What’s changed in Genesis Sample 2.2.3

by 9 Comments

Genesis Sample is the default or skeleton child theme that looks similar to the parent Genesis. When I start a new site from scratch or take up PSD > WP projects, it is the child theme I use as the starter base.

On May 18th a new version of Genesis Sample was released by StudioPress.

Here is the changelog taken from their site:

  • Added accessibile mobile menu
  • Added accessibility support for the 404 Page
  • Added the custom header option to upload your own logo
  • Added customizer option for primary color
  • Added HTML5 support for gallery and captions
  • Optimized Avatars for Retina Display
  • Added the After Entry Widget Area
  • Repositioned the secondary navigation menu to the footer
  • Added theme defaults
  • Added Landing Page template
  • Added image size
  • Set localization
  • Updated XML file

So what do the above mean code-wise? In this article I list the differences between Genesis Sample 2.2.2 and Genesis Sample 2.2.3.
