GeneratePress Premium broke my site

  • Today I don’t know what happened, but after deactivating all plugins, the GeneratePress Premium plugin broke my site’s design completely.

  • Hi there,

    We’ll need more details about the issue.

    Do you mean the site is broken when all plugins are deactivated except GP Premium?

  • Yes. I even downgraded WordPress core from 7.0 to 6.9.4 and it’s still broken.

  • Wait, it’s conflicting with WP Offload Media.

  • Uh, I’m going to download all images from the server and delete WP Offload Media. Unless you know why there’s a conflict.

  • We haven’t received any reports so far regarding a compatibility issue between WP Offload Media and GP/GP Premium.

    What kind of issue are you experiencing specifically? Are the images not displaying as expected?

  • The entire site’s design just goes crazy. All of the images are in the S3 bucket and not on the server. So I’m in the middle of downloading back to the server 82K images so that I can deactivate WP Offload Media and reactivate all the other plugins including GP Premium. I don’t know why they’re not working together.

  • Hi,

    Before you download 82K images — please pause, that step likely isn’t necessary and the conflict may be a quick fix.

    A broken design (layout/styling collapsing) is a different symptom than broken images, which is what a media-offload conflict normally causes. This points to GeneratePress’s dynamic CSS, not the images themselves.

    GP’s CSS Print Method has an “External File” option that writes a stylesheet to your uploads directory. If WP Offload Media is rewriting or offloading that uploads path, the external CSS file’s URL can break and the entire site loses its styling — which matches what you’re seeing.

    Two things to check:

    1. Go to Appearance → Customize → General → CSS Print Method and switch it to Inline Embedding. This stops GP from relying on the external file. Check whether the design returns.
    2. In WP Offload Media, confirm whether it’s configured to offload or rewrite files beyond your media library (specifically the wp-content/uploads directory where GP writes its CSS). If so, that’s the interaction — not an incompatibility that requires removing the plugin.

    You can test #1 in under a minute without touching your images. Let us know what the design looks like after switching the Print Method.
