Missing Info in Layout Section
7 replies · Started by Dana on April 20, 2022
I'm building on Local by Flywheel and am new to GeneratePress and so didn't know I was missing some layout options under the 'Page' (not 'Block') section when I go to edit my page. After attending a MeetUp it was pointed out to me that many options were missing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the theme and also deactivating everything except GenerateBlocks and GP Premium.
Hi Dana,
Are you referring to this?: https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuqQE74
Are you missing options in Disable Elements? If so kindly go to Appearance > GeneratePress and enable Disable Elements.
Kindly let us know. Perhaps you can also provide a screenshot of how it looks like from your end.
Hope to hear from you soon. :)
Thanks for your prompt reply Fernando. My more experienced colleagues informed me that I'm missing options in the area represented in this link:

I did as you instructed and went to Appearance > GeneratePress > and selected 'Deactivate' and then 'Activate' the 'Disable Elements' option under 'Modules':

Previously, I also tried resetting the customizer settings:

After updating I still have this:

Hi there,
the only thing i see that would be missing from a GP Theme editor is the Layout panel.
Can you check in the main editing area to see if its hiding at the bottom of the editing area?
Thanks for your patience while I get acquainted with the interface. At the bottom of what I believe is the main editing area, I have a section that looks like this:

When I select the down arrow it opens to look like what Fernando was referring to in the first reply:

Is this the missing option that should be on the right panel under "Block?"

Yep - thats the missing option :)
You can leave it there, it will still work, just when you click the arrow to expand it you will need to scroll down a little.
Or you can put it back in the sidebar.... which is a cumbersome excercise in itself ( thanks WordPress for not fixing it!! ). See my reply here on how to return it to the sidebar:
Super! Thanks so much. I'll check out your sidebar resources link in forums. Thanks again.
You're welcome
