It's very possible using the latest Sample theme.

Here is a good example. Please be aware that this is a paid membership site

You should see the latest themes in your downloads area.

You need to adjust the CSS for the logo and menu to centre align both.

Here is a really good guide which still works with the latest sample theme.

Are you using the latest version 1.1.1 which was updated a few hours ago?

1.1.1
Fixed an issue for sites migrating from Atomic Blocks where in some cases the migration did not complete due to an error when deactivating the Atomic Blocks plugin.

Thanks RavenManiac for this thread, and kudos to David for taking time to respond.

As a Pro Plus member for over 5 years, I too share some of the concerns raised by RavenManiac. The information about what the move to Genesis Pro for existing Studio Press customers was thin and lacking from WPEngine.

One of my main concerns is what happens to custom websites built with Genesis 3.0?

Will Genesis 4.0+ and Genesis Pro be backward compatible for those users who are unable (or cannot afford) to update their sites to use Genesis Pro?

It is bad enough to second-guess what the next Gutenberg update will do to your new website, now we have to contend with what Genesis will do too! 🙂

Hello Kerissa,

The CSS to change the angled background color is in style.css (from line 815).

.site-inner::before {
	content: "";
	background-color: #f5f5f5;
	height: 50%;
	position: absolute;
	transform: skewY(-5deg);
	top: 120px;
	width: 100%;
	z-index: -1;
}

.site-inner::after {
	bottom: 100px;
	background-color: #f5f5f5;
	content: "";
	height: 50%;
	position: absolute;
	transform: skewY(-5deg);
	width: 100%;
	z-index: -1;
}

Just change 'background-color: ' to your choice of colors.

Try adding this to your style.css:

.pricing-table .one-half {
    width: 100%;
}

Let me know if that helps 🙂

@di, try this to add a 3 widget footer area to the Essence Pro theme.

Step 1 - Add support for a 3 widget footer area by adding the following code in functions.php:

// Add theme support for 3-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 3 );

// Reposition Footer Widgets area
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas', 25 );

Step 2 - Style the footer widget area by adding the following code in style.css:

/* Add Footer Widget Area
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.footer-widgets {
        background-color: #fff;
	color: #333;
	padding: 60px 0;
}

.footer-widgets .widget-title {
	font-size: 36px;
	font-size: 3.6rem;
}

.footer-widgets-1,
.footer-widgets-2 {
	width: 30%;
	float: left;
}

.footer-widgets-1,
.footer-widgets-2 {
	margin-right: 25px;
}

.footer-widgets-3 {
	float: right;
	width: 30%;
}

.footer-cta {
	margin-bottom: 40px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 860px) {
	.footer-widgets-1,
	.footer-widgets-2,
	.footer-widgets-3 {
		float: none;
		padding: 30px 10px;
		width: 100%;
	}
	
}

Adjust the above styles to meet your requirements.

Apologies, that code was from a customized theme. Replace 'start' with 'academy' for the original theme.

line: 2432

#academy-top-banner-close {
	display: none;
}

line: 2906

@media only screen and (max-width: 860px)
.academy-top-banner {
    padding: 20px 80px 20px 5%;
}

[Baz]

Add this towards the end of style.css to hide the 'X', or edit the existing "#start-top-banner-close" line:

#start-top-banner-close {
	display: none;
}

You can then adjust/delete the padding to center align the banner text e.g.

@media only screen and (max-width: 860px)
.start-top-banner {
    padding: 20px 80px 20px 5%;
}

That's the 'figcaption'. Try using less text, or better still, make the image full width.

You can see some of the code used when you inspect it using your browser:

.site-container .wp-block-image figcaption {
    margin-bottom: 30px;
    margin-top: 25px;
    width: 100%;
}

Try adding 'line-height: 1;'

.site-container .wp-block-image figcaption {
    margin-bottom: 30px;
    margin-top: 25px;
    line-height: 1;
    width: 100%;
}

"Your client needs to move into the 21st century."

Ha ha, very true comment!

Even Microsoft with all their money have decided to finally move into the 21st century by ditching their current browser engine, and developing the new Microsoft browser using Chromium.

Hopefully this will resolve most future cross browser compatibility issues.

Just to add to my original query, I want to move the 'Search results for:' title from it's current position to before the header. I know how to use the 'remove_action'/'add_action' filter but don't know how to target the search title.

[Baz]

Thanks @anita

I did contact support a while back but just got a generic response i.e 'All our themes work with the current version of Genesis'.

[Baz]

You just need add 'text-align: center' to the 'footer-widgets' code in style.css

For example, in Genesis Sample 3.0, look for the footer-widgets code in line 1405 and add 'text-align: center':

.footer-widgets {
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
background-color: #fff;
clear: both;
padding: 60px 0;
text-align: center;
}

If you need fast and reliable hosting with built-in features (cache/cdn/etc) then managed hosting from the likes of WPEngine and SiteGround is highly recommended (speaking from experience).

The problem with comparison websites is that the hosts which pay the most affiliate commissions are usually in the top spots!

[Baz]

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can ethically 'resell' StudioPress themes e.g. sell an unmodified StudioPress child theme for $49 etc.

However, as a Pro Plus member, you can install StudioPress themes on a client's website but the client would have to purchase a licence to have access to StudioPress support and theme documentation.

That's how I think it works (no offence intended) 🙂

Have you tried 9seeds support/forum? Looks like this is a known issue:

https://9seeds.com/forum/ellen-mae-1/ellen-mae-technical-issues-all-websites-are-down/#p30404

Might be best to contact 9seeds, and let us know what was causing the errors.

[Baz]

The simple answer is that any changes you make to a child theme will be overwritten if you update the theme.

In your example, you will have to re-enter your code in single.php after updating the theme.

[Baz]

@graywolf - I totally agree with your views!

Genesis is slowly moving away from a lightweight theme it once was to an all-in-one bloat (aka Divi). Have you noticed how the file sizes are getting bigger with all the extras needed for the one-click demo install feature and Atomic Blocks.

Since WPengine purchased Atomic Blocks, we are now forced to use this plugin for all new themes. Why not just stick to creating layouts using the built-in Gutenberg?

If you've built a genesis website using Atomic Blocks, what happens when there is a bug/problem with a plugin update (like it happens for every other plugin).
