Or are the warts entirely something different?

No, genital herpes and genital warts are caused by two very DIFFERENT viruses and have nothing to do with each other.
Genital warts are caused by HPV which is also responsible for cervical cancer.
Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Genital herpes can be caused by either herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) or by herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV), but it's more commonly caused by HSV2.

The warts are something entirely different. Both are caused by viruses, but herpes is caused by the Herpes Simplex Virus, while warts are caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. Completely unconnected.
The symptoms are completely different too.
Herpes types 1 and 2 cause genital herpes - normally outbreaks of tiny blisters that can be sore and go away in a few days, but can reccur. Herpes type 1 is also the virus normally responsible for cold sores/fever blisters on the mouth. 25% of women and 20% of men have genital herpes, and about 80% of the population has oral herpes.
The warts virus has many variants, some cause visible warts that need treatment, others cause no symptoms but can lead to cervical cancer. The warts virus is incredibly common - probably half the population has one strain or another of the virus. The virus also stays in the system like herpes and can reccur at a later date, although some people 'clear' the virus to a level where it cannot be detected on a test within a couple of years.
The only thing that connects them is that they are both caused by sexually transmitted viruses.

No. In fact, it's not possible to get genital wartes from herpes. They're two different viruses.
HSV is the herpes simplex virus of which there are two different strains. This causes blisters either facial or genital.
Genital warts, along with cervical cancer, are caused by HPV (human papilomavirus).
If you are seeing any type of symptoms at all, please see your doctor or planned parenthood immediately to be tested. And don't be afraid to ask them questions. They're there to help.

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about four years ago, when I was still in college and had a mindless one-night stand. I understand lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/aCx2q everything changed.
Not only was I able to eradicate all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!!! This program provided the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

No, herpes does not cause genital warts. They are caused by two separate viruses. You may have contracted both viruses and have both diseases, but they are not directly related.
