Hi Dave,
Thanks for the kind words!
I just checked the plugin on two sites, one of them local and one live. It worked in both locations, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
The plugin does have two requirements:
1) The plugin uses namespaces, autoloading classes, and other PHP eldrich majicks, so it requires PHP 5.3 or higher.
2) You need to be running WP 5.0+. Having an older version wouldn’t prevent the posts from being created, but it would affect the styling of the pages on the front end and the (lack of) editor on the backend.
I assume your site meets both requirements. If so, please make sure you followed these steps:
1) After installing and activating, go to Tools / Style Guides for Gutenberg Blocks.
2) Make sure at least one post type is checkmarked, then “Save and Generate Posts.”
3) The entries created are put into Draft mode, so your website users don’t see the pages. Can you confirm that you are looking in “All” or “Drafts” and not “Published?”
Yes, I did all the steps.
Sites are running all on 5.1 and PHP 7.2
I am looking at “All” and “Drafts” but there weren’t any posts created but on the admin page of your plugin I was getting the admin notice they were successfully created, but there aren’t any.
The install had only 4 posts before installing your plugin. And it still has only four, even after generating.

Hmmm. I’ll have to check the error reporting for that success message to see why it’s not throwing an error.
I’m going to build more comprehensive reporting and push an update, then I’ll ping you here to try again and let me know what error you get.
Hi again!
I can now happily report that the posts are successfully generated when I am using latest version 1.2.0. Now it worked on all installs where it didn’t before.
This is just awesome, as I find such things very helpful! I can now share this with other devs and also will add support for it in my next version of Toolbar Extras plugin.
You beat me to the punch, David! Darn you and your responsiveness! 🙂
I just pushed two minor changes as well to address invalid nonce responses, and a few more changes will be coming in the next day or so:
* Right now, if you’ve got one of the auxiliary block plugins (see the FAQ for what we support) that’s installed and activated, my plugin creates pages for it/them automatically. There will soon be checkboxes, because maybe you don’t need a style guide for Atomic Blocks.
* Details about the theme (does it support align_wide, that sort of thing)
In other words, hold off just a few days before bundling, and thanks for thinking to do that!
