Simple question about installing genesis.1.8.0.zip

[NaturalHealthEd]

Hi everyone. It's a Genesis/workpress newbie here.

I have purchased the child theme and the genesis platform. I'm in the process of installing the genesis theme. After installing, do I activate it? or do I just then install the child theme and only activate the child theme?

Thank you so very much for the help. I have not been able to find the answer to this question, but it's probably right under my nose.

Install genesis, install the child theme, then activate the child theme.

If you activate genesis, it will change when you activate the child theme. There's no magic that happens behind the scenes - genesis just has to be there in the theme folder.

Hi Andrea, Thank you so very much for the very quick reply!! OK. Got it.

I got everything installed and I'm now trying to install or rather import the Demo Site content but again, just following the basic instructions in How to Import the Demo Site Content page doesn't seem to work for me. Can you help from here or should I make a new thread?

Might as well just give me the details. :)

OK. Thanks. I appreciate you and the time you take to answer. I'll try to be as clear as I can.

I followed the instructions given in the article entitled "How to Import the Demo Site Content". After the importing of the Demo Site Content I got these errors:

Import WordPress
Failed to import Media “sample”
Failed to import Media “sample-2”
Failed to import Media “header.png”
Failed to import Media “featured-1”
Failed to import Media “featured-2”
Failed to import Media “featured-3”
Failed to import Media “profile”
Failed to import Media “header1.png”

Everything else imported just fine.

I want to start off with the blog looking just like the Demo and then I'll make changes from there.

My site is www.power-of-us.com

I think it might have something to do with my setting up the Child Theme properly. I understand that I have to "Set the Genesis Options: Genesis > Theme Settings" but I don't know where to find info about what I need to set.

I also don't know what to set for "Set the Child theme Settings: Genesis > {child name} Settings (Note, not all child themes have their own settings page)."

Also, the example photos didn't show up from the Demo.

Let me know if you need more information.

But I don't see any tutorials on this page. I'm sure they are there, but I just don't see them.
