    Can you direct me how to manually update my existing Decor theme Genesis site to Genesis 2.4.2 ? I updated the site to WordPress 4.7 and it added a Secondary Sidebar widget. I know that updating to Genesis 2.4.2 will remove it, but there is no notification to update to Genesis 2.4.2, like there was in my other Genesis site.

    I fixed it! I went to Genesis > Theme Settings, and checked "Enable Automatic Updates" and clicked Saved Settings. Then the "Genesis 2.4.2 is available" notification appeared at the top.
