I used the Voice theme for a long time and thought it was a good theme. It certainly is, but only within its class. I was struggling with slow mobile page loading speeds. The highest score I could achieve on Pagespeed Insights was 77. At one point, I tried the GeneratePress theme on my site and could hardly believe my eyes, as the mobile speed score soared to 95+, with all other indicators at 100. Desktop speed and all other metrics were 100. For those who don’t believe it, check it out at: boonused.org
So sometimes it’s not about anything else but simply having the right theme. You just can’t squeeze good speed out of a poorly optimized theme. Additionally, GeneratePress seems flexible and comfortable to use, where simplicity and many features go hand in hand. I am very satisfied, A++++.

If there is a theme built according to German Engineering principles, GeneratePress is certainly the one. Unlike many of the themes in this repository, including the leading ones in terms of downlaod, that come bundled with features that you may never use (i.e. barebones Social Sharing element), GeneratePress opts for a minimum set of powerful features that you can enable or disable as needed.
Supplemented with the GenerateBlocks page builder, GeneratePress gives you the total design freedom to create website of your dreams.
I’ve been using the theme for years on the number of client website, and I’m looking forward to the next GP’s next itteration, the dive into the full site editing announced by Tom recently and the opportunities this will bring to us.
Lastly, it is a missconception that GeneratePress is for the power users and devs only. The recen templates, and the new one built by Kyle from the Admin Bar, will make this theme appealing and easy to adopt by any user.
One thing that I whish GP had are some extra ecommerce features (aka Blocksy Pro add-on type features). Hopefully more attention to ecommerce will be paid in the coming months.
When in doubt which theme to go with, go with GeneratePress!

I have to assume that most of these reviews come from non-technical web hobbyist, or through marketing paid “PR” efforts. I continue to work on a project with this theme for the first time. I come from Elementor and WPBakery pages, not blocks paradigm. There are things to like with blocks and easy of tweak and copying code between pages and sites. But in building a highly customized site I will have to return to Elementor, the product just is not there yet in depth, it seems like dev’s think they are their but I’m telling you in you do a delta against Elementor in functional depth you will find a lot of gaps. Can they be addressed manually, yes if you are handy with css and html they can, but it causes one to loose time in this scenario. I do think however it is far superior for less complicated sites, where a designer is simply collecting content from client, picks a theme, gives them a few revisions and Voila site is done. And it is much lighter and faster than anything built with WPBakery or Elementor, which is clearly because there has been a lot less development done for GP and the blocks product, it is a long way from being more than a good solution for entry level and mid-level sites. The other issue I have had is the lack of good responsive support in the seeded css of the templates, the project has accepted the WordPress projects 3 viewport paradigm which is somewhat nuts, completely ignoring laptop viewport, maybe this is because they believe it is so close the desktop it doesn’t matter, but again Elementor learned this lesson a long time ago and addresses it by default, saving many hours of tweaking pages. I will leave my 4 stars and hope for more. Project should focus on extending responsive support and style control depth, I will use it again but won’t be able to put it in the main stable with the other work horses.

I’ve been using GP Premium for over a year now and always thought about leaving a review, but life kept getting in the way. Finally, I’m getting around to it. I started with various free themes and eventually decided to go for GP Premium. Since I switched, I managed to get rid of a few plugins, and the site is clean and fast. ??
At first, it felt overwhelming—the learning curve is pretty steep. I’m still learning and have a long way to go. But the customer service has been fantastic. Whenever I needed help, team members like Ying, David, Leo, and others were always there to assist and went above and beyond to fix any issues. As someone who doesn’t have a coding background, I found it challenging, but their support made it manageable. I’ve started using GP themes for all my clients and on all my sites. Slowly thinking of exploring Generate Block Pro in the coming days. Overall, it’s a great theme with amazing support. Thanks to Tom and everyone!

I’ve been using the free version of GeneratePress for some time now, and recently needed help with a few functions and CSS. Every time I have reached out, the support staff have been absolutely brilliant.
While most companies are quick to shun your question as out of scope, the folks supporting GeneratePress have not only gone out of their way to help, but they’ve wiped the floor clean compared to the support I’ve had from others.
Some of the requests I’m asked about were not strictly help with the theme, but about adding custom functionality. Each and every time a resolution has been achieved.
This review is based on my interactions with a number of members from the support team, but I’d like to include a special thank you to David (@diggeddy) who by far went out of his way to resolve an issue I had.
Keep up the great work.

You can buy the premium for everything, just don’t expect much. If you have a very simple issue, or very common problem, and you message them for support, you will find yourself answered by a question. Which seems fine, at first. But if you answer their question, you will be answered with another question. Guaranteed. And it goes on like this. And the questions they answer you with get more irrelevant. I’ve come to realize that they must have quietly quit. Because they can’t claim they aren’t answering me. But they certainly are not doing any sort of work. I mean, you don’t even need to buy AI to get a program to spit out a question every time a customer contacts you. But they seem to be paying actual people to do this; because AI never continues to answer questions with questions. It’s sad. If I actually get this issue solved, it will be on my own, for sure.
Furthermore, if you think you’re going to buy the premium theme and be able to serve actual responsive images with GeneratePress, think again. The only way you’ll be able to do this is if you pay them rent for their premium blocks – in addition to the rent for the premium theme. It’s an extortionist business model.
I just looked over their premium blocks. I might have considered purchasing it, except for the fact the only thing I want from them is to be able to serve actual responsive hero images (not what they claim is responsive – ie cropping). I’m not paying rent to be able to serve images. Thanks. I’ve apparently wasted my money, and no one at the company cares.

GeneratePress, together with GenerateBlocks is just a dream come through!
]]>Rating: 5 stars
There is so much I could say about GeneratePress Pro and Blocks. But if you are considering a new WP CMS, you have no doubt read how performant GP is. It truly rocks! But what I can add (along with many others) is how incredible the support is. Fernando, David, and team are truly incredible, answering not just direct questions about GP but also helping you achieve your own goal or solve your own problems, even with custom CSS. The support is so good that it’s like having your own agency team on hand, answering (usually within minutes to an hour or so!). If you are tossing the coin, put it down. Don’t chance it. Just go with GeneratePress – you will not regret it.

Tom and (especially) his wonderful support crew have created an amazing product. The theme and all it’s customisations is awesome, but it’s the support that makes this this theme extra special. The premium version and support is crazy good and worth every cent. It simply can’t be faulted.

Was very pleasantly surprised at the level and efficiency of the GP support team. They displayed great patience with me answering each and every question and solving every issue for me and this is a very fast WP theme, thank you!

I love the theme and the support! Both are second to none in my opinion!! Only a handful of themes come close. I think even the free version is better than most other free and premium themes.
GeneratePress is fast, light, and flexible. You can do so much with PHP and CSS to customize a GP-powered website.
I’m definitely getting GP Premium once my website starts making money.

It’s simple and easy to use, compatible with my favorite page builder, have many site library I need to use, also have their own collection of WordPress blocks.

I took the unlimited license right away because fore me it is not just a builder, it is very well integrated framework to create pages, blocks and automatic grids at will. The settings are very intuitive and easy to manage.
I highly recommend for beginners and pro users as well !
I am creating various professional websites and blogs always with GP.

Hello, Generatepress Theme
I have a request for you. Can you please provide the option to add a dark mood option to generatepress theme, as most of our users are more comfortable using dark mode. I have also had many requests to enable dark mode on my many site. I have used almost all plugins to enable dark mode from the WordPress repository but there are many problems in each plugin, especially these plugins slow down the website a lot.
I know it’s not really easy to come up with such a feature in such a popular theme. But it’s really nice if such a great theme has such features. Please consider whether to bring dark mode features to the Generatepress theme.

Recently starting using WordPress and was going through some learning curve challenges trying to get familiar with the functionality using a different theme. Installed this theme and was able to get the exact look and feel I was looking for. It is very clean and has a lot of easy to use customization available right out of the box. Would definitely recommend this theme to anyone and especially someone like myself that is new to WordPress. Kudos to the theme author!
