About StudioPress Showcase Pro Genesis WordPress Theme 2.0.2

Showcase Pro is a StudioPress theme built as a child theme for the Genesis Framework. In the store it is filed under blog and news-magazine themes. The product listing gives little detail about its design, so look at the demo and the documentation that come with it before you build on it.

The important thing to know is that it is a child theme. It doesn't work on its own: the Genesis Framework has to be installed on your site as the parent theme, and Showcase Pro is activated on top of it. Genesis supplies the underlying code, security and search-friendly structure, and the child theme supplies the look.

The version on file dates from October 2017, so test it with your current WordPress and Genesis versions on a staging site before launch.

Requirements

The Genesis Framework, installed as the parent theme

Key features

Genesis child theme: Runs on the Genesis Framework, which provides the underlying code and structure.
Made by StudioPress: Comes from the team behind Genesis, so it follows the framework's conventions.
Blog and news-magazine use: Filed under blog and news-magazine themes.
Genesis settings and widgets: Uses Genesis's settings, widget areas and the WordPress Customiser for options.
Works with Genesis plugins: Compatible with the wider set of Genesis-friendly plugins and tools.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Sites already built on the Genesis Framework
Bloggers and publishers who value clean code and a stable framework
Developers who customise Genesis child themes

Look elsewhere if

Sites that don't want to run the Genesis Framework as well
Anyone who prefers building pages with a drag-and-drop page builder

How to install StudioPress Showcase Pro Genesis WordPress Theme 2.0.2

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 the Genesis Framework first, without activating it, then upload and activate Showcase Pro. Without Genesis, WordPress will refuse the child theme.

Getting started: using StudioPress Showcase Pro Genesis WordPress Theme 2.0.2

Install the Genesis Framework. Upload the Genesis parent theme under Appearance, Themes, but don't activate it.
Install and activate Showcase Pro. Upload the child theme zip and activate it, which also activates Genesis behind it.
Check the demo and documentation. Open the documentation to see which widget areas and options the theme uses.
Set up the home page and widgets. Add content to the theme's widget areas under Appearance, Widgets.
Set colours and menus. Use the Customiser and Appearance, Menus to set colours and navigation.
Test on phones. Check the key pages on a phone before launch.

Common problems and fixes

WordPress says the parent theme is missing when you install it

Why it happens: Showcase Pro is a child theme and needs the Genesis Framework installed first.
How to fix it: Install the Genesis Framework as a theme, without activating it, then install Showcase Pro again.

The home page looks empty after activating

Why it happens: Genesis child themes often build the home page from widget areas, which are empty until you add widgets.
How to fix it: Go to Appearance, Widgets and add content to the home page widget areas.

“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.
