To fix this, make sure the Theme name in the functions.php is exactly the same as the theme name inside the style.css.

For example: in functions.php make sure the name in this section –

//* Child theme (do not remove)
define( 'CHILD_THEME_NAME', 'Aspire Pro' )
….matches the theme name in style.css –

/*
Theme Name: Aspire Pro
Theme URI: http://appfinite.com/shop/aspire/
The theme name can be whatever you want, just make sure they match. I had Aspire in the functions file, and Aspire Theme in the style.css of a couple themes. They’re supposed to be the same.

Anita is correct. I also reached out to the theme author, Wes Straham at Appfinite, who wrote the Aspire theme.

To fix this, make sure the Theme name in the functions.php is exactly the same as the theme name inside the style.css.

For example: in functions.php make sure the name in this section –

I changed the "Aspire Theme" to "Aspire Pro" in my .css and the customizer works perfectly. Thank you!

Line 770 in you CSS

/* Widgets
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.widget {
	margin-bottom: 40px;
	background-color: white;
    padding: 20px;
    
}

I added padding to make it look better.

USE THE INSPECT ELEMENT feature in your browser, to highlight the area of your web page you wish to change/edit... Victor Font has a video/tutorial which explains this. It's a treat way to try colors or formatting without "making it stick".

[Andykev]

Try this: CSS line 1167

/* Entry Content
--------------------------------------------- */

.entry {
	margin-bottom: 40px;
    background-color: white;
    padding: 20px;
}

And background color on line 155:

body {
	background-color: #a6a2a2;
	color: #333;
	font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif;
	font-size: 18px;
	font-weight: 400;
	line-height: 1.625;
	margin: 0;
	overflow-x: hidden;
}

[Andykev]

.header-image .site-title > a {
	background-position: center !important;
	background-size: contain !important;
	float: left;
	min-height: 50px;
	width: 250px;
}

Change to px. It is showing text only...is that your logo?

[Andykev]

body.gppro-custom .site-header {
    background-color: #1ebe46;
}

You might need to do this:

You can flush your local DNS cache in Windows by following these easy steps:

1. Open Start menu
2. Click Run
3. Type cmd and press enter
4. In the command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns and press enter

It is advisable to clear up your browser's cache as well.

I built a website for a friend, and it continued to show ONLY the Registrar's "welcome page". Typing in the URL would not take me to the new website..even waiting a while for it to propagate. I use Chrome, and figured out the problem was on my end. I tested by using Opera Browser, using their VPN (giving me a new IP address) and was able to easily go to the new website and to log in. Went back to Chrome and ZERO.

Once I flushed the DNS, back to normal. I agree...Chrome has a very, very aggressive Cache..makes it fast, but it's something to be aware of.

I use "Notepad ++" to copy any custom .css or .php I've made for a theme. "Updating" a theme generally is not done...depending on what the developer is changing. In my experience, sometimes an "upgrade" is almost a new theme altogether (like a new header, footer, customizer for color options, etc.). So IF I do decide to install the "new" Child Theme, I treat it as a completely new one. Then I can just replace the widgets content. This assumes the new Child Theme has the same home page layout. You might find that the differences are only that a "portfolio" or "landing" page is being added.

You can use a nifty tool, DIFFCHECKER to compare side-by-side the old and then new and then decide if you need to save anything. And, you can always TEMPORARILY rename the old theme, and then install the new.

I am sure there are other ways to do it, but for me, it's faster to just have saved copies of Text widgets (and all my pages for that matter) saved. Sometimes I use a page from one website for another..and simply edit the content as needed. Saves me a LOT of time constructing the full page style.

Tutorial: How to Use Your Browser's Inspect Tool

Top of the forum.. How to use your inspect tool...

I use it all the time to try out changes or to identify the proper line of .css that I want to target for modification.

It's easy. The changes don't "stick" once you refresh the browser or click to another page...so you can experiment with colors, font size, margins..etc.
And the changes you finally like, copy them and THEN you can place them into your sites ACTUAL .css file.

[Andykev]

Site Header
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.site-header {
}

.site-header .wrap {
	padding: 17px 0;
    height:150px;
}

Line 1540 of your .css You need to use "inspect element" so you can easily change things. Read the sticky post above.

[Andykev]

Did you clear your cache? Did you edit the plugin .css file?

I just looked at your website and they look bigger than they did yesterday.

Clear your cache.

[Andykev]

I have used Envira on several websites. Very good, and excellent support.

[Andykev]

.sidebar .widget {
	border-bottom: 1px solid #e8e8e8;
	margin-bottom: 20px;
	padding: 20px 0px;
	word-wrap: break-word;
	min-width: 380px;
}

Also, making the font bigger, look also to the box (your pink box) a bit farther down and adjust those.
THE ABOVE code is to widen your sidebar slightly, (add min-width property) for the icons to be on the same line, otherwise making them larger will "stack them".

YOU should use your "Inspect Element" (see topic at top of this forum by Victor Font) and you will quickly be able to target any section of your web page and determine the code and it's location. You can adjust and play with the numbers using this to see what works, then copy what you want and then properly change your actual files.

[Andykev]

.simple-social-icons svg[class^="social-"],
.simple-social-icons svg[class*=" social-"] {
	display: inline-block;
	width: 5em;
	height: 3em;
	stroke-width: 0;
	stroke: currentColor;
	fill: currentColor;
	color: #000:
	font: bold;
}

Go to your plugin file and edit the .css.

[Andykev]

Should you not use tags? Google has image publishing guidelines:

Google Image Publishing Guidelines

[Andykev]

You should log into your host C-panel and you can find the files in your Child Theme.
Use the C-panel to upload your new image into the directory.

It's in your wp-content/themes/one-pager-genesis-master/
right under the file for css
is the file for images
inside it you find all your images
/welcome-background.jpg
/portfolio-background.jpg
/about-background.jpg
/contact-background.jpg

Just upload new files...of the correct size.
rename your file to match!

* if you were looking to do it thru the media library, you can't.

Your email has nothing to do with your WP theme, ie. Studiopress.

The email is controlled by your hosting. You need to verify that you have the correct settings (POP or IMAP) and the server (SMPT). If your plugin (ie. Contact Form 7) is showing that the email has been sent successfully, then it is likely your settings are fine on the website.

You could be sending your emails properly and they are waiting to be received on your end. If your "normal" email browser allows you to send email between your different accounts, then you probably have a setting wrong. Almost impossible to assist you via this forum..but it's not going to be your theme.

Plugins -DISPELLING A MYTH

The Genesis Simple Edits is written specifically for Genesis, by Studiopress.

It is simply a tool to change your files, without bothering with editing code.

It won't affect your site speed. However, you can edit your theme code if you prefer.

Please refer to this tutorial by Brian Gardner:

Customize Genesis Site Footer

[Andykev]

Add Genesis Simple Edits plugin and you can custom tailor your footer links, brand, etc.

Genesis Simple Edits

[Andykev]

Line 973 of your css.

.site-header {
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
    left: 0;
    min-height: 61px;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 999;
}

Look above..the stick post "Tutorial: How to Use Your Browser's Inspect Tool". Tells you how.

Also, changing the background may cause other elements to disappear. Like if you have white text, or the menu "selected item" or the hover property. Or the "hamburger menu" on your Media Querries.
