This WPengine Genesis Pro Deal Will Give You 35 Studiopress themes

June 14, 2020 by admin 4 Comments

Sometimes you never know what will happen next. Replacing my old wordpress theme with a Genesis Studiopress theme frameworks for me was a surprising eye-opener. I wasn’t really sure if this would work for my Australian blog when I purchased the lifetime package subscription from Genesis after reading a review. I never looked back. Today studiopress is now part of the WPengine Network.

[Update: WPengine has just released the new Genesis PRO Deal with studiopress themes which has a lot of inclusions including hosting – check out details here. ] WPEngine is a premium and fast wordpress hosting provider with good tech support for your websites.

Breakthrough Pro Theme

This is one of the newest wordpress pro released by Studiopress – WpEngine after their merger. The Breakthrough Pro has beautiful colors and minimal design in a sleek, modern layout suitable for an advertising or marketing agency.

It has 9 widget areas and a widgetized sidebar that you can customize to fit your brand and it is mobile responsive, meaning your website will be perfectly optimized for every browser, device, and screen size. Breakthrough is compatible with Gutenberg and updates will be released with additional Gutenberg updates into the WordPress core!

Genesis Framework and 35 premium StudioPress Themes are now available for free for WP Engine customers* [New $28 Plan with 35 Studiopress themes & wpe20off coupon applied]

I manage a lot of wordpress sites and blogs. One of my websites had the default WP theme design and I decided to test the website performance by changing the design theme to the Genesis framework wordpress theme that I purchased a couple of months ago.

I decided to do this to optimise my website further with an SEO friendly theme and measure results, change layout options, speed and ranking. My blogger friends had recommended this WordPress framework – SEO optimised theme.

I was surprised I not only managed to double my traffic rapidly but I also fully recharged my affiliate earnings that were a bit boring and on a downtrend with that particular website.

How does this genesis framework work?

My knowledge of frameworks and child themes was a bit hazy before I actually purchased this theme membership, but now its all clear after actually working with this theme.

Definition of child theme:

A child theme is simply a theme that inherits the functionality and looks of another theme – the parent

Studiopress sites make use of child themes. All the studiopress templates/themes available on the website are called child themes.

They are two components to these themes to make them work flawlessly and with good structure and speed which is necessary for ranking in search engines . The two components are:

The Genesis Framework

The studiopress child theme

So all the WordPress themes available on studiopress are child themes and will work only with the framework. You get the framework free when you purchase a theme.

Both the framework and the child theme are installed in the – add theme (admin area) of wordpress. Once you have added both framework and theme to the wordpress blog. You first activate the Genesis framework and then activate the child theme. Now you are ready with your new design for your website.

Apart from the good coding and structure and advanced SEO benefits of having a framework, your theme also has fewer chances of getting broken with any modifications done as the template design structure is held in the main genesis framework, which doesn’t get changed with any modifications in design to the child theme. You could also say that this template also works as a content optimizer, due to it structuring your content to shine out of the box.

You can always just reinstall your child theme if any settings get broken while modifying the code in your theme. With a re-install, all setting data saved in the framework will be intact for your website. This 1 click install or re-install does save a lot of time, even if you want to change to another studiopress theme.

Before we get into the details of studiopress and how good they can be, lets dive into WPengine’s hosting deals as well.

They are currently one of the best hosts for speedy wordpress optimised hosting. with the merger you can get best of both worlds. Above are their prices for hosting.

Doubling my traffic on the blog

I suppose the doubling of the targetted traffic to my blog with a change in framework and design played a crucial part in the increasing the sales and traffic.

Today I am reviewing this awesome wordpress theme provider named – STUDIOPRESS THEMES. I signed up with them, earlier last year and since then, I have used their themes on five of my new and existing websites.

Little did I know changing just a website theme design would have such an impact on money earned. You could easily say I recovered my money spent on the Studiopress pro plus theme package. I know a pro plus package is not cheap compared to just purchasing a single WP theme, but the benefits definitely paid for in value and money in this case.

Is Genesis framework good for affiliate websites?

Seeing the success achieved by changing the wordpress theme to the Genesis framework, now I have two more other affiliate sites of mine changed to the studio press theme.

I have also decided to change my this blog theme from the solostream wp clear design which I had from 7+ years to the Genesis framework design theme. This, of course, is the starting point for me with this framework and I plan to customize the look even further.

I am no newbie to testing out different wordpress themes. The solostream wp clear theme has served me well on this blog for the last 7+ years.

I would still recommend solostream clear theme as my favourite especially if you want a professional theme with good Google Adsense advertising options.

In fact, I have a membership with them and also with elegant themes and ThemeForest designs. But it was time to move one and try something different in this challenging google search engine optimising challenge.

My top favourite wordpress theme/template subscriptions

This below quick comparison is not comparing individual WP themes, but actually comparing theme subscription plans for wordpress themes. When you purchase a subscription or a lifetime package(lump sum), you either pay an ongoing monthly cost or a lump sum that gives you access to all the theme collection that the theme provider makes for a lifetime.

Now that I have the studiopress pro plus package, I might have to make a choice to cancel one of my existing wp theme plan subscriptions. Here is my list of existing subscriptions.

1. Studiopress Genesis themes_{($499.95 Lifetime plan Or 1 theme approx $99)} (Check new updated Genesis PRO Deal )

2. ‎Elegant themes(my review)_{($299 Lifetime Or $89 per year)}

3. ‎Solostream themes _{($299 Lifetime Or 1 theme approx $49)}

4. ‎ThemeForest themes _{($60 approx for 1 premuim wp theme – no membership)}

Looks like its an easy choice, keep the three – as I don’t have an ongoing fee with ThemeForest, I just pay for the wordpress theme or plugin that I purchase. Studiopress has 62 themes in all and they are all high-quality themes. The templates are fully responsive design and so work on all devices and help to rank in search engines.

Apart from the united states, Genesis studiopress themes are most popular in countries like Spain, India, Italy, Vietnam and Australia. The most popular package is the PRO PLUS package and the most popular themes are the Essence PRO and Aspire PRO Themes.

The best-inbuilt SEO in a wordpress theme

SEO if properly inbuilt into a website design framework can work wonders for your site. The Genesis framework has managed to do this well and makes your website content shine in search engines.

The only other framework that did this well was the old thesis framework. Unfortunately, the Thesis template is not that well supported today.

_{Genesis SEO settings image above}

Genesis themes have inbuilt sharing buttons for social media and have their own custom developed plugins and theme you can use for optimal use. They also provide a hosted solution package for which I have given details below. This is best used as a self-hosted option for blogging or websites.

The Genesis theme works well just out of the box, so you really don’t need an SEO plugin for the theme.

It has its own SEO settings panel – however, if you want to get more in-depth control of your SEO you could add the “all in one SEO” or “Yoast SEO plugin” and the theme automatically defaults to the installed SEO plugin settings.

My Review of Genesis Framework – Studiopress themes

I have always got good search engine results just running the theme out of the box, with just a few basic plugins. If you don’t like the basic design look of the Genesis framework design, you can either buy a child theme that suits your taste or then just splurge and get the whole premium plus package(lifetime membership).

Its worth it! – why might you ask?

Here is why I think its worth it?

PROS of WPEngine Studiopress Themes

One of the best-inbuilt SEO framework design. This reduces your on-page SEO effort quite a bit.

Frameworks work much better than any other wp design where SEO is important. The Genesis framework is just built to work out of the box, so there is no real need for more advanced SEO editing that you have to do.

Here are some of the rest of the reasons, why its worth the money.

Detailed Setup/install guides for theme setup and Demo Content :

All those good-looking designs studiopress have on their website – Guess what, there is detailed set up tutorials for most of those themes. They got a detailed install tutorial page and demo content for each theme they sell.

This is available to you soon as you purchase your theme. Some themes even provide an instant XML setup file so you don’t have to worry setting it all. You just download the demo content XML file and upload it to your website and it will get set up just like the demo site. Their support pages will let you know which free plugins you will need to install for this.

Fully Responsive and Modern styling:

Want to be ranked high on search engines. Responsive themes are a ranking factor to rank higher in Google search and these themes are mobile responsive. All the themes provided are fully responsive and work well on desktops, tablets, and mobile.

The designs are made using modern concepts and trends to display fluid design and flow.

A typical featureset of a studiopress theme :

Features showed above may differ from theme to theme, but is an indication of what you can get with many studiopress themes.

Multiple themes available on Plus plan:

I purchased the lifetime membership plus plan which is the best value plan for these themes. You get access to a variety of many different theme niches like recipe themes, an agency designed theme, templates for portfolio, news-based designs, fashion blog theme, health-focused theme and many more.

The themes are provided by studiopress themselves and many themes are now also by approved third-party theme builders. These designs are easily adaptable for business or corporate design and you don’t need to use visual composer for any designing purposes.

Free and paid Studiopress plugins

Apart from Free wordpress plugins, there is a number of free studiopress plugins ( genesis author pro, genesis responsive slider, simple social icons and many more) that have been specifically developed for these themes.

There is the Design Palette Pro plugin which is a third party paid plugin that is available for these themes which works like a website builder tool. With this PRo plugin, you can quickly and easily modify the look of your website without touching any code.

You can change the look of the Colors, fonts, backgrounds, margins, and padding and also the look of the header, navigation, content area, sidebars, and footers.

Extensive online support/help:

There are many online tutorials on the internet available for advanced theme hacks.

Wide customer base means more shortcuts and hacks to make things better or to do some advanced optimizing. They are heaps of people sharing their tips and code modifications online to make these themes even more better.

The Genesis customer support is quick and knowledgeable.

In my one year, I have contacted them only once to ask a technical query I had. And they came back within the day providing two solutions to my query.It got solved immediately

Did I already say – pretty good inbuilt SEO options!

With the purchase of the Pro Plus Package, you receive instant and unlimited access, plus support and updates, for all themes created by StudioPress.

CONS of Studiopress themes :

I can only think of 1 con for studiopress themes and that is the price – which many feel is a bit too pricey. While it looks the case on the face of it, believe me its worth it in the long run.

Summary

To sum it up – I don’t want to have to worry about whether my website theme has good SEO, security, or any of the things a theme really should already have. This is a clean coded search engine optimized theme out of the box.

I know Genesis gets updated automatically on a regular basis and so is secure and I know the “team at StudioPress” knows all about what they do – Code awesome themes, based on my support interaction with them.

Why I love elegant themes website builder plugin

July 29, 2017 by admin 5 Comments

[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text full module transformed” _builder_version=”3.0.76″ background_layout=”light” border_style=”solid”]

Today I am going to show you an amazing WordPress Wp plugin that can make any WordPress website awesome. I will test elements of the design modules within the post to show you what can be done.

Its from elegant themes.This is not a review, but a honest write up on a amazing WP plugin that can transform your website design and look of your blog posts.

I love this plugin as you can use it with any theme. I have been using elegant themes and plugins for the past 7+ years.

The Divi Builder plugin from elegant

This wordpress web builder plugin can make landing pages, faq pages, lead or sale buttons, your profile or portfolio page, an awesome price comparison page or just mix this all together in one page seamlessly. You could easily add any of these above mentioned features to any page on your website. The plugin that does this is called the divi builder plugin from elegant themes. I have been using elegant for the last 7 years and they are the most value for money wp theme provider IMHO.

To be honest I got to know about the divi builder plugin only a bit recently and I m a fan already. I like it because it does not restrict and can be used with any WP theme you have installed on your webpage. It can make your website look like a professional landing page in a minute, if you like . It builds webpages as responsive pages. You can easily chop and change design elements on a page including adding a pic background , transparent color background and many more features to any section of your page.

The beauty of this all is anybody can now design an awesome looking page or website with this website builder plugin without having to know any coding. This plugin uses the new drag and drop technology, where you can just drag a premade section or style to your page and drop it where you want it to appear. You can then go ahead and edit elements further if you want, like adding a background color or pic, changing the font and font colors size for that section, adjusting margins , padding etc and much more.

Using this plugin, I almost felt like i am using microsoft word and making an amazing looking document – its so easy. For people entirely new to websites or minimum knowledge of websites, this might still take a few days of getting used to how you use this plugin, but once you know what you can do with it, you will use it everywhere. what does this Website builder plugin cost – It is available with purchasing a yearly membership to elegant themes, but for sure you get much more in value than you can imagine with the membership fees. Details of fees below.

So what’s the price of their membership today ?

The cost for a elegant WP theme membership today is $89 per year. For this you get access to their whole collection of 87 premium wordpress themes, access to all plugins,updates and premium support. The got two awesome plugins Bloom ( email opt in plugins for collecting emails) and Monarch ( Social media sharing plugin) that by itself is of great value and is included with the membership fees.

They have an amazing 22 responsive themes and many more themes including ecommerce, magazine and 4 free tumblr themes.

Divi builder plugin vs Divi theme

The divi website builder plugin was built as an afterthought to the release of the Divi theme, but both of them are awesome in thier own ways. Divi theme has all the features of the divi builder inbuilt into the theme, while the builder plugin can be used as a stand alone wp plugin to work with any wordpress theme.

I actually tried this plugin on one website that i am building for a friend. I used the genesis pro theme with the divi builder plugin and was amazed I managed a google page 1 ranking for him within a week .

There is also the “EXTRA Theme” from elegant wordpress themes that makes use of the divi functionality and is an amazing theme itself out of the box. When I first purchased my elegant theme membership 5+ years ago it was only $39 a year for like 60 or so premium wordpress themes and it was a steal then. Today prices have increased with most premium wp theme and template providers, yet elegant is the cheapest with the most professionally coded themes on the internet.

When I first started blogging i was on a budget and purchased single themes costing me anywhere betwen $15 to $30 for each theme at that time. So when I came across 60 plus quality themes, it just made sense to sign up for a yearly membership. I didnt regret it and my active membership today and use of thier plugins is proof of that.

Apart from this plugin they do have some other amazing WP plugins like bloom and Monarch that I use on some other websites and those add value for the membership too.

I have websites as online web directories that I launched 3 years ago and still doing well with the elegant elist theme.

To be fair I do have other favorite theme providers too. After elegant, I would rate Solostream WP themes and the Studiopress Genesis themes as my second best WPtheme providers. I used to use wpzoom for quite some time, but then they started charging more for extended support etc , so I ditchedd them. Thier themes are still good and helped me rank sone sites up , but i feel Studiopress Genesis themes much better and getting ranked with thier in built seo. I have made sites that make me money withdc elegant themes and rank on google as well, so I hope im not confusing you.

Each theme provider has their own unique strong points and so its always good to sign up with at least three if you can afford to. If you cant then the choice is clear for me.

If you are looking for a good design option for your existing or new wordpress blog , then do check out their themes here, before you go elswhere. You will thank me later! 🙂

Guide: How to install a WordPress Blog Theme

December 13, 2015 by admin 4 Comments

If you are a new blogger, it is essential you know about wordpress website themes and how to install one on your blog. Installing a theme on a word press website is not hard at all and I will give you a detailed tutorial and guide below.

However if you are searching for a Full tutorial on how to install and start a wordpress blog then please check out his tech blog post here.

Installing a good wordpress website premuim theme can create a lot of trust in your blog audience and you are much more likely to get repeat viewers/subscribers if you back it up with good and interesting content and relevant pics on your blog.

For those who are entirely new to this:

What is a WordPress theme?

It’s essentially is a way to “skin” your blog. You could say its like a dress, you change the dress and the blog looks different. You could make your website look like a recipe blog, A photography blog just by changing its theme (design) in just a few clicks. It can also be called as a template or premade custom design.

The WordPress Theme Directory is the official site for WordPress Free themes. There are Custom designers or programmers can charge $500 and upwards for a design, while you can get pre made designs for as low as $10 for a WP design , or annual memberships that are as low as $79 for 80 + premium themes or then it can also go as high as $250 a Wp Theme.

The theme as such merely changes the look and design of the blog and not how the WordPress-CMS works.

Installing or Adding New and Paid WordPressThemes using the Admin Dashboard

You can download Themes directly to your blog by using the Add New Themes option in the Appearance sub-menu within your word-press.

1. Log in to the WordPress Administration Panels.

2. Select the Appearance panel, then Themes.

3. Select Add New.

4. Either use the Search or Filter options to locate a free or paid theme you uploaded that you would like to use.

5. Click on the Preview link to preview the Theme or the Install Now link to upload the Theme to your blog,

6. Or use the Upload link in the top links row to upload a zipped copy of a Theme that you have previously downloaded to your machine

Paid Vs Free themes

WordPress currently comes with three themes that you can install from within the blog and their default themes are Twenty Fifteen theme, and previous defaults Twenty Fourteen theme and Twenty Thirteen theme.

I recommend Three paid themes providers that I know are of value in price and quality as I have been using them for 8+ years now. They are listed below

Solostream themes – www.solostream.com

They are very robust themes that are built from the ground up using proper wp architecture and hardly need any updating , besides they have very flexible advertising options to use banners or affiliate links –which you can turn off if you don’t want to use. They look very professional and can integrate all your social media buttons

Elegant themes – www.elegantthemes.com

They are premium themes and have the best pricing on the internet for wordpress themes, you just pay $79 and you can use any of their 80+ WP premium themes on how many ever blogs you want. They have a wide range of themes from e-stores , to recipe blogs themes and much more.

Themeforest – www.themeforest.net

They not only have themes but also have a vast collection of wp plugins and scripts. They also have templates for free blogging platforms like , blogpsot , tumblr any many more. They have templates starting from $5 right upto $200+

I prefer to used paid themes, because they are updated much more regularly, specially if any security hole is found out , you get an immediate update. While free themes are not often updated and so can also break with word press updates and therefore break your blog.

Installing new themes via CPanel or then FTP

To add a paid theme to your WordPress installation via Cpanel, here are the steps:

Most webhosting companies offer a cPanel control panel, and most paid themes come in a .zip or .gz archive. This is assuming that your theme-download is a compressed (.zip) file containing a folder under which all the Theme files exist in.

1. Download the Theme .zip file to your computer.

2. In cPanel File Manager, find and go to your Themes folder. If your WordPress is installed in the root folder of your web server you would navigate to “public_html/wp-content/themes” and if you have WordPress installed in a sub-folder called wordpress or named something else , you would navigate to “public_html/wordpress or something else /wp-content/themes”.

3. Find the Themes folder in cPanel File Manager, click on Upload file(s) and upload that .zip file from step 1

4. Once the .zip file is uploaded, click on the name of that file in cPanel, then in the panel to the right, click on “Extract File Contents”, and that .zip file will be uncompressed in your wp installation and ready to use.

5. Just login to your blog via admin panel – got to appearances themes and select the theme you uploaded and click activate. Your new theme is installed on your blog and ready.

To add a paid theme to your WordPress installation via FTP, here are the steps:

1. Download the Theme archive (normally zip file) and extract the files it contains. Do not change the the directory structure in the archive when extracting these files. Check if any special installing guidelines are provided by your Theme author in this directory.

2. Using an FTP Software – login to your hosting web server. Your hosting company should have given you this ftp login details when you installed your blog and created a ftp login.

3. Upload the Theme files you extracted to the wp-content/themes directory on your host server. Your this folder will now have different theme folders Eg recipe theme, elegant tech theme under this main theme folder.

4. Once the theme is uploaded to directory, just login to your blog via admin panel – got to appearances themes and select the theme you uploaded and click activate. Your new theme is installed on your blog.
