[Support request] Elements Support to Install Elements Blocks on sites

[REMOVED BY ADMIN]

I am receiving premium updates and have updated to the latest and greatest generatepress version. Elements did not update to Elements blocks. Can that be upgraded to blocks? If you update Elements will it affect the existing banners?

I’m needing to add video a background with text and logo to the site header and found that I can achieve this relatively easy with the new version of Elements blocks.

I do need assitance aligning the video to the top of the page behind the header. Video Elements block test.

Welcome to Stonelodge Dental

I have several sites that have the legacy Elements and need to get them updated also. Let me know how to do that.

Elements did not update to Elements blocks. Can that be upgraded to blocks?

It’s because you have classic editor plugin activated, you’ll need to deactivate this plugin to use block elements.

If you update Elements will it affect the existing banners?

I don’t think so.

I do need assitance aligning the video to the top of the page behind the header. Video Elements block test.

This video demonstrated how to do so: https://youtu.be/TP8mgBQTgGg

I disabled the the classic editor plugin and it elements is the same for https://www.stonelodgedental.com/.

I have the NEW Elements blocks working. Need assistance with it displaying at the top of the page with full width.

Hi Tim,

To begin with, here is an overview of the Block Element: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-overview/

Moreover, here is one sample video wherein our colleague shows how to implement a Block Element: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6wHd83DfDI

Furthermore, here is a visual guide you may refer to as to where some hooks are located: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-visual-guide/

With these said, here is a setup you can try to make a Block Element appear at the top of a page at full width:

See: https://share.getcloudapp.com/JruG2Ryg

Also see: https://share.getcloudapp.com/2Nuv4O7z

As shown, the parent container and its inner container which would hold all other blocks is set to full width.

Hope this helps! 🙂

I’m running premium and not seeing the options in elements that are displayed in your video. Effects is what I’m needing and am unable to locate.

[Leo]

Which options are you not seeing specifically?

[Tim]

all effects which were in the video.

Hi Tim,

I’ve checked your site to see if the features have any issues and they seem to be intact.

Here’s a screenshot of a Block Element’s UI on your site
https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOu9G2oN

The screenshot shows Gutenberg, the display rule metabox displays and the blocks on the left hand side are visible and usable.

The right sidebar for the Block element type and/or the hook option is intact as well.

Can you specify the specific “effects” your pertaining to?

If its the “Effects” tab on your GB Container block, it’s not available with free version of GenerateBlocks. It’s a feature of GenerateBlocks Pro version. 🙂

Upgrading to paid effects. TY!

[Elvin]

No problem. Glad to be of any help. 😀
