Enhance for GP

Updated on October 22, 2026

Enhance for GP (EFGP) adds extra options to the GeneratePress Customizer. You can change sidebar layouts per page type, tidy up blog lists, control single posts and the comment form, rename search and menu labels, adjust the footer and replace the theme icons.

EFGP has no settings page of its own. Every option lives in Appearance → Customize. It works with the free GeneratePress theme: GP Premium and GenerateBlocks are not required.

Requirements in brief

  • WordPress 6.4 or newer.
  • PHP 7.4 or newer.
  • GeneratePress 3.x, active as the theme or as the parent of your child theme.
  • A licence key. See Getting started.

The options only appear in the Customizer while GeneratePress is the active theme or the parent theme.
