Genesis Theme Framework

genesis Genesis Theme Framework

Genesis Theme Framework is built on a simple vanilla blog-type parent theme, and can be extended with the use of child themes. Each child theme will come with it’s own home file, which will make extending the parent theme very easy. With some built in custom widgets that will make adding content much easier on the User.

A theme built in such a way as to give users a tool with which they can build new themes quickly and easily, taking advantage of an extensive library of extensible functionality, by using a “Child Theme”.

Genesis gives you a lot of additional options, more than most themes. Then, on top of it all, your Child Theme takes WordPress, your plugins, and Genesis, and using a style that makes it look pretty, outputs an optimized HTML document to your site’s visitors.

Genesis theme framework, which in essence is the parent theme, is where all of the theme files are kept. This would include the typical theme files such as 404.php, comments.php, footer.php, header.php, index.php, page.php, single.php and so on.

Child themes can also include these files – and the hierarchy works in a way that if any of those files exist in the child theme folder, they will override the parent theme. In other words, if you customize a footer.php file and place it into your child theme folder, that will be used in lieu of the one in the Genesis parent theme.

Currently the only theme files that may be found in some of the Genesis child themes are a custom home.php file, which will control the way a site’s homepage will appear. If one is not a part of a child theme, then the theme will use the index.php file, in the Genesis-parent theme, for the homepage.

So What is a child Theme

A child theme is an extension of a theme framework which is comprised of typical theme elements – with Genesis, it includes a screenshot, theme files, a stylesheet, a functions file and an images folder. These elements are grouped together in what’s known as a child theme folder and can be activated like any other WordPress theme. To help explain the relationship of a child theme and the parent Genesis theme framework, I’ll go into detail with each one.
