Do Genesis developers not respond on here? Anyone officially working for studiopress have any insight to my question.
flyallyMemberThat's not true exactly. There are plenty of websites that just use a custom standalone theme and handle the updates in house with their own programmers. Genesis released that theme for the average user who edits certain files then causes a conflict between custom and theme code.
flyallyMemberWell, according to this article: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-child-theme-pros-cons/
You only use a custom child theme with a framework like Genesis theme if it's going to be similar to the parent theme (genesis framework). Well, we are not building a simple website like a blog or typical wordpress site. It's going to be a very complex site. In such case, they recommend to just build a standole customized wordpress theme.
"The decision to use a child theme often depends on your needs. Most sites that we build for ourselves and our clients are child themes of the Genesis theme framework. In rare cases when the project is too complex or too simple, then we build it as a standalone custom WordPress theme. As WordPress developers, we need to streamline our workflow while creating quality themes. Creating a child theme of Genesis framework helps us accomplish just that."
