[Resolved] Error adding new Block Element above Top Menu

[Mel]

I want to add a line of text above the Main Menu (Primary Menu, Off Canvas Menu) at the top.

I have the GeneratePress Premium and GenerateBlocks Pro plugins installed and activated.

I am using the GP sample site “MyPet”.

Appearance > Elements > Add new element >
Element Type: Block > Create
Location: Entire Site
Element Type: Hook
Hook Name: before_header

as soon as I choose Hook Name I get an error message:
The “generate press-block-element” plugin has encountered an error and cannot be rendered.”

Hi Mel,

So we can take a closer look at the issue, can you provide admin login credentials?

Please use the Private Information field for this: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-the-premium-support-forum/#private-information

Hi Fernando,

I now managed to use the top bar widget instead of creating an element.

Would it still be a good idea for you to check the “generate press-block-element” plugin error? IN case I need to use it for something else?

Thanks
Mel

I see. Glad you found an alternative.

Yes, it’s still a good idea if you want to use it in the future.

Hi,
thanks for looking into this.

Kind Regards
Mel

Thank you! There’s a new update for GP Premium. GPP 2.3.1. That update should address the issue.

[Mel]

Great. It works now. Is it better using a widget or an Element?

[Fernando]

You’re welcome, Mel! Either should be fine.

[Mel]

Great thanks for your help.

[Fernando]

You’re welcome, Mel!
