    Is it a valid scenario to use Dynamik Website Builder:

    If I import one of the Studio Press child themes using Dynamik Design / import/export
    And then use use the features of DWB to customize the theme?

    Will that work or am I missing something?

    When I imported a custom child theme previously I imported a .dat file in the Dynamik Settings tab before importing the child theme. This step is missing if I simply import as above (Dynamik Design / import/export of the child theme)

    Does this make sense?

    Thanks!

    Dynamik Website Builder vs. Genesis Extender

    Dynamik, Extender & Essentials: Comparing Cobalt Apps Products

    Use Cobalt Apps' Genesis Extender (or Genesis Essentials) to customize a StudioPress ChildTheme.

    Dynamik-Gen is a ChildTheme for the Genesis Framework.

    The Dat file was for a Dynamik "skin"? Skins are not ChildThemes. Dynamik skins are not replace-able by StudioPress ChildThemes.

    Kellylise, Thank you so much, I had a feeling I wasn't doing it right!

    It looks like it's easier to use Dynamik Website Builder than Genesis Extender?
    That was why I was trying to get it to work that way around.

    Not really sure which way to try now, since I was hoping to be able to avoid PHP/CSS coding which I do not know?

    What I am attempting to do is make sitewide changes to fonts/colors and custom color menu's and various areas of the site.
    I do not see any way to do this with any of the Studiopress child themes?

    Any advice how I should proceed? I'm happy to learn but would like to use DWB if possible!

    Thanks again. I'll have to learn some CSS, (no spare funds atm) it's been a few years since I read a big fat CSS book...Guess I'll need to knuckle down..

    Do you happen to know how to style the menu's in a Studiopress child theme, or a reference I can refer to?

    Thanks 🙂
