Hi @julaweg,
Yes, that works. Prime FSE is a block theme, so the homepage is just a template. You can swap it for a Getwid layout.
Since you have WPVibe, the easiest way is to let your AI assistant do it. In Claude or ChatGPT (with your site connected), ask something like:
“Create a new homepage using a Getwid template, set it as the front page, and clean up the theme’s front-page template if it gets in the way.”
It will handle the Reading settings and the template edits for you, and you can just describe what you want the page to look like.
Two things before you start:
- Check that Getwid is activated, not just installed (Plugins > Installed Plugins). I took a quick look at new.gozakopane.com and couldn’t see it loading yet.
- Take a quick backup. The free Duplicator plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/) does a full-site backup in a couple of clicks, and it gives you an easy way back if you change your mind. Your homepage is still the stock Prime FSE demo with the lorem ipsum text, so you won’t lose anything custom either way.
If you’d rather do it by hand:
- Build the new page first. Go to Pages > Add New and insert the Getwid layout you like. Getwid has a template library (look for the Getwid icon in the editor toolbar, or add a “Template Library” block) where you can drop in a whole pre-designed page, then tweak it.
- Go to Settings > Reading, set “Your homepage displays” to “A static page”, and choose the page you just built.
- If the old homepage still shows up, that’s because Prime FSE ships a Front Page template that overrides the static page setting. Open Appearance > Editor > Templates and look for one called “Front Page”. Delete or reset it (the site falls back to your chosen page) or edit it so it only contains the Post Content block.
One tip: the theme and Getwid both come from MotoPress, so styling should mostly stay consistent. If fonts or colors look off after inserting the template, fix them under Appearance > Editor > Styles rather than block by block.
Let us know how it goes. If this sorted it out, marking the topic resolved helps others with the same question find it.
Thanks for the amazing review, Ian, and for sharing how you’re using it. Reading that it replaced most of what you used to outsource is exactly what we hoped to hear when we built this.
You’re right that the output still needs a human check, that’s good advice for anyone reading this!
Nice, that’s awesome to hear! Thank you for the review.
Thank you for the review. It’s pretty amazing how smart Claude is and the stuff it can find.
Thank you for the review!
Thank you for the fantastic review 🙂 Yes, the free tier will remain!
Thank you for the review. Let me know if there’s anything you want to see in the cookbook specifically!
Hey Ivica, thanks for this! 50+ sites is a serious workload, so it’s good to hear WPVibe is holding up at that scale. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review!
Awesome, very cool to see how you’re using it! Thanks for the review.
Thank you so much for the review!
Thanks for the review, Justin. Got lots of stuff playing coming up. 🙂
Hi, John here, I build WPVibe. Thanks for taking the time to write up specifics, and I’m sorry the first run went badly.
On the naming: you’re right that it’s confusing, and I wish it were simpler. WordPress.org doesn’t accept plugin names starting with “WP” (their guidelines treat it as shorthand for the WordPress trademark), so the listing had to go up as “Vibe AI” while the product itself is WPVibe. We can’t change the slug now without breaking existing installs, but I’ll make the dual name more prominent on the listing and in the docs so nobody is left wondering whether they installed the right plugin. That’s fair feedback.
On onboarding: after activation, the plugin opens a setup screen that walks you through it in three steps: the plugin install (already done at that point), adding the MCP server URL to your AI client (with instructions for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others), and a copy-paste prompt that asks your AI to connect the site. Your AI then returns a one-click authorization link that opens your own WordPress admin, where WordPress itself shows the approval screen. The access it grants is a standard Application Password you can see and revoke in your profile at any time.
From your description, that setup screen never appeared for you, and I’d like to figure out why. The most common cause is a redirect or optimization plugin intercepting the post-activation redirect. Either way, the screen is always available under “Vibe AI” in your admin menu, so you’re never locked out of setup.
If you’re open to giving it another try, email me at support@wpvibe.ai and I’ll walk you through it personally. Either way, thanks for the detailed writeup. This kind of specific feedback is what actually gets things fixed.
Hi @dadsfam,
Thank you for the honest feedback, and I’m glad the plugin is working well for most of your needs.
You’re right that we should have communicated the changes to the free tier better, and I apologize for how that rolled out. That’s on us. The intent was never to catch anyone off guard. The reality is that every action the plugin performs has a real cost on our end, and the previous free limits weren’t sustainable as usage grew. We made the change to keep the plugin alive and actively developed for the long term.
I hear you on the double subscription concern for a small family business. If you’d like, reach out to us through our support channel and reference this review. I’d be happy to look at your usage and see if there’s a plan or option that makes the cost work better for your situation.
Thanks again for sticking with us and for the kind words about the plugin itself. Feedback like yours genuinely shapes where we take things next.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review 🙂
