    Is there a tutorial on how to build a Genesis child theme? It doesn't have to be anything complicated; I just want to become more familiar with it to make customizations easier. I am a bit lost in available WP beginner tutorials since Genesis doesn't appear to be built like typical WP themes.

    Many thanks

    Order a copy of Genesis Explained by Nick Croft. I learned a lot from him over the years - https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Explained-Step-Step-Guide/dp/197704798X and also visit his website - https://designsbynickthegeek.com/. You can also look at Know the Code - https://knowthecode.io/. If you've never downloaded "Genesis for Beginners" log in to your my.studiopress.com account and download the PDF. That's really the starting point to Genesis. Learning the structure and how it all works with the child themes is what you need to know first.

    There are tons of tutorials on Google. Some sites have free content and premium paid content. I have a few on my site that are free. Nick's book is great though. I've been learning from him for years.

    @danielleb You can also join the Genesis Slack group. You'll land in the General Channel but join other channels. That's a good resource for you too. I'm there.
