Hi there,
Once the upgrade is purchased, you’ll be able to download the .zip file and upload it as a plugin to your WordPress site.
More info here: http://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/install-activate-addons/
Let me know if you have any other questions 🙂
You mean I need to upload the theme as plugin and NOT as theme? I tried to install the GPpremium as add new theme but the install failed with a msg “the theme is missing style.css stylesheet.

That’s correct – GP Premium is a plugin.
Full instructions are found on the page I linked to above.
Thanks! 🙂
Thanks! I tried that and it worked. Since I thought it is a theme, I was trying as I’d install a theme despite the link you sent. I thought that was for-if i install add-ons.
I have one more question, can you please tell how do i get the SM buttons within the nav bar like your website has?
Thanks!
Hi Tom,
I am loving the theme so far! However, I have a few more questions in addition to the one above.
I really hope you don’t mind me bombarding you with too many questions 🙁 and I hope I won’t have that many questions after this.
My Qs are (in order of preference)-
1. Can you please tell how do i get the SM buttons within the nav bar like your website has? My current lay out looks fine on desktop but looks terrible on mobile (I added the SM widget in the header). I want it to look like the ones on ur site or have the icons (centered) under the centered Header (I know how to center align the header but not how to bring the icons under it). I thought I can add them on secondary nav and place it between main nav and header but that doesn’t seem to work.
2. Is it possible to have border (plain or dotted) line over and under the navigation bar n footer?
3. When I hover the menu items, it is turquoise color background but the drop down recipe category has black background even though I set everything to turquoise. I want the menu items color on hover and the dropdown background of same color. How to do that?
For ref- http://www.plantbasedhealthy.com/
4. How to decrease spacing between heading 1 & 2? I checked the element spacing and I don’t find an option for that. If I click the recipe category or subcategory, the box containing the text ‘sub/category name’ has lot of space above and below it. I want to make that box narrower by decreasing the height (or the empty space from nav bar and post title). For ref- http://www.plantbasedhealthy.com/category/recipes/
Not critical at this point, but would be great if I can do it.
5.I want to remove the separating space by putting 0 and just have a simple divider (plain or dotted line) between posts and may be between widgets only horizontally not vertically. How can I do that? OR in simpler words, have customizable borders (at least plain or dotted line) for navigation and posts, footer and widget boxes (if that is easier)? How to do that? (somewhat extension of the Qs 2)
6. How can I change blue color in the drop down ‘Select category’ in the ‘Find Recipe’ widget in right sidebar to either grey or any color of my choice (whichever is easier)?
I know its way too many questions, please take your time. Sorry again for bombarding you with too many questions, and also if some of them are dumb! 🙁 The information online is too overwhelming and confusing for a novice like me.
Thank you very much for all your help!

Hi there,
1. This forum topic shows how to add social icons to the navigation: http://generatepress.com/forums/topic/social-networks-buttons-on-nav-menu-bar/
2. You can use CSS for this:
.main-navigation {
border-top: 1px solid #DDD;
}
.site-footer {
border-top: 1px solid #DDD;
}
3. Do you have the Colors add-on? If so, there’s a sub-navigation colors section in there 🙂
4. This CSS should work:
.page-header {
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
5. This is a little tough to give all of the CSS for. I am working on a borders add-on though, which will take care of all of this.
6. That blue is default with your browser, as that widget displays a simple select dropdown – no special styling happening.
Hope this helps! 🙂
You are awesome Tom! Thanks! 🙂
1. I messed up something while adding the SM buttons in Nav bar. I’ll try again and see.
3. Yes, I have the GP premium that includes all the add-ons, (and will include the future add-ons too (right?). I am able to change the color thru the sub nav section 🙂
4. The code you gave is changing the space b/w header and the nav bar, however, I wanted to change the space b/w the nav bar and the post title meaning I want to decrease the space that contains the category name (in this example, ‘recipe’). The two are shown in customizer as heading 1 and heading 2 not the header.
For ref- http://www.plantbasedhealthy.com/category/recipes/
Looking forward to the border add-on as soon as it is released 🙂
Thanks again!

3. That’s correct 🙂
4. Try this code:
.page-header {
padding-bottom: 0 !important;
}
Let me know if that does it 🙂
No, that doesn’t work either.

I’m not seeing that code added to your website.
Where are you adding the CSS?
Oh, since it did not make any difference, I removed it. I’ve added it again in Simple Custom CSS.

Hmm, well the code I gave you worked for what I believed you were trying to do.
I thought you were trying to reduce the space between the “Recipes” title and the content below it.
If that’s not it, can you let me know one more time what you’re trying to do, and I’ll provide the code 🙂
Thanks!
You are right. That code is working. I don’t know why I could not notice that. Had to remove the code again to notice the change it made. It’s embarrassing!
sorry to bother 🙁
