Genesis RC1 to 2.0 – messed up site

[kletcetera]

Hello,

Just updated from the 2.0 beta version RC1 to the official 2.0 genesis release and it completely messed up my site.. sidebar is under the content.. like there are no divs. I was using the new genesis sample theme, with a content width and sidebar width a little bit customized. By the way I'm using wordpress 3.7 alpha 25000 (that was a mistake, wish I had 3.6 but anyway it was working fine before the genesis update)

site is http://www.pwnfitness.com

Anything I can do to fix this? I have no backup because the backup size was like 17 GB for no reason so I opted not to back anything up this time

You could try adding HTML 5 support to your child theme and converting your CSS to the new markup using a tool like this. http://cobaltapps.com/genesis-xhtml-to-html5-css-converter/

in Genesis 2.0 html 5 support is added in your functions.php file like this: //* Add HTML5 markup structure
add_theme_support( 'html5' );

before it was something like add_theme_support('genesis_html5') I believe.

how would converting to html5 fix this problem?

Try it and see.

Ok I used the converter and copy pasted.. nothing has changed so far. By the way in the style.css file it says the site is on beta1, but it is not.

I also run 2.0 with a Sample theme mod.

I did both of these steps (convert CSS, add HTML5 support) and have the same problem. The sidebar widget is now located under the content.

This is on a placeholder site, but I have a "real" site running the same theme that I need to upgrade to 2.0. Until someone solves this, there is no way I'm going to do it.

Partial solution:

I tried downloading and installing the current 2.0 Genesis Sample theme from My Studiopress. It works out of the box (as opposed to my manually upgraded and CSS converted previous Sample theme). Of course, it has none of my customizations. For this placeholder site, not an issue. On a large or heavily customized site, an issue. But for some people at least, this may help.

thanks dcason I'll try that. Just have to save previous css and re-type all the customizations manually. I guess that's a lesson learned for trying beta versions on a live site!

[kletcetera]

that worked perfectly! thanks a bunch you saved my life
