The Genesis Framework can be used for any website.

AnitaKeymasterClosing this since it is drawing spam comments.

AnitaKeymasterThis is why the theme name is important as you stated:
the child theme was my own, it added a few things in functions and added tweaks over the parent stylesheet.
So therefore, your site and theme would experience issues on the update from the way you created your own theme. You would need to do what you did to save the site.
If anyone who reads this has never depended on the stylesheet from the framework, and only the stylesheet from their child theme, they should be okay to update.

AnitaKeymasterIt's always helpful @tomwgf if you can provide the theme name you are using as not all themes are created equally. It's like being blindfolded but expected to tell someone what color is in front of them. Can you provide the theme name you are using?
@deniseb, that is correct. Child themes are not dependent on the stylesheets of the framework. So you shouldn't see any impact on your update. But again, without knowing what theme you started out with or if you are using a custom built theme - this could be the wrong answer.There have been some who used the "framework" as a theme without a child theme which should never be done. So upon update, their sites either crashed or they lost all of the styling.

June 27, 2019 at 8:15 am in reply to: Adsense shortcut removed in Genesis 3.0.1 [adsense_hint] #491978AnitaKeymasterJust to be safe on all future updates, you should follow the Google Auto Adsense instructions here - https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7480616?hl=en. If the code provided by the participant above breaks on a Genesis or WordPress update, your ads will break. This is why it was removed.
Follow the instructions and manually place your code under the Genesis Settings > Header Scripts box.
Better to be safe now then sorry later.

AnitaKeymasterWhat child theme are you using? Your child theme would not be using the styles.css file from the framework. It shouldn't have in the first place. Child themes have their own style.css file.
Love coffee, chocolate and my Bella!
AnitaKeymasterThis is correct. Genesis 3.0 removed the style.css file from the Genesis Framework itself. What child theme are you currently using? Do you have a link to one of your websites?
*Update: There will not be a style.css file added back to Genesis. All styles should be coming from the style.css file that is included with the child themes.

AnitaKeymasterThe home page of the Breakthrough demo uses widgets, front-page-1, front-page 2, etc.

AnitaKeymasterIf you received a ping that a comment was made here, I have moved his comment to separate forum discussion here.

AnitaKeymasterHello, I've moved your thread to a post of it's own. You have mentioned twice that you were using the Genesis Framework default theme. Does this mean you were using the Genesis Sample theme with the Genesis Framework, or were you using just the Framework without a child theme?
If you were using the Framework as your actual theme, the Framework itself was never intended to be used as a standalone theme. It is the "engine" that runs the child theme.

AnitaKeymasterDid you update to 3.0 yet?

AnitaKeymasterHello, first let me address the (?) mark in your previous response. We are volunteers here and we are all in different time zones. So patience is really a big virtue when asking for assistance here.
You didn't specify the "location" of that page, but in answer to this, if you created a page that has "no value" at all to the website you should "noindex", "nofollow", and "noarchive", that page. There isn't a way to apply that to a widget.
That should be enough. The noindex is keeping the page from the search engine results. I would say do that. Resubmit the sitemap and wait a few days. Then do some keyword searches on that page title to see if the home page comes up or that page. It shouldn't but try it.

AnitaKeymasterInstall Genesis Custom Footer - https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-custom-footer/. Once you activate it, go to Appearance > Customize and you will see the Custom Footer tab. Modify it there.

AnitaKeymasterThat might be a better question on the Lazy Blocks plugin support page. They could probably tell you how to target that.

AnitaKeymasterYou're welcome!

June 22, 2019 at 4:27 pm in reply to: Why doesn't StudioPress have better nav menu standardization between themes? #491853AnitaKeymasterWell, it's really their design preference. I have customized many themes with sticky navs to remove the sticky. Why? Because depending on the number of sub-menus items you have and the screen height of the device, people cannot scroll to get to the remaining items that may be on a sticky nav. Again, design preference and based on need and how content is structured. Every theme I use, there is something I need to add, change or modify something to fit the project.

AnitaKeymasterYou can change the color either at line 1658 of the image:
...or just add this to your Additional CSS box - change the background hex to the color you want.
.footer-widgets { background: #041e41; }
You may want to learn how to use your browser tools to locate the areas if you plan to update your theme. Or, purchase Design Palette Pro which is compatible with StudioPress themes. You can change colors, fonts, sizes, etc. It's a really great product.

AnitaKeymasterGlad you were able to resolve that. If you continue to use Mai Pro (third-party theme), the best place for immediate support is https://support.maitheme.com. Especially since Mai uses a theme engine.

AnitaKeymasterIf you are seeing the screen reader text there must be an issue somewhere else. It should only be visible to someone who has their screen reader enabled in their browser. You should not need to hide it with a background color.
Love coffee, chocolate and my Bella!
AnitaKeymasterI am assuming from the path "/custom.js" that you added that to the "main theme folder" and not inside a "/js/" folder or some other folder.
