GeneratePress Theme Customization | Post Loop Update (Beta)

[@chrisparky]

Support from Generate Press was superb would recommend to a beginner.

[@DanielNordmark]

That’s one of the things that makes GeneratePress (and GenerateBlocks) a great choice. It works both for beginners as well as for us that’s experienced. It’s easy enough for “everyone” without restricting developers. I’ve been a developer for 20+ years and developed lots of themes as well as built my own CMS in the past. But the time GeneratePress saves me combined with not having to write lots of boilerplate code is a huge benefit. So I would recommend GeneratePress for both beginners as well as for experienced developers. 🙂

Darn you Paul, I just got comfortable using Bricks and you start showing great content on another great tool for building websites. LOL, couldn't help but give you a thumbs up on the GP/GB content. It's great to see more options!

[@HaifengZhu-pn3uq]

the query loop of GeneratePress is very cool, your explanation is helpful

[@TouchedByTheTism]

Fantastic tutorial. Clear, concise and well presented. Thank you!

[@MaliceVanRow]

Once again, generatepress/blocks shows how dominate it is over those bloated builders. Great vid.

[@nathan_jxc]

great video thanks for making. Just wondering i have 5 categories of blog post, how do i limit this element to only include posts from 1 category? At the moment it is pulling in all posts from the 5 categories. thanks

[@wpglob-wordpresstutorials]

Really very simple and well-designed theme. Thanks for presenting.

[@LudovicCharlier]

Nice as usual. By the way, what is the difference between generatepress pro and generateblocks pro? Thank you.

[@WPTuts]

GeneratePress is the theme and GenerateBlocks is a Gutenberg block based plugin.

[@olik4192]

i love that theme and tried to complete your tutorial, but i´m already stuck at 2:40... i chose the Block element, set Element type to Loop Template, chose the locations (in my case Blog, Startpage an archives) and added the container... the first difference to your tutorial is, that i have to choose between a simple container or a inner container, but neither of two got the option to set the inner container width and everything following.... im using generatepress premium in version 3.3.0. .... is it possible that they`ve changed somthing here in the elements section? sorry if my question appears dump, but really wanna realize this theme, but ive never used GP before :( i really appreciate your help!

[@kylevandeusen]

**deletes video on loop builder he already made** Great work, Paul. If you didn't want to use that CSS, you could probably just give the "minutes" heading a little top negative margin or bottom margin.

[@WPTuts]

No dude, put it out. We all have different delivery methods and there’s plenty of room for more coverage of GP and the new features.

[@androidphone6972]

In the dashboard of Wordpress “using generatepress theme”, under seo it shows as - keyword not set. Just wondering what is this & how to fix it. Thanks in advance 🙏

[@productreviewsbaba]

Hi, I am getting the same images on all the posts. I want to see different images on different posts when using query loop. Any suggestion, please?

[@Emilian3x]

Well designed but has poor SEO. There has to be a with 's tag..

[@DanielNordmark]

GeneratePress + GenerateBlocks once again applies “the Generate way” (to quote Tom) to make things easy to use but extremely powerful. Without any bloat. It would be quite interesting to see a collaboration between Thomas (Bricks), Louis (Cwicly) and Tom (GeneratePress) to once and for all make the ultimate theme / Gutenberg experience. I think that those three all are a couple of steps ahead of the rest and they all have a unique and creative way to improve WP and Gutenberg. In reality I think the result wouldn’t be that great. But the idea to take the best parts from each theme (+plugin) is at least an interesting thought. 🙂

[@WPTuts]

Hmm, interesting! It could be genius or chaos! lol

[@DanielNordmark]

@@WPTuts I’m leaning towards chaos. 😄 My impression of each of them is that they are very friendly and humble to talk to, but at the same time have a strong will and a clear vision of the road ahead. But I can’t help that no matter which of the three I use, I kind of wished that some particular feature from the others was available. 😄

[@WPTuts]

@@DanielNordmark lol - the hybrid block builder. ;)

[@radlinabbott9349]

I am currently trying out breakdance but I am drawn to the ready-made themes of generate press and generate blocks....You have used both what would your advise be? Thanks

[@PlanetPatrick]

Really great tutorial and I'm intending to use this now that the loop template is available. I have a question: I'm assuming the image being pulled through for each card is the Feature Image. My usual images are in a 5:4 ratio, 1200 px wide. When I set the image size to large and the object fit to none, as you show, I'm getting a zoomed in image that doesn't work. Are you using a feature image for your post, which is not used on your post as a Hero, and thus the image size can be optimised for your card image? I hope that makes sense. And if you do, what size is your image?

[@PlanetPatrick]

In an attempt to answer my own question, I replaced the standard image with a container block + background image set to Feature Image, and inserted a spacer set to 200px. This seemed to give me a better proportion on the image pulled through from each single post.

[@kerawelt2008]

Smashing tutorial... as usual.

[@Uncaught_in_promise]

Does post loop works only for Pro ? I have El Free and Astra Free, can i use post loop? Thanks for response

[@RiseOfGents]

i dont know how to make that Post meta field preparation time i tried for the whole day

[@DaniGoMu]

Hi, thanks for the video Paul. After a while looking for the loop template in my generatepress Version: 3.1.3 I realized that it was in beta phase. Do you know for which version of GP it will be available? Thank you

[@WPTuts]

I think it will be 2.20 pro.

[@DaniGoMu]

@@WPTuts ok! I'm excited!

[@AlafGaniIT]

Nice work! helo guys!

[@truthseeker318]

It would be great for me if this could be used independent of the Theme... :(

[@AprendeConAnder]

17 horus ago. Lets see it that helps hehe. Thumbs up!

[@webgeneral]

Seems like it is about to become a Kadence+Blocks competitor... ;)

[@WPTuts]

I think the key difference between Kadence and Generate is that Kadence is more like a page builder with lots of pre-built blocks whereas GB is more bare bones but lots of flexibility to create your own tools.

[@webgeneral]

@@WPTuts That's absolutely true! I actually wouldn't call one better than the other... Except for a WooCommerce shop, there I'd prefer Kadence because of ShopKit.

[@DavePerth]

RC2 for free (3.2.0) and Premium (2.2.0) was just released :)
