Ever since Extender Pro was released there have been quite a few freelancers who’ve wanted to know if they could use it to customize a website and then deactivate/delete Extender Pro without losing their customizations. And until now the answer was always no, you have to keep Extender Pro active to retain your customizations. But now, with this 1.2.0 update, Extender Pro allows you to install/activate a simple “Extender Pro Export” Plugin on the site in question so you can then remove Extender Pro without losing your custom work that was done through the Extender Pro Plugin.

Genesis Dev Plugin Update Version 1.3.0 And New DevKit Themes

I’ve been all about WordPress Blocks lately as I’m convinced that this is the future of WordPress, especially once Full Site Editing finds its way into WP core. Blocks, blocks everywhere! 🙂 And as they are utilized more by the general WordPress community we are going to see some creative solutions to enhance our ability to build websites. So for now I’ve been updating our Genesis DevKit Plugin and building a couple of Genesis Child Themes with it. These Child Themes, DevKit Journal and DevKit Parallax, are based off of similarly named Premium Dynamik Skins. These two Themes are included with your active Genesis DevKit license and can be downloaded (once logged in) from the Genesis DevKit Pricing page.

And there are only two groups at this point: Those who get on board and those who find a new website platform. I’m definitely on board, I’m excited, and I look forward to being an asset to those using WP Blocks to fill out their online project pages.
