SeedProd page builder is exactly what the name suggests: a WordPress page builder. In essence, page builders let you build website pages with drag and drop elements, making it super easy to create stunning websites.

How SeedProd Helps in Creating a Woocommerce Store?

Okay, so after looking at these features, you might wonder if SeedProd is only useful for landing pages or if we can create product landing pages with it as well.

The answer is a resounding yes! SeedProd is an excellent tool for creating stunning landing pages that help convert visitors.

The plugin offers powerful Woocomeerce blocks for your Woocommerce stores. Included in the new Woocommerce section in SeedProd, you will find blocks for:

• Add to Cart

SeedProd offers 4 pricing plans:

• Basic: $31.60

How to Install SeedProd on your WordPress Website?

SeedProd has a free version and a premium version as well. I’ll explain the installation process for both versions in very easy steps.

Installing the Free SeedProd Version

Installing the free SeedProd version is simple. Just follow these steps:

Go to WordPress Dashboard > Plugin > Add new.

Search for SeedProd in the search bar on the right. Click on Install Now and Activate it.

 

After activation, you’ll see a SeedProd welcome page with SeedProd Features & Solutions. Click on Create your First Page button, and you will be redirected to the SeedProd pages option.

You can easily create coming soon and maintenance pages in the free version. You just have to activate the button, and you are done with coming soon and maintenance pages. Also, you can create your own landing page.

Installing the SeedProd Premium Version

If you are upgrading to the premium version or directly installing the premium version, you must follow the steps below:

• To install the pro version, first, you need to log in to your SeedProd account. Sign up if you already haven’t.

Incompatibilities of SeedProd

With each WordPress update, there’s always a possibility that your themes and plugins may run into compatibility issues, and SeedProd isn’t immune to that. So here are some problems you may face if everything is not up to date:

Page Not Shown in SeedProd

Page not shown is a common issue faced by users of page builder plugins. If your page is not displaying correctly, try purging the cache. Whenever you run updates, make sure to clear the cache layer.

Page Not Shown Correctly or Formatting Issue

When your page is not showing correctly or in the format that you created, enable the isolation mode.

Go to Page Settings > General > Enable Isolation Mode.

SeedProd Builder Not Working

SeedProd Builder comes with a debug mode. When this mode is enabled, it displays all the errors, notices, and warnings. When you cannot insert an image or some feature in the builder, you can easily enable the debug mode with a click, which will mostly solve this problem.

Navigate to Settings > View Debug Information > Enable Builder Debug.
