It looks like only Genesis Custom Blocks is active, though this support topic is opened for Block Lab. * Thread Starter [pgk37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgk37/) * (@pgk37) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13473072) * Hi [@ryankienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/) * Thank you for your quick response, I confirm that the Genesis Custom Blocks extension is active. * I migrated from Block Lab to Genesis as recommended. * Should I post my request in another forum? * Do I need to activate the Block Lab extension in addition to Genesis? * Thanks for your help Bertrand * Plugin Author [Ryan Kienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/) * (@ryankienstra) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13475310) * Hi [@pgk37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgk37/), All good, we can continue the conversation on this support topic. * Unfortunately, Block Lab and Genesis Custom Blocks won’t work at the same time. * Is there a need to have Block Lab active? It sounds like you did the migration. * Thread Starter [pgk37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgk37/) * (@pgk37) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13475992) * Hi [@ryankienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/), Thank’s for your reply * yes, absolutely, I migrated from Block Labs to GENESIS * Block Labs has been removed from extensions. * The problem is simply to call the content of my component (my page) with the shortcode. (i use “Custom Content Shortcode” Extension) * If I put a “simple text” block, in this page, it is called but not the Genesis block. Is the problem calling via a shortcode and it is not compiled? * Thank’s for your help! * Plugin Author [Ryan Kienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/) * (@ryankienstra) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13476236) * Hi [@pgk37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgk37/), Hm, the block should have been renamed in the migration from `block-lab/` to `genesis- custom-blocks/`. * Is there a need to update the block name in the Custom Content Shortcode plugin? Sorry, I’m not familiar with it. * Thread Starter [pgk37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgk37/) * (@pgk37) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13492952) * Hi Ryan * Thank you for your reply. * I did migrate the templates to Genesis. Besides, the path to the files are written automatically and for me they are displayed as follows: * MY_THEME/blocks/ * Should I change the directory name to genesis-custom-blocks? * I made a small diagram of what I’m trying to do : [https://ibb.co/VmSQRfQ](https://ibb.co/VmSQRfQ) * [ My page with my Block] -> [ Another page that calls this block via a Shortcode]- > [ HTML rendering ] * I have the impression that the interpretation of the rendering which does not work through the use of a shortcode, does the Blocks Genesis allow it? * Thanks for your help… * Plugin Author [Ryan Kienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/) * (@ryankienstra) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13495365) * Hi [@pgk37](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pgk37/), Thanks, the name of the block looks good in your link: [https://imgbb.com/VmSQRfQ](https://imgbb.com/VmSQRfQ) * > Should I change the directory name to genesis-custom-blocks? * No, that should work fine. * Did the ‘Custom Content Shortcode’ plugin work with Block Lab? * I see the same issue you mentioned with GCB, but I also see it with Block Lab. * It might be because GCB and BL use dynamic blocks. CCS didn’t work with a ‘Latest Posts’ block. - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [Ryan Kienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by [Ryan Kienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/). * Plugin Author [Ryan Kienstra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryankienstra/) * (@ryankienstra) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-blocklab-genesis/#post-13506377) * Closing due to inactivity, but feel free to pick the conversation up.
