What Exactly is GenerateBlocks Pro?

GenerateBlocks Pro is a plugin that makes it easy to create stunning content—with no design experience.
The simple interface means you don’t have to spend precious time learning how the software works.

GenerateBlocks is a plugin developed to work flawlessly with the Block Editor for WordPress (Gutenberg). With these 4 simple GenerateBlocks, you can design almost any layout imaginable.

It is OK to fall in love with the GenerateBlocks Pro because luckily for you it works very well with any theme, and is optimized with the GeneratePress theme in mind, resulting in a stellar design performance all-around.

One of the best features that makes this a simple decision is the lightweight nature of the plugin. It will not slow down your site speed. Let’s be real; we all know slow site speed can equal lower rankings in Google.

Plugin Developers Tom Usborne and his Team

Tom and his team designed GenerateBlocks Pro to work with any theme. The same team that developed GeneratePress created GenerateBlocks Pro. So you know they go together like peanut butter and jelly. Having the same team has its advantages. They provide the best possible experience to you by using their combined experience and vision to see ahead of the game.

If you aren’t aware already, Tom Usborne and GeneratePress always deliver products that are secure, stable, and extremely lightweight.

Let’s first have a quick overview of the 4 Blocks in this GenerateBlocks Pro review.

4 Blocks Overview

GenerateBlocks is like a blank canvas and an endless array of paint colors. With just one click, you can customize your blocks to fit any need or style! The image below shows how I created the block above with only two GenerateBlocks commands: container and grid. Within each box in the grid, there are many more options for customizing what shapes appear where on my page as well as adding color gradients for some extra flair!

So let’s get into the features only available with the Pro version in this GenerateBlocks Pro review.

Features Available With GenerateBlocks Pro

TEMPLATE LIBRARY

Gain access to over 150 eye-catching professional pre-built templates that are easily changed with your own customization. And you can save them for your own local template library.

To access the templates, add a new block in the area where you want the template located. Now, in the “GenerateBlocks” category, choose the “Template Library” block.

Below is a screenshot of the template library. The templates, organized into categories, offer many options to customize your site.

---

LOCAL TEMPLATES

Easily make your own custom templates and save them for later. Simply click the Local Templates tab in the Template Library modal. To add a local template, go to GenerateBlocks > Local Template.

Templates are beneficial in so many ways:

• You don’t have to format, organize structure, or add in various elements before you add the actual content. If you consistently use the same document, create a template and it will easily save you countless hours.
• The document remains consistent, which looks professional and is great for brand recognition.
• Templates eliminate repetition and free up your time to complete more productive tasks.

---

ADVANCED BACKGROUNDS

Advanced Backgrounds are like the Effects feature, but they handle background images and gradients for the Container block. You can define different backgrounds depending on what device is being used or set a gradient from one end of your screen to another with multiple colors in between; either way, it’s going to look great!

• Do you want a background image that looks different on a mobile or desktop? You can define backgrounds for specific devices in the same element. You control selecting the most optimized background for each device/platform.
• Add Background images and gradients to an element that work with both the normal browse mode and hover mode.
• The plugin accommodates the use of multiple backgrounds per element by defining them as Self-Targeted or Pseudo Element Targeted.

---

COPY + PASTE STYLES

Need 2, 3, or 4 of the same block style you just designed? Well, then you will save tons of time by copying and pasting your block styles throughout your page.

---

GLOBAL STYLES

Global styles provide consistency and simplicity for an efficient workflow. A consistent look throughout your site helps reflect better performance metrics, such as bounce rate and engagement. Global Styles are a way to build re-usable styles that you can use throughout your website. This has a couple of advantages:

• It writes the CSS for the element once, and instead of writing it 10 times with every Container using those style attributes, we only write it once!
• If you ever need to change a style, for example, your primary button style, you can do it in one area and have that style update instantly throughout every page of your site.

When you create a page/post, choose this global style when inserting the block on the editor. Enable the “Use Global Style” slider and choose the name you have provided from the dropdown. Now, the plugin applies the custom style instantly to your block.

When you create a page/post, toggle the “Use Global Style” slider and choose from the dropdown. Click on “main.” Now your block automatically contains all of your custom styles.

---

CONTAINER LINKS

It’s so simple to add a hidden link that covers the ENTIRE Container block. Also, another benefit is NOT changing the color of the text inside the container to your link color, and it will work even if you add links inside the container.

---

DEVICE VISIBILITY

You can easily hide or show your blocks with a simple click on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. A great example of where this feature is helpful is for a local business. Let’s say your CTA (call-to-action) is for people to text you for a quote for one of your services. You may only want this Block to show only on mobile phones. You can disable the block from appearing on desktop and tablet devices by turning on the “hide” feature.

---

EFFECTS

With our powerful, user-friendly CSS effects builder, you can create an endless number of unique designs right in the editor. This is just like having 1,000 graphic designers right at your fingertips! You can use these effects in Containers, Headlines, and Buttons.

---

ASSET LIBRARY

The possibilities are endless. Add your own SVG icons and shapes to the library, then customize them in the editor for a more intuitive, interactive design. Do note the Safe SVG plugin is recommended to improve the function of this feature.

---

CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES

Having an innovative stylish niche website is easy. You can apply custom data-* attributes with just one click using the simple interface.

Factors to Consider When Buying Pro

• Pricing ~ An investment in upgrading comes with benefits such as first-rate support, unique designs, and templates that don’t weigh down your site.
• Documentation ~ If you want to get the most out of an upgrade, than it is important that you are well versed in installing and understanding how it works. Upgrades usually have extensive documentation giving you the knowledge to maximize the plugins features.
• Support ~ What happens when you run into a roadblock? Support is important at these times versus crawling forums for a solution.
• Ease of Use ~ How easy is it to use? If you’re looking for a way to post your paper, news article or video content then it’s important that you have an upgrade that is easy-to-use, visually appealing, and includes built-in support.
• How are Users Rating its Performance ~ If there is a stark contrast between the number of disgruntled customers vs happy customers, I would think twice about upgrading.
• How Many Times Has it Been Downloaded ~Of course, it’s possible that a plugin is still new on the market and hasn’t been downloaded by hundreds and thousands of users. As time passes, and everyone wants the the upgraded version there is obviously a reason. You don’t become the “cat’s meow” or the “bee’s knees for nothing!”
• How responsive is the developer ~ You’ll want to find a regularly updated plugin, and the more recently it was last updated, the better. You also should check how quickly developers respond to problems with their plugins because even great ones can get wacky sometimes! Do consider that issues aren’t solved overnight, but check to see if the developers are acknowledging the problem and working on a solution.
• Plugin Compatability ~ How compatible is the plugin with your theme?  If you’re searching for plugins in the WordPress Plugins search results page, take a look in the bottom right corner of the plugin card for a quick check for the words “untested” or “compatible.”

I discovered that GenerateBlocks Pro works seamlessly with this website and other sites I have in various niches.

---

Support & Documentation

Each block directly links to the GenerateBlocks Pro documentation section. This is the area that delivers easy-to-follow information on how the plugin works.

You can also post a question in their forum or log in to your account to open a support ticket.

GenerateBlocks Pro Review ~ Pricing

The difference between the three price options is the number of sites that can use the plugin. I personally recommend the “professional” price option because you can use it on 250 sites.
