Hi,
I've read there that is a generate pro elementor. Is it included in the theme?
Hi there,
no - Elementor is not included in GeneratePress and we are not affiliated.
There a few sites in the GP Site Library that uses Elementor but it only installs the free version. If you need to use Pro then you will have to buy your own elementor license.
Is the elementor license from Generatepress?
Hi there,
No, there is no license associated with both GP and Elementor.
Hi Tom,
Thank you!
Another question, please. Will installing the elementor on GP slow my website?
Do I need the elementor to create a page like this one: https://www.screencast.com/t/FgZE2iF8
You do not need Elementor to create that layout.
It was built using GenerateBlocks:
GenerateBlocks is extremely lightweight.
We are seeing a lot of our users move from a Page Builder to using Blocks to improve the speed o their site.
Thank you very much! Do these blocks include related posts? Or do I need to upload a plugin separately for this?
We would recommend WP Show Posts for adding posts list to your page content.
Ah, so there is no need to upload a separate plugin for related posts at the bottom of the article?
If I use Generatepress blocks, do I need to deactivate the Gutenberg blocks?
Aah ok = if you want to add them below the post article you can use a dedicated Related Posts plugin like those mentioned here:

Thank you!
Just one more question, please. How can I upload Generatepress block? Also, once I uploaded the GP blocks, do I need to deactivate Gutenberg?
Go to Dashboard > Plugins > Add New then you can search for Generateblocks and simply install :)
Any new editing features that WordPress adds to the block editor are first released in the Gutenberg Plugin.
6 - 9 weeks later some of those features are added to WordPress core. Which means by adding the Gutenebrg Plugin you're getting a preview of what is to come.
GenerateBlocks will work with or without the Gutenberg plugin. But i would recommend you disable the Gutenberg plugin for now
Great, thank you very much!
You're welcome
Hi again,
I downloaded the Generateblocks, but I don't see the classic mode block that I used to see in Gutenberg. How am I suppose to write:)?
