MemberThanks, I am very new to this, what does this mean ? Does it mean I need to modify something on line 137 of genesis > lib > functions > seo.php before I can install Yoast seo plugin?

MemberThanks Neil. I did a search and according to this link I will also need to install "bbPress Genesis Extend plugin" in order to make BB Press work on Genesis, is this not the case anymore?

MemberNever mind, I am sorry, stupid me I upload Genesis as a plugin, it should have been uploaded as a theme.
Sorry, all good now. Thanks Marcy !!

MemberTHANKS for the feedback about AVADA, I almost purchased that myself and after reading some online discussions, I decided that Genesis will serve me better in the long run despite the steep learning curve in the beginning for newbies like myself.
I know nothing about WordPress and only started learning Genesis (with Dynamik) last month on a part time basis, so far I really like it. It is very empowering every time I learn a new trick here and there, feel like I can almost build any layout, any design I want.
I read an article that says shortcode can be quite a challenge when it comes to theme migration, I will see if I can find that article , perhaps it has some tips on how to safely resolve the shortcode issues without incurring too much downtime. I do remember it talks about asking the developer of the shortcodes whether he/she can provide a plugin that will allow you to carry the shortcodes over to the new theme. The developer may charge a fee but that will be well worth it IMO.
As far as migration is concerned, I am in the process of migrating one of my sites too. Like you, I want to avoid downtime, so I am having someone develop everything on another server that I can access with my browser, this way I can easily check and verify the migration process, and once I have approved everything, I will authorize him to upload everything to my current site/server. That is the approach I am currently taking, would love to hear from others too if there is a better way to do this.
BTW, can you share some of the things that you do not like about AVADA? Every now and then, I am still tempted to just simply purchase one of those ready made themes hoping that will be an easy way out. Would love to learn more about the pros and cons of different platforms. I hope I will never have to do that as I like Genesis+Dynamik more and more each day.
Good luck.

MemberThank you so much Kellylise, once again you came through for me 🙂 looks like the perfect plugin for what I need.
Thanks Helena for the suggestion, will keep that in mind as another option.

MemberThanks for replying. I have tons of images that I need to upload and I need to organize my images by categories, that's why I would like to have the option to create subfolder within the default directory.
I have easily upward of 1000 images and it will be very difficult for me to locate a particular image unless I can organize them into categories.
