How to deal with parent theme when migrating?

    Hello,

    I went through the migration process, including the find/replace of CSS and PHP, however I’m unclear about what to do if my theme is a child theme of the Genesis Framework as I think there are atomic block references in that, but WordPress always says not to edit the parent theme.

    I saw on your migration doc page that “Genesis Sample” is supposed to be updated to have genesis blocks replaced, but when looking through the Genesis parent theme on my site, I did still find ab and atomic references.

    The document link to “StudioPress theme update instructions” requires a StudioPress account which I don’t have – my theme was built by developers so I can’t seem to access the instructions for updating the Genesis theme, if that’s even what I’m supposed to do.

    This is the heading in the theme editor for the Genesis parent:

    /* # Genesis Framework
    Theme Name: Genesis
    Theme URI: https://my.studiopress.com/themes/genesis/
    Description: The industry standard for Premium WordPress Themes.
    Author: StudioPress
    Author URI: https://www.studiopress.com/
    Version: 3.3.3

    Thank you for your time.
