 * I’m using GP and GB for the first time for a highly customized site, versus using
   Elementor as I usually do (but don’t necessarily like doing, it is popular not
   for it’s Tom foolery by 3rd party devs, but for it’s depth of functional controls
   without having to code). I have some feedback to help.
    1. Code editor > since you can only migrate code via copy/paste using code editor,
       it would be helpful to display row numbers in editor, it is timely to hunt through
       lines of code to capture the needed code to be migrated.
    2. Blocks usage of hyperlinks is absolute path, this creates extra effort to update
       urls from subdomains of staging or dev sites to tld site. There should be a 
       settings control to let developer/design to use absolute or relative paths, 
       here is what i found from quick search on perplexity, I would recommend a simple
       implementation on/off of following filters:
    3.  - Based on the search results provided, there doesn’t appear to be a specific
          setting in GeneratePress or GenerateBlocks to choose between absolute or 
          relative links for hyperlinks. However, I can provide some general guidance
          on how you might approach this:
        - WordPress Core Functionality:
          Instead of relying on a theme-specific setting,
          you can use WordPress core functions to convert absolute URLs to relative
          ones. Add these filters to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:
        - add_filter(‘post_link’, ‘wp_make_link_relative’);
        - add_filter(‘page_link’, ‘wp_make_link_relative’);
        - add_filter(‘attachment_link’, ‘wp_make_link_relative’);
        - add_filter(‘post_type_link’, ‘wp_make_link_relative’);
    4. extend existing block elements to better support full range of css attribution
       that is available in the standard; for example, link text only has 2 color controls,
       there is no attribution for visited or active. I find myself frequently doing
       having to use coding to get affect needed.

 * Hi there,
    1. GB’s block does not have to be copied/pasted in the code editor, you can operate
       it in the block editor. As for the code editor, it’s a WP feature, we don’t 
       the control over that.
    2. Not sure what you mean, when you add link to GB’s button or headline, you can
       enter the relative links instead of absolute links, it depends on you. Let me
       know if that’s not the case you were talking about.
    3. The feature already exists in GB Pro, you can build your CSS via GB Pro’s global
       style.
 * Let me know if I miss anything 🙂
