    I've used this method. See if it helps you:

    You could just edit the "Publish Date" for the page/post.

    Not sure. My permalinks are simply custom /%postname%/

    Do you have a category named gtasks?

    Interestingly, when I create a page for http://www.malleeblue.com/gtasks/, instead of a post, it does work – but the sidebars of the blog disappear.

    Did you look at the Genesis Layout settings for that page?

    You could also use htaccess to redirect. I'm curious why your post redirect is not working. Does it have something to do with your permalink structure?

    If you go to the "Advanced" tab of WP Super Cache you'll see 3 radio button choices, "Mod_rewrite is fastest, PHP is almost as fast and easier to get working, while legacy caching is slower again, but more flexible and also easy to get working. New users should use PHP caching."

    I think if you choose Mod_rewrite and WP Super Cache cannot write it to your htaccess file, it will notify you to do it manually. If you don't know how to do this, then maybe PHP is the better option.

    You could also go to the "Easy" tab for the simplest, most user friendly set up.

    So is the old version of the site strictly html? Can you browse directly to any of the pages?

    If you posted them, the links to the site(s) are not showing up in the post here.

    It is still looking for the theme under the old URL.

    From the page source:
    <link rel="stylesheet" id="genesis-sample-theme-css" href="http://faraparkassociation.com/wp-content/themes/genesis-sample/style.css?ver=2.0.1" type="text/css" media="all">

    You can use something like myPHPadmin and do a search in the DB for faraparkassociation.com and edit to the new URL as appropriate.

    Actually, a plug in won't fix it. Stefsull got it right. See these links for other ways to use the CSS Content property:

    I recently used http://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/ for a similar situation. Worked well.

    You can't set that in the slider but you can redirect the post/page itself. When editing a post/page scroll down to the box "Theme SEO setting" and the sub panel "Custom redirect URL". You may have to set WordPress screen option (toggle at top) if you don't see this.

    I recently used http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ to migrate 4 WP installs to new hosts. Worked pretty smooth.

    Chris,

    I like this method of creating a responsive header image;

    There are lots of things that come easy with Thesis, almost like having all your favorite Genesis specific plugins in one Dashboard. I always appreciated that, but then almost everything has to be done via the dashboard. Thesis takes over in that regard. Thesis 2.X even more so than 1.X.

    What I like about Genesis is being able to access all the files in the framework, easily creating specific page templates, etc, and as I port some existing site over I believe I will be able to be less reliant on 3rd party plugins.

    Kind of a brief reply for a large topic. The take-away is I feel I have more flexibility with Genesis. Genesis seems to speak the same language as WordPress. Thesis requires learning a Thesis a specific language. "Language" here meaning "how things work."

    >The problem using Genesis Slider is that they are posts so I’m getting comments that I get pestered about.

    Can't you just disable commenting on the slider posts?

    @calebpike, I was a Thesis 1.5 - 2.1 user and recently switched to Genesis. I'm quite happy.

    The 1st thing I would try is to activate another theme, like Twenty-Thirteen, and then re-activate Outreach.

    On multisite the editor is accessed under /wp-admin/network/themes.php

    Why did you lose access?

    Maybe try:

    #header .wrap {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    }

    #nav .wrap, #subnav .wrap {
    background-color: #ffffff;
    }

    And you need to remove the header widget...
