    Hi, this is not a support question per say, but pre-install of Genesis for a new site.

    I'm wondering what is the life expectancy of the Pro themes I purchased (only one is left "current" in my list along with the Genesis framework).

    Two questions:

    1- Will Genesis be with us in 5 years?

    2- Is Genesis dedicated to Gutenberg as a priority now, or it is still good to use the Classic Editor with it?

    Thank you,

    Andre

    Did everyone using Genesis Blocks start seeing major front-end display issues yesterday largely looming from image sizes and nesting of images as backgrounds? All of our sites are being impacted at present.

    Was taking a stroll down Genesis lane when I realized still a bit of activity here. Here's my journey to FSE from Genesis...

    I used the Genesis Block Theme along with the Blocks Pro plugin when they were first released. But its a hybrid theme and wasn't being actively developed.

    When Brian Gardner released Frost, which IS an FSE theme, I switched over then and used the Create Block Theme plugin for child themes. I also moved away from Genesis Blocks Pro plugin at that time, opting to stick with core blocks for now.

    Frost seems to be WPEngine's FSE anchor in the dotorg repo. Gardner handed Frost over to WPEngine and then went on to release Powder, a stripped down version of Frost. Baselayer, a stripped down version of Powder followed soon after. I've used all three.
