Anyone?

Nice thanks

Child themes. I guess that’s standard with those themes and setting up menus is required in order to see navigation bar.
Kind a doesn’t make sense that you would have to do something extra just to see navigation bar.

I’m sure if you are familiar with WordPress its not a problem, but I’m just running into problem after problem with WP.

-Changed the theme I lost half of content
-Downloaded free theme asked for support everyone is referring me to theme author who doesn’t support free themes anymore unless I purchase something. So no help from community or from author.
-Installed plugin to test it, tried changing button color in setting didn’t work digged online 2 hours found little support for it from pluggin author folowed 3 simple steps that didn’t work and gave up because too much time wasted.
-Spent 2 hours today searching why i can’t upload 5MB file when limit is 8MB. After googling 50 people with same complain came out with 3 possible solutions. (Only one actually worked).
-I was finally happy and went for a break when I came back and tried uploading again it didn’t work again. (HTTP error.)

So back to square one. Wasted a lot of time and didn’t accomplish much.

When I see how many bugs and problems themes and plugins have it make me wonder how is my SEO gona look like for the site and which plugin or conflict will click bomb my adsense ads when I place them on the site.

On top of all this I came across Amazon Affiliate plugin which resets every couple of days deletes your affiliate account with amazon on your site and defaults it to plugin author amazon affiliate account.

Which means you cant trust a lot of authors, and you have to look at their code and make sure you understand everything otherwise you may just pay the price.

It may be funny to you but my experience with WordPress is total nightmare.

I don’t know what would be the benefit of using WP then?
Am I missing something of why I should use WordPress?

I really appreciate your help. You actually made me think that I will go back to my original plan of building my site with Dreamweaver and doing this steps in there since I’m not that familiar with WP.

So many people told me it must be done in WP because its easier to manage files and I have to use plugins to do that.

Thank you again

Thank you very much for this detailed instructions.

I’m just little confused when it comes to doing it this way as you described vs. using plugin to do similar. Any advantage of using plugin for that?

Also, I realized that this would be direct links to those files,
how would I prevent hotlinking or mass downloads with(Flashgot) or similar programs.

Thank you,

My question was how to restore wordpress to its original point so when I install any theme I would see exactly same thing like their demo without any of my posts or settings. I really didn’t ask about specific theme but rather in general but questioning about theme led me to no answer.

from studiopress and yes I installed Genesis Framework
