Hi, I have several sites under lifetime license.
I recently added a license for a new site and I see that the appearance of the block configuration has changed – it is clearer and has more options.
Old sites do not have this and I would like to know how to make the appearance the same as for this recently added site?

Hi there,
The new block settings UI you’re seeing is part of GenerateBlocks 2.0. In case you missed it, here’s the release post: https://generatepress.com/introducing-generateblocks-2/
Your existing sites will continue using V1 blocks unless you manually switch them to V2. It’s completely fine to stick with V1 as those blocks will continue to be supported. V2 introduces some changes and has a bit of a learning curve, so for older sites, I recommend keeping things as they are.
If you want to revert to use V1 blocks on recently added sites, here’s a guide on how to do that:
https://learn.generatepress.com/blocks/block-guide/generateblocks-1-x-to-2-0/#how-to-return-to-version-1-0-blocks -
ok, I know that. I prefer the newer version, but I don’t know how to update it for v1. I don’t see the option.
The button in WordPress “upgrade” at generateblocks leads to the generatepress page and that’s it. nothing happens. I should add that I don’t have generatepress one, and newer sites use the newer version anyway. I also wouldn’t like to pay extra for the upgrade, since it’s free for new sites.Please tell me how to do it and is it safe – will there be no conflicts in versions?

No, you don’t need to have GenerateBlocks Pro.
If your GenerateBlocks Free is updated to the latest version (v2.1), you can use this snippet to enable the V1 blocks:
add_filter('generateblocks_use_v1_blocks', '__return_true');Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/
-
the other way around. I have an older version and I want 2.1 just like I have for newer sites.
Should I type:
add_filter(‘generateblocks_use_v2.1_blocks’, ‘__return_true’);or something similar?
-
If your site hasn’t installed the 2.0+ version GB, then you can not use v2 blocks.
-
So how do i install it? is there no way to upgrade?
-
You can download it on WordPress:https://wordpress.org/plugins/generateblocks/

Strange, it shows me that I have updated to version 2.1, although the appearance of the blocks is old. So how do I make the blocks look new?
-
Simply go to GenerateBlocks > Settings in the admin menu and turn off the Use version 1 blocks option.
However, your existing blocks will not automatically convert to V2 blocks. Only new blocks that you add will use the V2 format.

Yeah, i got this now. Thank you very much 🙂
