GP Beaver Colors

This plugin integrates GeneratePress's Global Color Palette with Beaver Builder, allowing you to maintain consistent branding across your website when WordPress Global Styles are disabled.

It automatically makes your GeneratePress theme Global Color Palette available in Beaver Builder's color picker ensuring color consistency throughout your site.

Features

The plugin provides two main functions:

1. Color Integration: Makes your GeneratePress Global Colors automatically available in Beaver Builder's color picker by adding the correct block editor prefix '--wp--preset--color--'.

2. Color Documentation: Includes a shortcode [gp_global_color_grid] for use on a style guide which creates a visual display of your color palette, perfect for style guides or documentation pages.

How It Works

The plugin works automatically once activated. You don't need to:

• Set up a separate Global Color Palette in Beaver Builder
• Make any changes to your existing GeneratePress color settings
• Configure any plugin settings

Just set your colors in GeneratePress, and they'll be available in Beaver Builder's color picker automatically.

Using the Color Grid

To display your color palette anywhere on your site, use the shortcode:

[gp_global_color_grid]

This creates a responsive grid showing all your GeneratePress Global Colors with their names, CSS variables, and hex values.
