GP Beaver Integration

Integrates GeneratePress Global Colours and Font Library with Beaver Builder for brand consistency. Set your colours and fonts in GeneratePress, and they'll be available in Beaver Builder automatically.

Developed for in-house use at Weave Digital Studio & HumanKind Websites to speed up custom WordPress development with GeneratePress and Beaver Builder. A single source of truth for a theme's global colours and fonts across the front-end and back-end.

Features

1. Colour Integration — Automatically syncs GeneratePress Global Colours to Beaver Builder's colour picker Presets tab and Global Styles panel.

2. Font Integration — Makes all fonts from the GeneratePress Font Library (GP Premium required) available in Beaver Builder's typography controls.

3. Presets Tab First — The colour picker opens on the Presets tab for immediate access to your brand colours. On Beaver Builder 2.11+ this switches on BB's native "Default to Presets Tab" setting (left editable in Builder > Tools > Global Settings > Advanced); older versions use a lightweight script.

4. Colour Grid Shortcode — [gp_global_color_grid] renders a responsive visual grid of your colour palette, ideal for style guides and documentation pages.

5. Brand Consistency Controls — Optional setting to hide the "Add to Palette" button, "Saved Colors" section, and custom colour controls in Beaver Builder's colour picker. Enforces use of the global palette only.

6. Font Lockdown — Always removes Beaver Builder's system fonts and Google Fonts so the GeneratePress Font Library is the single font source.
