streamline and genesis

[bluex2]

I have used streamline as my theme - am I supposed to upload genesis with this theme? I read somewhere that it needs to run with genesis. Tony

Yes you need to upload Genesis to your themes folder, activate. Then activate Streamline.

Then adjust your Genesis theme settings and then apply your widgets (found under appearance).

Hi Brian

Sorry to sound stupid. So, with my current theme which is the streamline one - you're saying I need to run with the genesis parent theme. I've downloaded the Genesis Parent Theme and ignored the Genesis Child Theme - is this correct? And downloaded the Streamline Child Theme.

Is the streamline child theme different to the streamline classic theme or are these the same? Can it run on it's own?

Cheers

Tony

Streamline Child theme needs Genesis to be installed in your wp-content/themes folder.

No, Streamline Classic and Streamline Child theme are not the same thing (though the demos look the same). Streamline Classic is a standalone theme which does not use Genesis.

Yes, you can ignore the Child theme supplied with Genesis.

So:

1. Install Genesis
2. Install Streamline Child theme
3. Activate Streamline Child theme

I'm about to activate the genesis theme and the streamline child theme. By activating these themes will I loose my current streamline classic customisations?

Cheers

You won't lose any customisations by deactivating a theme. If you delete a theme - that's another matter altogether.

I haven't worked on my site for a while until today and was unable to find the demo for the Classic Streamline Theme on the Studiopress site. The Streamline Theme now falls under the Genesis tab. In looking through the Genesis/Streamline Theme demo it does not show the following page templates...
Author, Full Wdith, Product or Video it only shows Archive and Blog. Does this mean that the Child Theme (Streamline) does not offer the other page templates? If the other page templates are offered in the Streamline Child Theme is there any advantage in making switch and using Genesis? Thanks in advance for any advice.
