Dynamic Data (Toolbar vs Sidebar)

  • @diggeddy, what’s the difference between the same Dynamic Data option but found in the Toolbar and Sidebar?

    https://ibb.co/BVZC7CS

    From my experience and I could be totally wrong, I found that the Dynamic Data option in the Sidebar didn’t work for Element -> Block -> Post Meta Template -> Inline with avatar (not sure about other templates though). I used the the Dynamic Data option in the Sidebar to change the Date from published to updated, but it didn’t work for me; however, using the Dynamic Data option in the Toolbar did.

    Also, I wanted to give a shoutout to an awesome Youtubte Channel https://www.youtube.com/@adamwrightdesign where I learned a lot about GP and especially GP Dynamic Data. I hope other GP users can find this channel helpful too. (Disclaimer: I’m not associated with or endorsed by the creator of the channel)

    Hi @painlessseo ,

    The option in the floating toolbar is from GeneratePress theme, and it only appears in GP’s elements, only GP Premium users will see that.

    The option in the sidebar is from the GenerateBlocks plugin, it shows when GB blocks are added, no matter which theme you are using.

    Some of their options are the same, some are different.

    Hope that’s clear ??

    @yingscarlett Thank you so much for your reply. I didn’t notice my question involved in GP Premium and I will wrap up my question and re post to your official gp support forum, if I have any followups.

    Intuitively, I just used the GB Dynamic Data option in the sidebar to edit the Post Meta Template like how I did on other GP blocks, but now I see it as a Block Element and no wonder I needed to use the floating toolbar.

    The other day I just learned that Group Block and Block Group are not the same thing. I was like, what?

    GP Block vs GP Block Element

    I’m stilling learning how to use GP and many thanks to you and the other GP support members who have genuinely brought joy to the support experience.
