[Support request] GP Premium checking for GeneratePress theme?

[Ian]

Could GP Premium plug-in test whether the GeneratePress theme has been installed, and display a warning message on the plug-in page if it has not?

I forgot to install the GeneratePress theme, and couldn’t work out why the GeneratePress menu option didn’t appear in Appearance. The plug-in page then indicated that today’s update was available, and to click a link to enter the licence key, but I got a warning message “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page”.

Of course installing the theme solved the problem, but a reminder would have saved some time

I agree, this would be nice.

Currently, I haven’t found a super reliable way to make sure GeneratePress is active (including child themes).

It’s something high on my list to do though.

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

You can’t just include a simple PHP “I am here” function with the theme, that won’t respond if it is not active?

[Tom]

Would have to make sure the function is registered before GP Premium checks for it.

Definitely possible – I’ll see what I can do for the next larger release (won’t be in the next one with a couple bug fixes from today’s update).

Thanks!

[Ian]

Thanks for the consideration!
