<p>This is Andrés from the Aragon chapter. </p>
<p>Our site was looking perfect until we had to update PHP and the
theme to the new version. That’s when everything went haywire, and
we’ve had to start from scratch again. We’re working on it. </p>

responsible for the websites),</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="HwtZe" lang="en"><span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"><span
class="ryNqvb"><i>I'm not sure if this is the right place
to bring up this topic. On the other hand, websites are
an important part of our public relations, and we at
ISOC.DE don't seem to be the only ones having issues. If
you have an answer but don't want to leave it here, feel
free to send me a private email at <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="mailto:Klaus.Birkenbihl@ISOC.DE"
moz-do-not-send="true">Klaus.Birkenbihl@ISOC.DE</a>.</i></span></span></span></p>
<h3>Initial Situation:</h3>
<p class="moz-signature" cols="0">After several attempts in recent
years, ISOC.DE has decided to seriously undertake the relaunch
of its website. After all, ISOC is providing support and
guidelines for the relaunch in the form of the "Genesis child
theme for Internet Society chapters". This should make switching
a WordPress site by changing the theme manageable with
reasonable effort.<br>
</p>
<h3>Expectations:</h3>
<p class="moz-signature" cols="0">Besides all the dazzling, great
features that make a theme attractive, there are a few basic
requirements:<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>The most important components of a WordPress blog—posts and
pages—should be recognizably displayed,</li>
<li>There should be acceptable default styles for frequently
used elements such as forms (form controls) or tables,</li>
<li>The remaining elements (menus, sidebars, categories,
archives, etc.) should be easily customizable via CSS and, if
necessary, a few scripts.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Experience:</h3>
<p class="moz-signature" cols="0">So far expectations 1 and 2 were
a disaster. After just installing the theme, the site looks like
this: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.isoc-german-chapter.de/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.isoc-german-chapter.de/</a>.
(Before: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.isoc.de/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.isoc.de/</a>). <span
class="HwtZe" lang="en"><span class="jCAhz ChMk0b"><span
class="ryNqvb">Apparently</span></span></span>, even the
structure hasn't been preserved. Forms and tables are displayed
unusably. Well, maybe we just make dumb mistakes and don't get
the glue.</p>
<h3>Learn from the winners:</h3>
<p class="moz-signature" cols="0">We thought we simply should take
a look at how others managed it. So I investigated: who is using
the theme? I examined 114 chapter sites (source: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/#find-your-chapter"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.internetsociety.org/chapters/#find-your-chapter</a>).
Of 93 sites I could access, 5 are using the theme. Of these 5
sites, 3 look kind of successful. Congratulations to <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://isoc.nl/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://isoc.nl/</a>, <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.isoc.cat/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.isoc.cat/</a>, and <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://isoc-ontario.org/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://isoc-ontario.org/</a>. <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://isoc.mk/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://isoc.mk/</a> seems to be under
construction without existing content. (Fun fact: <a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.isoc-aragon.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.isoc-aragon.org/</a>
looks pretty much like <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.isoc-german-chapter.de/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.isoc-german-chapter.de/</a>). </p>
<p class="moz-signature" cols="0">So 3-5 out of 93 Chapter
websites use the Theme? Doesn't sound too encouraging. Were my
investigations wrong?</p>
<h3>Open questions:</h3>
<ul>
<li class="moz-signature" cols="0">Did I miss a Website using
the "Genesis child theme for Internet Society chapters"? Which
one?</li>
<li class="moz-signature" cols="0">Who tried using the theme but
then gave up? If so—why did you give up?</li>
<li class="moz-signature" cols="0">To those who are successful:</li>
<ul>
<li class="moz-signature" cols="0">Would you recommend using
the theme (migrating a lot of existing content)?</li>
<li class="moz-signature" cols="0">Do you have any tips or
tricks on how to affordably switch a regular WordPress site
with traditional structure (chronological posts, pages,
menus, some forms, categories, archives, etc..,) to this
theme?</li>
</ul>
</ul>
