StudioPress Genesis Framework How to upgrade to Genesis 3.3

Existing Genesis users running WordPress 5.0+, PHP 5.6+, and using an HTML5 child theme will see an update prompt in the WordPress admin area. Click “update now” to update your Genesis site:

If the update prompt is missing, check that you are running WordPress 5.0+, PHP 5.6+, are using a Genesis HTML5 child theme, and have enabled update notifications at Genesis → Theme Settings → Updates.

Download and update Genesis parent theme translations

If your WordPress site uses a non-U.S. English site language at Settings → General, WordPress will now prompt you if Genesis parent theme translations are available for installed languages.

To download Genesis translations after updating to version 3.3:

1. Check your language is listed and has translations in the list of Genesis language packs.
2. Disable the Genesis Translations pluginif it’s currently active on your site. We’re grateful to Remkus de Vries for maintaining this plugin and for his help with the language features in Genesis 3.3.
3. Check for language pack updates at Dashboard → Updates. If you do not see language pack updates, switch your site language to U.S. English at Settings → General, save changes, then switch back to your own language and check for language updates again.
4. Install available language packs when prompted by clicking the button on the Updates page.

StudioPress Genesis Framework Accessibility improvements

Genesis 3.3 continues our commitment to accessible WordPress sites with three accessibility fixes:

• Author box titles on author archives now use h2 instead of h4 to prevent heading levels from jumping.
• “Reader Interactions” screenreader text no longer appears below content if there are no comments, comment form, or trackbacks on the page.
• We moved the role=”navigation” attribute from the list element to the wrapper element on pagination navigation for improved screenreader support.
