Freelance Child Theme By Studiopress
The Freelance child theme uses the Genesis framework by Studiopress. It is simple, yet elegant in its design and is perfect for those wanting style and simplicity.
It also has an excellent header design to show of your brand or logo, but if you don’t want to, the default font is eye-catching in itself.
The design comes in 6 layout options, giving you different sidebar and content combinations. For example you may want a full width page for a sales page, or you may want specific pages to have a left and right sidebar surrounding your main content or just one sidebar on the left or right.
This is the beauty of most of the themes on Genesis. Plus you have your threaded comments and featured image options.
If you have any questions relating to your new Freelance child theme, you can ask in the support forum or you can click the image below to automatically download a PDF “An Introductory Guide To The Genesis Framework”.
If you would like to purchase this theme you can do so here…”Freelance Theme” or I can customize the theme for you! Just ask me…
If you have any questions about this theme or would like me to answer any questions, just ask me in the comments below. I may be able to help you with your questions.
Susan, I installed the WordPress 3.5 on angelamccall domain. On Filezilla, I did this…
• I went to: wp-content
• Then chose: theme
• Transferred freelance theme from StudioPress on my computer
…but when I went to check on themes on angelamccall dashboard, I don’t see the “freelance theme” there. Where did it go? Am I missing something?
Hi Angela,
Yes, you have to install and activate the Genesis theme too. Once you do the Freelance child theme will show.
Okay, I figured it out how to install Genesis there. Have to install Genesis also in the theme section. But wow, this is so different from the image of that Freelance child theme. So that means I have to keep adding here?
LOL…yes, but it won’t take long and it will be beautiful.
So how do I add the menu on top such as: Home, Sample Page, Page Layouts, Page Templates, Contact Page. Okay, I just have to wait for your answers and figure this out myself while waiting for your answers. Sorry, I feel bad that I left 3 comments here already. Just want to get this thing going…
That’s fine! I was busy with a client but I am always happy to help!
The top navigation bar is a ‘custom menu’. Are you familiar with custom menus? That’s how you make your desired link choices. You will see in your dashboard, ‘Appearance’ – ‘Menus’. There you make your menus. I can help you if you are not sure what to do.
Once you have created your menus you can then add them to your theme! You go to the Genesis settings and check the box for primary and secondary navigations.
Try those few things and let me know how you go!
I’m still very confused. I installed Genesis & Freelance in the “theme” section of WordPress. You can check my blog there. It’s not together. I tried posting a photo in there? It’s not showing. So I’m not sure if Freelance should be IN Genesis folder.
You are going great!
The image is a ‘featured image’ which is displayed by dropping the Genesis Featured Page Widget to the Home Middle #1 section.
So if you have a special page for the front of your site, that is the ‘page’ you choose in the widget configurations.
For the image size choose the setting 580×275.
Then just repeat for Home Middle #2 and Home Middle #3 by dropping in a Featured Page Widget.
Once you have your site will start to look like the Freelance them shown in Studiopress.
I have the freelance them on my blog. I simply love it. However would like to know how to remove the bullet lists on the footer section.

Hi Paul,
In the CSS you will see some code like this:
list-style-type: square;
You need to change the footer unordered list to:
list-style-type: none;
In the footer there is no actual code for lists, so you may have to add extra code in the footer section.
I noticed that the list in question is the “Meta” widget. I always like to remove that from any website and just login using the address bar. (Your web address with /wp-login.php).
Another option you have if you are not happy making changes in the CSS is to use a ‘Text’ widget and make your list in html, without using the list code.
I just peaked to see how you went. Perfect!
