SEO Themes Core will be shown in the list of recommended plugins when you activate any one of our themes and run through the Genesis <a href="https://studiopress.github.io/genesis/theme-setup/" rel="nofollow ugc">One Click Theme Setup</a> process.
Upon activation, this plugin works out which theme is currently active and provides the specific functionality for that theme. Some of that functionality includes:
<ul>
<li>Customizer settings</li>
<li>Handy shortcodes</li>
<li>Hero section</li>
<li>Widget areas</li>
<li>WooCommerce compatibility</li>
<li>Shared CSS and JS</li>
<li>Repositioning of Genesis hooks</li>
<li>Useful helper functions</li>
<li>Loading Google Fonts</li>
</ul>
This plugin was created as a way to keep your child themes up to date with the latest features, security fixes and bug fixes. By shifting the majority of code out of the child theme and into a plugin, we are able to provide automatic updates without overwriting customizations made to your child theme.

While the plugin will work on the HTML5 “Pro” themes, the HTML markup only supports the older XHTML themes at this time. It is not recommended for use on the new HTML5 themes.
Thanks to David Decker, this plugin is translation ready. German translation files included.
