Yes, I agree. I was wondering what are recommended plugins that I should look into. For instance, most WordPress sites will run Yoast. Are there any other "popular" plugins that anyone here would recommend.
Also, if anyone was to start a wordpress site today, would you use Disqus or WP's default commenting system? Curious to see what others may do here too.
MealtogMemberThought to check back. Anyone have more suggestions?
MealtogMemberHey Brad, thanks for the link. Not only was that video helpful, the rest of the videos are great too. Thanks very much!
So Genesis is really a parent theme that sits above the activated Child theme. That makes more sense now. WordPress updates would be independent of Genesis. Not sure if this still classifies Genesis as a true framework but it makes sense now.
MealtogMemberThanks for all the replies. Is there a video for installing Genesis? That would be most helpful.
MealtogMemberBy the way, once we purchase and install Genesis, is it something that sits on top up of WordPress?
1. Do we install WordPress first and then install Genesis?
2. For updates, do we run regular WordPress updates or run updates inside a Genesis module?Thanks for your patience. Still trying to figure this out without being able to see the coding.
MealtogMemberok, almost exactly what I thought. Thanks again Brad. Appreciate your help here.
MealtogMemberThanks for the prompt reply brad. I also think all can be done but can you elaborate if these assumptions are correct as to the complexity?
- adjust right sidebar to a wider width to accommodate a 300?—250 ad spot? At the moment, many themes are made to fit 125 ad spots (css tweak; 1 or 2 line of code)
- drop in a slideshow of featured content on the home page (is there a widget that we can drag and drop here using an editor inside Genesis/)
- adjust the footer with our own content; say the theme shown has one wide footer. I want to add a 3 column footer (hardcode some HTML into the footer file of theme)
- add a menu in the top of site that is based on Categories (add PHP in the header file of template)
Does these sound right?
