibb.co/wBxdp4m and insert it into this part of your READ theme: https://ibb.co/BBs9tbD? to make the READ theme more interesting?

What would be the best way for non-programmer to combine elements of your themes as suggested above?

Hi Vladimir,

It’s possible, but the only way to get specific Blocks/sections from a different template is to manually copy and paste them.

If you have GenerateBlocks Pro, there are various patterns there you can use through the Pattern Library see: https://generateblocks.com/library/?pattern-category=query-loop

That specific section you’re wanting to copy is also still using WP Show Posts. The theme is planning to update Dispatch or replace it with one that uses Query Loop Blocks for querying posts.

My best advice would be to use the Pattern Library from GenerateBlocks Pro instead or create and design a Query Loop Block from scratch.

Thank you for helping me discover Pattern Library. There is no design in Patter Library that resembles Dispatch header that features posts like Dispatch does. This is great that the specific section I wanted to update is using WP Show Posts as your READ theme using WP Show Posts as well.

Is it possible for you to copy/paste WP Show Posts code from Dispatch just for that section and send it to me. I would copy it from this ticket and just paste below red buttons on READ theme I am using on mtelblog.ba.

I hope I am not asking too much,

Vladimir

I see. This specific section doesn’t just use WP Show Posts. It also utilizes custom code.

You can follow David’s instructions here: https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-put-something-like-this-on-my-front-page-homepage/#post-1439597

However, as mentioned, it’s advised to use GenerateBlocks Query Blocks since WPSP has been merged with GenerateBlocks, and we’re trying to update/replace all templates still using it.

See here for reference: https://wpshowposts.com/weve-made-the-decision-to-merge-wp-show-posts-with-generateblocks/

Ok. Can I pay someone to recreate this element using the GenerateBlocks Query Blocks approach you suggest and tie it with my blog so all posts/categories flow properly through it? Can you recommend someone who did this at least once who would take this task on freelance basis?

[Fernando]

I see. You can find our Site Library Developers here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/site-library-templates-developers/

Any of them should be capable for the task.

We also have a Facebook Group wherein there are multiple developers possibly willing to take on the task.

You can also try sites like Codeable and Upwork.
