About StudioPress Genesis Sample WordPress Theme 3.4.1

Genesis Sample is a child theme for the Genesis Framework from StudioPress. It is the plain starter design that sits on top of Genesis, filed in the store under Blog, News and Magazine. It is meant as a base you adjust, not a finished themed demo with dozens of ready-made layouts.

The Genesis Framework itself must be installed first, because a child theme cannot run without its parent. The file on record is version 3.4.1 and dates from October 2017. That is old, so test it with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site before using it on a live blog. The listing gives no feature list, so read the documentation in the package.

Requirements

Genesis Framework (parent theme) installed first

Key features

Genesis child theme: Builds on the Genesis Framework, so it inherits that framework's layout options and settings screens.
Starter design: A minimal base meant for you or a developer to restyle with CSS and templates.
Blog and magazine use: Filed under Blog, News and Magazine in the store.
Good for custom builds: Developers commonly start Genesis projects from a sample child theme and add their own code.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Developers who already work with Genesis and want a clean starting point
Bloggers who want a simple layout and plan to restyle it themselves

Look elsewhere if

Buyers who want a finished design with many demos and one-click import
Sites that don't use, or don't want, the Genesis Framework

How to install StudioPress Genesis Sample WordPress Theme 3.4.1

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Find the installable theme zip
Theme packages often bundle the theme, a child theme, plugins and docs. The installable theme is the zip that has style.css at its top level.
3
Upload it to WordPress
Go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme, choose the theme zip, then Install Now and Activate.
4
Install the recommended plugins
Most premium themes show a notice listing their required plugins. Install those before importing any demo content.

Notes for this product

Install and upload the Genesis Framework parent theme before this child theme. Activate the child theme, not the parent, once both are installed.

Getting started: using StudioPress Genesis Sample WordPress Theme 3.4.1

Install the Genesis Framework. Upload the parent theme in Appearance > Themes, but don't activate it yet.
Install and activate Genesis Sample. Upload the child theme and activate it. The site now uses Genesis with this child design.
Check the theme settings. Open the Genesis settings screen to set the layout, archives and breadcrumbs for your blog.
Set up menus and widgets. Assign your menus and fill the widget areas from Appearance, then view the front page.
Test on staging. Because the file dates from 2017, check posts, archives and plugins on a staging copy first.

Common problems and fixes

The site shows an error saying the parent theme is missing

Why it happens: The Genesis Framework isn't installed, so the child theme has nothing to extend.
How to fix it: Install the Genesis Framework in Appearance > Themes, then activate the child theme again.

“The package could not be installed. The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet.”

Why it happens: The full download package was uploaded instead of the theme zip inside it.
How to fix it: Unzip the package and upload the zip that contains style.css at its top level.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/themes with your host's file manager or SFTP.

Demo import stops part-way or times out

Why it happens: The server hits its execution-time or memory limit during the import.
How to fix it: Raise max_execution_time and memory_limit with your host, then re-run the importer; importing content, widgets and settings separately also helps.

Pages look broken right after activating

Why it happens: The theme's required plugins (page builder, theme core plugin) aren't installed yet.
How to fix it: Install and activate everything in the theme's required-plugins notice, then reload.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the Genesis Framework?

Yes. Genesis Sample is a child theme, so the Genesis Framework must be installed first. The listing doesn't say the framework is bundled, so check the package.

Does it include demo content?

The listing doesn't state it. Check the documentation in the package.

Is the file up to date?

The file on record is version 3.4.1 from October 2017. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP on a staging site first.

Can I edit the design?

Yes, that is its purpose. As a Genesis child theme it is usually customised with CSS and template changes in a child theme.
