GP Premium/GB WooCommerce design possibilities

Hello.

You’re correct that GeneratePress is a classic theme, not a block theme, which is why you don’t see WooCommerce template options in the Site Editor (Appearance → Design). Those full-site editing features are only available with block themes. But it’s not that the theme is not compatible with the Gutenberg editor.

GenerateBlocks free version already includes powerful features for WooCommerce customization:

1. Dynamic Content – Pull product information (title, price, image, description, custom fields) directly into your GenerateBlocks layouts
2. Query Loop – Build custom product archives and related product sections
3. Effects – Add shadows, transforms, filters, opacity, transitions, and more to your blocks
4. Elements (Hooks) – Use hooks like woocommerce_before_single_product, woocommerce_after_single_product_summary, etc. to inject custom GenerateBlocks layouts
5. Elements (Block) – Create custom block-based content with display conditions to show on specific product pages, categories, or conditions

While you can add extensive custom content using hooks and display conditions, completely replacing default WooCommerce areas (like the product summary, tabs, or gallery) requires additional PHP code to first remove the default output. Elements alone can inject content but won’t automatically hide WooCommerce’s default sections.

You have solid WooCommerce customization capabilities with your current setup. The combination of GP Premium Elements + GenerateBlocks free gives you dynamic data, query loops, and effects to create custom product layouts. However, for that “full wild” design freedom where you completely replace WooCommerce’s default structure, you’ll need to combine Elements with some custom PHP code to remove default outputs.

I was waiting for this information. I’m developing an e-commerce site and have run into some problems. After reading other questions on the forum, I decided to work with hooks and start adding custom content.

Currently, my biggest problem is with the product archives (store), brands, categories, and tags. I have my ‘Loop Query’ styled and a product card with additional information, but when I tell it to display in the product archive, it appears duplicated (both the one I created and the default one). What solutions can you offer?

This is important because the product card displays additional information beyond just the price, title, and rating.

Exactly. Woocommerce uses its own templates, GP’s loop template can not override them.

In WooCommerce, the custom fields (post meta keys) for product pricing are:

Regular Price: _regular_price
Sale Price: _sale_price

These are stored in the wp_postmeta table and are prefixed with an underscore, which makes them “hidden” custom fields in WordPress.

A few related fields you might also find useful:

_price – The active price (automatically set to sale price if one exists, otherwise regular price)
_sale_price_dates_from – Sale start date (Unix timestamp)
_sale_price_dates_to – Sale end date (Unix timestamp)

Anything else, let us know!

For the product image, you would just add a {{featured_image key:url}} dynamic tag.

Here are the main WooCommerce product post meta keys:

For variation-specific products, most of these same keys apply but some variations also use:

Keep in mind that WooCommerce continues to add new meta keys with updates, and extensions add their own custom fields as well.

Excellent, no problem!
