Sections OverviewThis feature is deprecated and no longer supported as of GeneratePress Premium 2.0. Instead, we suggest checking out our GenerateBlocks plugin.
Sections is our own very simple page builder.
If you』re already using a more advanced page builder, you won』t need to activate Sections.
Please note that Sections cannot be used with Gutenberg editor.
Turning on Sections
By default, Sections can only be used on Pages and Posts.
Enabling Sections on the page will remove the default editor, and will also remove the sidebars from your page.
To turn them on, open your page/create a new page, and click the Use Sections toggle which should be at the top right.
