Guttenberg compatibility

Hi Tina,

The GeneratePress site is actually using the Gutenberg editor, albeit just the HTML Block.
Once a more stable release of Gutenberg is available, as some aspects of where Theme development belongs is still in the air, I am sure we will be seeing more customisation support for Gutenberg.

But quite a few people in the GP community have already started to use the current release in their builds :)

Oh, okay. Hi David!

So I'm guessing I should be able to start using it too. I tried giving it ago earlier after the site updated to the latest version of WordPress, but the new post page took a long time to load (and I kind of gave up waiting after a few minutes thinking it wasn't compatible yet), so I changed back to the old version.

I'll give Guttenberg another go and then look to see what's stopping it from loading if I have the same issue.

Cheers!

Hi Tina,

any feedback is much appreciated :)

Hi David,

I was reading another strand where Sections is not compatible with Gutenberg. I have many Pages set up with sections. Another user on the Gutenberg forum also with Generate Press advised she had a similar issue as I was having and to get Gutenberg to work she had to deactivate Sections.

Refer:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/gutenberg-prep/
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/guttenberg-activation-reactivation-problems/#post-10557652

So, I think I will wait until Sections is fully compatible with Gutenberg before I start using it as I don't want to ruin my main Pages which all rely on sections.

The bug that was in Gutenberg that 'broke' sections has been fixed :)

Okay. Unfortunately, I still can't get Gutenberg to activate. ^.^

Are there any other Premium add-ons that are not compatible?

If Sections is activated and you're using GPP 1.6, Gutenberg won't display.

You can:

a) Disable Sections
b) Update to GPP 1.7 (currently a release candidate): https://generatepress.com/gp-premium-1-7/

Thanks, David & Tom. I decided to disable Gutenberg and wait for the Premium Addons to be completed. Which happened not long after so it wasn't much of a wait.

All good now, and I haven't had any more issues using the Gutenberg editor.

Cheers

Gutenberg and Sections are compatible now :)
