[Support request] Customized 404 error page and individual content block

[Markus]

Hi,

I have three more points to understand working with GP Premium and GP Blocks:

1.) 404 Error Page:
I build a new element for a 404 error page

https://capture.dropbox.com/wiag54VNpc2teb0D
but if I test this item theres also the standard design visible
https://capture.dropbox.com/RefgCi0v1JMjmcvK
do you have to change original source code for this as well? If so, where and how?

2.) Navigation – Footer Legal Pages
I started with the demo HEALTH from the https://generatepress.com/site-library/. I don’t quite understand yet how the footer navigation – in this case “Footer Legal Pages” – works. In the menu assignment it is not linked (e.g. with primary menu or off canvas, maybe it must called: footer menu?). In Widgets and in Customizer (Layout -> Footer) I don’t see any setting where I can choose which menu should be displayed in the footer. Where can I set this?

3.) Content Block
Is it possible to create individual content blocks with GP Premium + GP Blocks -> Elements?

I mean, for example, a CTA that I want to insert on different pages somewhere in the content area, but still want to manage it globally (otherwise I would have to adjust all pages again when a change, so it would happen with Global Styles). About the element type I could specify content template, but not more precisely where the content block should be installed, perhaps at 3 or 8 place / line. Do you understand what I mean?

For this purpose, there should be a possibility to call e.g. Elements via the block function and then call or insert the corresponding content block.
Is this already possible or is it maybe on your roadmap?

Thanks for your support.
Markus

Hi there,

1. change the Element Type from Page Hero to Content Template

2. edit the Appearance > Element -> Foot Template

3. You can use the core Reusable block, those sync all instances so if you edit one then they all update.
You can select any block and from its 3 dot menu Convert to Reusable block

The alternative is to create a shortcode that has a portable hook inside – see here for the PHP Snippet to create one:

Hi David,

thanks a lot. Everything works…🙏

Point 2.) It was linked in the widgets.

Point 3.) One more question about the reusable blocks:
you can only get to these reusable blocks (to edit, delete, etc,) via the block interface, not via the “normal” WordPress dashboard at the left sidebar, right?

Best regards
Markus

Hello Markus,

You can access it when you edit a page, try to add a Block, and go to the “Reusable” tab > “Manage Reusable blocks”. Example: https://share.getcloudapp.com/mXuDp2El
