About StudioPress Metro Pro Genesis WordPress Theme 2.2.2

Metro Pro is a StudioPress child theme that runs on the Genesis Framework. In the store it is filed under blog, news and magazine themes, so it suits sites that publish a steady stream of articles and want a front page that highlights them.

Genesis themes work in two layers. The Genesis Framework is the parent theme and holds the core code. Metro Pro is the child theme and holds the design. Both must be installed, and you activate the child. The listing gives no feature list, so check the documentation in the package for the home page layout and widget areas.

The title says 2.2.2, but the file on record is version 2.2.1, released in November 2017. That is an old file. Test it with your current WordPress and PHP versions on a staging site before it goes on a live site.

Requirements

WordPress
Genesis Framework parent theme

How to install StudioPress Metro Pro Genesis WordPress Theme 2.2.2

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 keep the Genesis Framework in your themes list, then activate Metro Pro as the child theme. Without the parent theme the child will not install or run.

Getting started: using StudioPress Metro Pro Genesis WordPress Theme 2.2.2

Install the Genesis Framework first. Upload the Genesis parent theme but do not activate it.
Install and activate Metro Pro. Upload the child theme, then activate it under Appearance, Themes.
Set the front page and menus. Choose your front page under Settings, Reading, and assign menus under Appearance, Menus.
Fill the widget areas. Open Appearance, Widgets and add content to the front page areas the theme provides.
Check posts and archives. Publish a few posts, then check single posts, category pages and mobile view.

Common problems and fixes

Install fails with a message that the parent theme is missing

Why it happens: Genesis child themes cannot be installed until the Genesis Framework is present.
How to fix it: Upload the Genesis Framework first, then upload Metro Pro again.

PHP warnings or deprecated notices appear after a PHP upgrade

Why it happens: The theme dates from 2017 and may use code that newer PHP versions flag.
How to fix it: Test on a staging site, keep warnings from displaying on the live site, and update or patch the offending file.

“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.
