Hi guys
I may have inadvertedly been using a generateblocks plugin feature in Widgets.
When I deactivated the plugin, the following message popped up in the Widgets section.The “generatepress-content-width” plugin has encountered an error and cannot be rendered.Your site doesn’t include support for the “generateblocks/image” block. You can leave it as is, convert it to custom html, or remove it.
When I reactivated the geenrateblocks plugin, the error went away.
Can you illuminate me ?

Hi there,
It sounds like you have some content built with blocks from the Generateblocks plugin, so you need it active for the blocks to render.
May I ask why you disabled it?
Let me know 🙂

That’s just the thing. I haven’t used it yet. I installed it couple years ago, kept it up to date but didn’t build anything with it so decided to deactivate it. Why could it interfering with my widgets ? The widgets I’m referring to are in my sites right sidebar. Till now I presumed I was using only the generatepress native theme options.

Can you link me to your site? It sounds like you are using the image block from the Generateblocks plugin.
As for the “generatepress-content-width” plugin issue, it’s a known issue. You can try adding this PHP code.

Try this page,( shared in private box) there are no ads running on it so its cleaner.

Yes, you are using GB’s image blocks in the sidebar widgets, so you do need the plugin active.

I’m looking deeper and I was playing with creating patterns with a view to splitting a new home page into sections using container blocks. It appears that this container is not part of the native generatepress pack but included in the free generatepress plugin. I could be wrong. So I’ve inadvertently created the widgets too too using the generateblocks plugin! Its not biggie if so as I’ll just leave the plugin activated.

Yes, the plugin can come in handy 🙂 I recommend keeping it.

They’re image widgets and apart from being colored a light blue, they’re identical to the default image widgets so thats how I made the mistake. God knows how many images I’ve being uploading in posts using the generate blocks image block instead. Will those stop displaying if i deactivated the plugin?
-
The image will still show, but the settings set in the block will not render.
For example, if you set a margin or padding to the image, and you disable the GB plugin, then the margin/padding will not apply but the image should still show.

thanks Ying. I’ll be more mindful in future and I guess Generateblocks will stay active.

No Problem 🙂
