The only thing that happens when switching themes of any kind in WordPress is your widgets get moved.
The advice you see about taking backups is because people freak out over every little change. It's a just in case worse scenario.
And it depends on what you mean by "fix things". No code is touched when a theme changes, but to me dragging widgets around is no big deal. Other people feel it's a disaster of epic proportions. (They also don't see the "Inactive Widgets" box on the Widgets screen.)
I've literally switched themes hundreds of times on a single site and never broken a thing. To me, broken is php code errors, not moved widgets. This is how WordPress is designed to work. The theme is just a design skin.

Andrea RennickMembereditor-style.css is for styling in the wp-admin side editor only.
It will never show up on the front of your site. It is for admin use.
To change things on the front of your site, change the css in the style.css file in the theme folder.

Andrea RennickMemberMany many code changes are the exact same for all themes. There's not much specific to News Pro.

September 11, 2017 at 6:58 am in reply to: Confused, do I need to create a child theme for a child theme? #211300Andrea RennickMemberChild themes are not meant to be upgraded and do not get upgrade notifications by default.
Upgrading the child theme would remove all your customizations. Only genesis gets upgraded as it has all the security updates and WordPress compatibility.
Any updates you see to child themes are there for use on new sites with a new install of the theme. These updates are listed in the changelog in the readme.txt in the child theme folder, and are often minor css fixes or spacing issues.

August 28, 2017 at 7:49 am in reply to: How to create multiple Blog-template pages that display different posts? #210834Andrea RennickMemberThe problem is that although I can assign different categories to each blog post that I release, I can't seem to find a way to tell the "Lifestyle" blog page, for example, to only display blog posts that are assigned the Lifestyle category.
You dont need anything for this. WordPress builds your category archives for you.
As Victor said - place the Categories on your menu. You do not need to create pages and use specific templates for this.
https://yourbetterliving.com/category/lifestyleThese are all posts tagged "lifestyle".
The last post is in multiple categories, which is why you see it on multiple pages.

Andrea RennickMemberThe Text widget will strip out additional HTML. So use the Custom HTML when adding items that need specific HTML.

You're on WordPress 4.1.3.
The latest is 4.8, that's why Genesis had errors - it's coded to work with the latest version of WordPress.

Andrea RennickMemberHi there,
We did get your tickets (all of them) and have replied multiple times. Can you please check your spam folder?
This forum is not for official support and is manned by volunteers. I just happened to see your post.

Andrea RennickMemberTheme settings and options are stored in the database - not theme files. This is standard for all WordPress themes.
Reinstalling doesn't fix or change anything except corrupt files.
Genesis has a "reset settings" button on the Genesis Settings page.
Widgets and Menus are changed on their respective wp-admin pages.

Andrea RennickMemberWe may update child themes, but they do not send out upgrade notices. There's a difference.
You are also not expected nor required to update your customized child theme with the latest version.
This is the official position officially coming from support.

Andrea RennickMember"My original thinking was to reduce the impact of updates to the child theme CSS including reapplying my own styles. "
Child themes are not upgraded.

Andrea RennickMemberShared hosts don't know how to deal with multisite, to start. And if you are giving away free blogs on your site it violates their TOS.
@victor "runs fine" is a lot different than "should use better hosting". The only time I'd use multisite on a shared host is for setting up demo sites or for a test site. That's it. It's a huge resource hog once you get so large with an install.Get a VSP or dedicated so you can tweak things server-side (depending on your use-case).
