Manual install of GeneralBlocks Pro
4 replies · Started by Judith on February 26, 2022
I am building a new site on SiteGround, and I have purchased GeneratePress Premium. This installed OK except for GenerateBlocks Prop which I am told must be installed manually. Documentation directs me to a site for GenerateBlocks where I can download just that zip file. But the site GenerateBlocks does not recognize by GeneratePress login. Can you help?
Hi Judith,
I'm not sure I fully understand your question.
Do you mean you tried to use GP's login on https://generateblocks.com/?
If so, GB is an independent product from GP, you'll need another set of login for GB.
You can purchase GB pro on https://generateblocks.com/ and get the lisence key at https://generateblocks.com/account
Hello, Ying: The issue is that GenerateBlocksPro was part of what I purchased with the Premium theme from GeneratePress and it was listed together with the other plugins as part of GP-Premium-2.1.2. But, while the other plugins loaded just fine, the message said that just this one plugin would have to be loaded manually. I don't want to pay for it twice by purchasing just that module from GB.
I purchased gp-premium-2.1.2 and tried to install the site design Vinyasa for my new site at SiteGround. The install showed me the 5 plugins involved: GenerateBlocksPoro, GenerateBlocks, Lightweight Social Icons,MC4WP MailChimp for Wordpress, and WP Showpost. All installed except GenerateBlocksPro, saying this had to be installed manually. Following the documentation I was directed to GenerateBlocksPro, to go to my account there and download the zip file for this plugin. However, GBPro is a separate site from GPress, and I do not have an account there, my GPress credentials do not work. Am I supposed to buy this plugin separately and pay for it again? Please advise.
Hi Judith,
I think there's an error during your import of the site template Vinyasa.
The site template doesn't require GB pro to import or use, so you don't have to install it.
Have you finished importing the site?
Let me know :)
