    Hi. I have no much knowledge of coding. However, I would like to know if I can convert any WordPress theme into a Genesis Child theme. If yes, how? Someone please guide me.
    Thank you

    Convert any WordPress theme into a Genesis Child theme? Probably not. Can you create a Genesis Child theme that replicates the layout of any other WordPress theme? Yes, but it may not be easy. You have to know how to code. Perhaps this tutorial will help you understand what's involved with created a Genesis child theme: http://www.sitepoint.com/creating-your-own-genesis-child-themes/

    That's really sad! I wanted to convert Accesspress-basic to fit on to the Genesis Famework. Didn't know it would be so complicated. I thought a few snippets of code copying could get me there and someone in here could help me with it.
    Thanks anyway Victor. Have a great year ahead!
