In reply to: [Genesis Latest Tweets] Down on all sitesI completely agree with you Marc, but just want to make sure there’s a delineation here between StudioPress, and the plugin developer Travis. He’s an incredibly talented guy, and is working hard (just got back from vacation) to get this plugin updated.

In reply to: [Genesis Latest Tweets] Down on all sitesFirst off, the code that was used in the plugin by Travis was lifted directly from Genesis. It’s the same code/functionality, along with a few things he added since he took it over. Second of all, the issues at hand have nothing to do with the latest version of WordPress — they have to do with the API change that Twitter implemented recently.

In reply to: [Genesis Latest Tweets] Down on all sitesI chatted with Travis last night and he was working on this. He was hoping to finish it up and test it today, with a potential release tomorrow.

In reply to: [Genesis Latest Tweets] Down on all sitesTravis Smith (plugin dev) says he’s hoping to have an update pushed out today. In the meantime, feel free to remove the Genesis Latest Tweets widget from your sidebar for now, just so it’s not showing the bad link.

In reply to: [Genesis Latest Tweets] Down on all sitesJust a follow up on this, our team is taking the plugin and updating it with the latest Twitter API, and we’ll hopefully be pushing out something this afternoon. We will drop a link to the new plugin once it’s available for you to download and install.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Using !important in cssWe used important because we needed to override any styling that might be happening in containers such as #sidebar, etc.

In reply to: [Genesis eNews Extended] Aweber "Required Fields are Missing"I’m kind of baffled as to why you would call this a dirty trick? Brandon created the plugin because there was a need for folks who wanted to use it outside of Feedburner. We recognized the hard work he put it into it and asked him if he planned on continued development and support of the plugin he created. When he said yes, we chose to deprecate the eNews and Update plugin that we had in Genesis, and told him we’d be recommending all of our users to use his plugin since it was so well built.
We never “touted” it as our “nearly official solution”, and we were very transparent in our announcement post of the plugin.
I would like to think that Brandon’s web traffic and his freelance business has increased as a result of the additional exposure he’s gotten.
Not sure what makes this dirty.

In reply to: GPL Themes for Money do i understand the GPL right?For what it’s worth, the GPL doesn’t require us to provide a download link. StudioPress and the Genesis Framework is covered by trademark, and our CEO practiced law.
Just saying.

In reply to: GPL Themes for Money do i understand the GPL right?The bottom line is do whatever you want.
Our business model won’t change, and we’ll continue to supply quality themes to folks at (very) affordable prices to people who value their business.
Putting all of our themes on your site might get you a few hits of traffic and will continue to confuse users. Neither of which are beneficial the community as a whole, and definitely not the “spirit” of the GPL.

In reply to: GPL Themes for Money do i understand the GPL right?not one word about GPL. i dont call that trasparent marketing (dont know if this exists in english i am german)
Every single theme of ours is noted at the top of the stylesheet:
License: GNU General Public License v2.0 (or later)
License URI: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.phpAlso…
and @studiopress: when your prices where not that overkill and your site more transparent about GPL and that your themes are released and free to legal to copy and not steal i would maybe have another approach to this.
Maybe you should consider a different business model. Putting themes on your site enables the fear that people are getting encrypted versions. They are also completely unsupported by us – which also causes a bad user experience.
if you feel good about doing that, so be it.
Or you can become an affiliate of ours, and encourage others to purchase and make some pretty good money along the way.

In reply to: GPL Themes for Money do i understand the GPL right?I’m not going to go into all of the GPL matters, but what I will say is that folks who use our themes and have business models that work alongside our company get a ton of promotion by us.
Those who respect the time we put into developing Genesis and teaching the community of users and developers are allowed to sell themes on our marketplace, get listed as recommended developers and so on.
These people are making $xx,xxx and some $xxx,xxx from the leads, traffic and theme sales we send them.
I’m guessing that putting our themes on your site will come no where close to that type of financial benefit.
Just saying.
