Create a New Site
3 replies · Started by Ella on June 21, 2021
Hi guys, this may sound like a stupid question but I just wanted to check the process for starting a new site. I always use Wordpress, so do I just add a new site through there, then import the GeneratePress theme I want to use and I'll then have a GeneratePress site? Or is there a GeneratePress platform I have to create it on? Thanks!
Hi there,
its all done in WordPress.
With your new site - follow the instructions here for installing GP:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/installing-gp-premium/
Once installed - if you want to import a site from our library, go to Appearance > GeneratePress and Activate the Site Library Module then follow this guide:

Hi David,
Thanks for this. I've tried to follow these instructions: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/installing-gp-premium/ and I've downloaded the zip file of it and uploaded but I'm not sure if I've done something wrong because I don't see GeneratePress in appearance.
I can see GP Premium in plugins and it's activated (although if I press Configure it says "Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page." but I don't see it in appearance and I can't access the themes to select the one I want!
My site when viewing it says
"MY WORDPRESS Just another WordPress site"
at the top so I feel like I must have done something wrong?
Thanks,
Ella
Have you done the first step of installing the free GeneratePress theme before installing the GP Premium plugin?
