Hi folks,
I wish to keep my Genesis parent theme on one website (my main website) and my Genesis child theme on another website... how can I do this please?
It will allow me to keep control of my parent theme if I hand over a website (using child theme) to someone else.Does it involve adding the link to the 'Parent theme' URL in the 'Child theme' CSS file, or will a Plugin do the job?
Thank you for reading

Have you requested your free website audit yet?February 8, 2017 at 4:27 pm #200808Funky GrafixParticipantWhat you are suggesting isn't possible Toby.
To keep control of the site after a handover, you could create a new user for this person(s) and limit their role to "Editor" or less, rather than an "Administrator"
Only an administrator has access to the themes and plug-insFG
February 9, 2017 at 7:57 am #200839Toby39Participant@VictorFont, @FunkyGrafix, thank you for your replies.
The client wants me to hand the site over to another company, who will host the site on their web hosting account.
They will most likely expect to be the Master Admin of the site - having full control, and the client will most likely want this also.I don't want this other company to have my Genesis unique purchase code / license.
Q: I guess the only option is to remove the Genesis Framework then use a plugin to package the site (& database) into a compressed file, and use WeTransfer to send it to them. Also, letting the company know that they'll need their own licensed copy of Genesis Framework to get it working...
... Or can I remove my unique licence code from the site before I package it up?Thanks again
February 9, 2017 at 8:11 am #200843Funky GrafixParticipantIs this site currently hosted on your own server, or is it with Rainmaker Toby?
Assuming the former there should not be any Genesis license code on the back-end to consider. You would have simply downloaded the Genesis framework and theme from Studiopress and installed into WordPress
The software is generic and not identifiable as licensed to you..

February 9, 2017 at 10:53 am #200853Toby39ParticipantHi FG, I host it on my hosting account with HostGator.
I guess I will remove the G framework before I package it up, and give them some basic instructions.
Thank you
TFebruary 9, 2017 at 11:27 am #200858Funky GrafixParticipantI don't believe this is necessary, but If it makes you comfortable, you could do that and also send them the zipped up framework.
The framework you have installed as mentioned previously is not identifiable to you in any way. You downloaded it off a server at Studiopress, like anybody else with a licence. By transferring the site to a third party, you only transfer the software at the current revision level. There has to be a licence in place to update to another revision and if the new owner does not have this, they won't receive future upgrades.
Any help?

February 9, 2017 at 7:05 pm #200881Victor FontModeratorGenesis doesn't have a license code to run it. You need a license code to receive support.
