Genesis 2.0 Release Add Theme Support For HTML5

by Russell

Genesis 2.0 was released a few hours ago and all the Genesis child themes I had modified to HTML5 broke!!

Nightmare!

I had been using the following code to let Genesis core know that my child theme supported HTML5:

[php]
add_theme_support( ‘genesis-html5’ );
[/php]

For the live release of Genesis 2.0 I needed to make one small change.

Instead I used:

[php]
add_theme_support( ‘html5’ );
[/php]

With that tweak, rather than looking like a pile of dingo’s kidneys due to using Genesis using XHTML, Magazine on HTML5 now looks like this:

You can publish a site like this on your standard cPanel host in under 2 minutes using WP Whoosh.

Magazine is the first, however we will be updating all our Genesis premium and standard child themes to HTML5 over the next few days.

Let us know if you have a favorite and I will bump it up the list.

Next in line are our favorites: News, Agency, Outreach and Metro.
