Nick,

New to WP and Genesis so bear with the 101 question. Running Genesis Showcase Pro and wanted to use this plugin for sidebars. You mentioned testing this with 4.7.3 but the plugin page shows “Tested up to:” 4.5.7
https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/

The plugin hasn’t been updated in 10 months so I was wondering if there are still plans to keep updating it?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Thanks bcworkz for the info!

bcworks,

Thanks for your reply! I am not skilled in htaccess coding, do you have an example or link to an example of a relative rewrite rule?

And you are correct the plan is to let the HTTPS get established in Google’s eyes then move to step 2 and properly 301 redirect the old URL’s to the WP standard format.

John Mueller of Google stated that you should not do 301 redirects during a http to https migration if you want to make sure thet all the URL’s are found quickly without any extended delay. As you may know he is the voice of Google these days after Cutt’s left.

Which is why I was hoping there is a way to preserve the old URL’s when I move to WP.

jdabber,
Thanks for the reply! Google does not approve of doing 301 redirects at the same time you do a http to https migration which is why I need to keep the old blog post URL’s.

A little background these blog posts make up 70% of my traffic which I don’t want to lose the organic traffic.

Thanks James!

Jeff,

So I now understand that “additional CSS” adds not does a “search and replace” so please disregard the last part of my request for help on the previous post. My bad!

James,

Atmosphere Pro is a child theme on the Genesis framework so that is covered against being overwritten like you recommended.

A couple questions and thanks again for helping out a newbie!

When you say block I am not sure what you mean but here is what I think you meant.

Insert this code block into Appearance> Customize> Additional CSS in the Site Dashboard:
Code Block #1
body { font-family:-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI", "Roboto", "Oxygen", "Ubuntu", "Cantarell","Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif; }

But what about the other code between Body {} in the stylesheet, shouldn’t I create the code block like this instead:
Code Block #2

body {
	background-color: #eee;
	color: #333;
	font-family:-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI", "Roboto", "Oxygen", "Ubuntu", "Cantarell","Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue",sans-serif;
	font-size: 20px;
	font-size: 2rem;
	font-weight: 300;
	line-height: 1.625;
	margin: 0;

Does this “Additional CSS” field just add the code to the stylesheet or do some sort of a search and replace on the stylesheet code? If it just adds the code how does t take precedence over the previous code.

Your reply is appreciated!
