Ultimate Shortcodes vs Generate Blocks vs Sections vs Lightweight Grid Columns

Does, or can, GenerateBlock replace Sections?
I was trying to do a full image background with a shortcode that is 1/2 the screen.
What I have now is a GP Section with Lightweight Grid Columns installed (just read it's not supported anymore) and a shortcode to the form.
Can this be recreated with just the new WordPress Blocks?
When I heard about the Lightweight Grid Columns not being supported anymore I remember Ultimate Shortcodes but I get a warning...
I have done what the screen says and still, the warning is there.
I don't know how to use blocks well...
Hi there,
Yes, GenerateBlocks can replace Sections if you're using the Gutenberg block editor.
It also includes a Grid Block.
Lightweight Grid Columns is still a viable plugin but there are no plans to develop it further.
It is definitely the time to start learning Gutenberg :)
I can't figure it out.
I don't know how to do a full cover image and have the text in contained.
Okay figured it out.
What I wanted to be was the Cover image, full screen. Add two columns and have the left column have a title and shortcode, not full screen.
Add cover
Add Container
Add Column (pick 50/50)
Add Header
Add Short Code
Disable Elements: Content Title
Page Builder Container: Full
Glad to hear that !
