    Hello,

    I did some research and figured out that (for several reasons) I would like to create a Multi-Site for my 2 languages (German, English)

    I would like to use the multisite plugin.

    My question is now... does it work when I have a parent and a child theme? Can I create a framework (multi-sites) out of it and still update the genesis framework on a regular basis?

    This really just confuses me. 🙂

    Thanks!

    I might be misunderstanding you because as far as I'm aware, multisite isn't a plugin, it's a setting within WordPress.

    That said, themes work normally with multisite, including Genesis.

    You'll install it once using your "network" dashboard, and you can install whatever child theme you'd like, too. Each site can choose what theme it wants to use, using their individual dashboards. If two sites are using the same theme, any changes made to that theme will appear across both sites.

    Best,
    Lauren

    Thank you Laura!

    So I could use 1 parent theme (genesis) with the mulit site and then have 2 child themes (one english, one german)?

    I could then update genesis regularly, wordpress as well without the fear of having my child themes changing their design. Do I understand this right?

    Thanks!
