    I am getting this message on my dashboard: \"Genesis Simple Edits requires WordPress 5.0.0 and Genesis 3.1.0, or greater. Please upgrade to the latest version of Genesis to use this plugin.\" I have WordPress 5.2.3 installed. When I upgrade Genesis, I lose the formatting on my website. I don\'t understand what more I can do to update this. Can you help please?

    Hi @marci, your theme is not eligible to be upgraded to the latest Genesis. They stopped support for XHTML themes at 3.0. This also means that if you are using Genesis Simple Edits, you will no longer be able to use that plugin unless you downgrade it but I wouldn't suggest doing that. It's best for you to update your website as it's pretty old (Prose theme) and outdated. I am actually working with a client now who has Prose and moving them to a more up-to-date theme.

    See Genesis Changelog here and the Blog about the updates here.

    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.

    Thanks, Anita. This is the answer I needed. Would you be able to share what theme your client is interested in? If they liked Prose, maybe I would like the new one and it would save me some time??

    Also am wondering why Studio Press would not have notified me of this? That would have saved me so much time and angst!
