Genesis Beta 0.2.2 Available + Child Theme Preview

We are very happy to announce that version 0.2.2 beta of the Genesis theme framework is now available for Pro Plus members to download in the support forum. This update primarily includes the SEO Options page and added an inline layout option for posts/pages.

Yes, you heard that correctly – we had announced 5 (which, by the way, is now 6) layout options that could be selected site-wide. We have also given you the opportunity to select layout options per post/page, which will override the default setting if you wanted a particular post/page to have it’s different layout.

Take a look at the inline post/page layout option:

Another thing we are excited to announce is the development of child themes that we are creating for the Genesis theme framework. While the intent is to slowly migrate current designs over to the framework, we also have a number of new designs being worked on as well. Below you can see the first two child themes that will be available – obviously there will be many more coming, but these are the ones that are available for beta testing. Pro Plus members can also download these in the forum as well.

Take a look at Mocha and Executive child themes:

    With stuff like this, StudioPress is worth every penny I paid for it and then some!

    It will be interesting to see how much flexibility this new framework allows developers and whether or not it can be a nice and one stop shop for the majority of blogger/developer needs. I’ve certainly got my fingers cross cause what I see so far looks great!

    And who on earth is that heavenly creature in the very first photo. If she comes with the framework, I’ll take 2!

    I would like to sign up for this. But could you clarify this before I pay.
    Are you saying that the framework allows you to select a different layout per post, per page, per category – in the same way that you can with page templates in WP? And if so: how is this achieved?
    Many thanks
