    Hello,

    Currently I had a template designed for Thesis, and now after I feel I want to run on Genesis after all the great things I hear and how it is better than Thesis.

     

    I don't want a whole new template, I want the current template that is on my website. Is their an easy way to transfer the template over to the Genesis framework? Or would someone have to re-code everything?

    Hey Brain

    As Genesis and Thesis are 2 totally different WP frameworks, I think it would need re-coding.

    Depends. There's developers who make child themes which work on both Thesis and Genesis so i don't think it would be alot of work. ref: http://themedy.com/

    I moved from Thesis to Genesis myself and it really wasn't difficult.

    If you have a child theme for Thesis, why not paste the functions.php file code into Pastebin and drop a link here so i can take a look.

    It maybe just a case of changing the names of the hooks and filters which you can do using search find and replace in Notepad++.

    Would also be a few other changes but i doubt anything too challenging.
