They have some problems though.➡️ The Greenshift WebsiteThis resource has tons of information but unfortunately is not well structured and is hard to search through.The problem is that for some ungodly reason the site uses the basic WordPress search engine which only looks inside blog posts. These blog posts are used to present only some of the information.The much better structured Learning Center is not searchable. Querying its own search field that sits on the very top will not return results from the documentation.There is a workaround that solves this: use Google as your search engine. In any browser, load the Google search page and type your query followed by ‘site:greenshiftwp.com’. This will return the full range of results.As a shortcut to the above, in Chromium based browsers, type ‘greenshiftwp.com’ in your address/search field then press Tab instead of Enter, and the browser will switch the search context to the GreenShift website alone, which will return results from all its post types, documentation included.How to use Google to search inside the Greenshift website➡️ The GreenLight Buillder Pro WebsiteI like this one for the good description of GreenLight element blocks and the many practical examples. It can be found in the ‘Block List’ section of the website.➡️ The WP Soul YouTube ChannelThe GreenShift YouTube channel contains lots of information but the problem is that most of the tutorials are based on older UI and may look outdated.They aren’t — the logic is the same — but some people might get confused by the changes in appearances. My advice is to try and get past those and concentrate on the logic and process while ignoring the difference in GUI visuals.
The Packs are arbitrary combinations of Addons. I strongly suggest that you totally ignore any Packs beyond the All in One Pack, but if you insist to know, here they are:
The Design Pack bundles the Query Addon, the Listings Addon and the Animation Addon
The SEO Pack bundles the Query Addon, the Listings Addon and the Marketing and SEO addon.
The All in One pack is the one you should buy. It includes all premium addons plus several additional modules that were developed more recently and have no price on their own: the Figma Design to Greenshift converter, the Any HTML page to Greenshift converter and the AI helper.
To see what blocks are part of which addon, go to the List of Blocks and Features page of the official Greenshift site and use the filter at the top of the page. Pro tip: click on ‘All’ first to deselect everything, then enable each group one by one for best experience.
The Query Addon is in my opinion the most important component. It includes the tools necessary to make a dynamic website: query loop builder, taxonomy archives, and so on. You need this one.
The Marketing and SEO Addon is a collection of blocks for making listings, offer boxes, comparisons and so on. Its usefulness is largely dependent on the WooCommerce addon.
The WooCommerce Addon is a collection of blocks for WooCommerce that allows heavy customization of product pages. It adds some additional functionality in the form of Product Bundles and Product Combos, which are Amazon-style like upsells. You need this one as well, unless you only make catalog type sites.
The Chart Addon is a component that makes all sorts of dynamic charts (bar charts, pie charts, line charts, area charts).
The number of sites on which you will be able to use this license depends on the deal tier:
Tier 1 → 1 website
Tier 2 → 5 websites
Tier 3 → 15 websites
Tier 4 → Unlimited websites
The AppSumo purchase is mapped to the GreenShift All in One plan: you will get all addons
You will not get GreenLight Pro. Check previous questions for an explanation why.
You need to download the GreenLight plugin from the home page of GreenLightBuilder.pro — grab the GreenLight theme from there as well while you are at it.
Depending on when you acquired your license (see above question ‘Will I get GreenLight Pro…’) you can activate GreenLight Pro with your existing GreenShift All in One license, or with a separately purchased GreenLight Pro license.
The reason you should not care much (or at all) about buying GreenLight Pro builder is that you are not missing as much as you think. As explained in previous answers, GreenLight Elements are already included in GreenShift. You already have these.
What GreenLight Pro provides is the white-label builder panel ‘experience’. There are only two things that are different: (1) the builder’s admin menu entry doesn’t say ‘Greenshift’ but instead reads ‘Page Builder’ and has a generic icon next to it, and (2) the builder’s home panel says, ‘Welcome to WordPress Page Builder’ and you can change ‘WordPress Page Builder’ to something else via a filter function.
The 2025 BFCM deal for Greenshift products is taking place between 17. November and 7. December. During that period, AIO licenses for GreenShift for the highest plan, when purchased via the GreenShift site, will include GreenLight Pro for free. Source: https://fb.watch/Dqjj15IN9q
Bottom line: if you want the best deal, you have it right now. No more time to ponder and wonder. Buy from the GreenShift site, not via Appsumo.
Yes, always: GreenLight Element blocks are shipped with GreenShift and do not require an addon or a pack upgrade.
GreenShift has a free main component (available on WP.org), several free additional components and two kinds of premium extensions: Addons and Bundles (sometimes called Packs).
Addons are logically combined groups of blocks; Bundles (Packs) contain addons.
GreenLight Pro is a standalone product which is closely related to but different from GreenShift. More specifically, GreenLight Pro is a page builder plugin with white-label capabilities that ships with the GreenLight elements. A free, lightweight FSE companion theme — also called GreenLight — is provided as well.
GreenLight is a collection of Gutenberg blocks that ships with GreenShift. For better clarity, across this website I will do my best to always say ‘GreenLight’ when I talk in general about that component of GreenShift, and write ‘GreenLight Elements’ when I discuss individual components.
You can (and really should) read more about the philosophy of GreenLight Elements on the GreenShift website. As far as I can tell, many people are worried they don’t have it but it is definitely not for everybody. It requires a specific mindset and approach to work. I am not saying that to sound elitist or anything: this is just how it is. I strongly believe GreenLight Elements are easier to use and manage, but they require more footwork. It is very likely that the majority of users will be perfectly happy to stick to GreenShift blocks.
GreenShift is a Gutenberg-compatible plugin-based page builder for WordPress. It originated as a way of providing fancy animations to page components without causing loading and performance delays, but over time it evolved into a fully-featured site building tool.
