Hi everyone! A couple pf years back I saw a course with Zack on how to build a child theme using genesis framework. Now there are more courses on wordpress and i can't seem to find the right one. Can anyone help me out and tell me which one it is?
Thank you :)

I'm going through other courses in order to fix this. Really need to learn this skills fast to accommodate my client's needs in terms of developing a custom theme. But i have already made several websites using woocommerce. Did do some of the courses with Zack some years ago. Jus never got to make a custom theme with genesis.
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of the content that previously existed has been retired and no longer exists in the library, including the courses on Genesis themes.
Officially Treehouse no longer has a WordPress teacher although the PHP Teacher Alena Holligan did do a few workshops and courses towards the end of last year. As I understand it they're still teaching WordPress courses although there's no long term or short term roadmap for refreshing the content, some of which I have to say was at least 4 years old.
I'm going to cc in Alena Holligan and Ben Jakuben in case they have anything further to add. I know I personally would love to see the WordPress content continue but in the short term at least I don't think it's a priority at the moment.

Thank you so much for your answer. Really sorry to hear that. I have really been looking forward to doing that course because I have a client that needs a custom website and I really wanted to use genesis and was actually mid-way through Zac's course.
Is there any other course on treehouse for making a custom website? This needs to have e-commerce functionality as well as social media so I was hoping to use wp plugins....

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsItβs a little frustrating because one of the course that was retired was an ecommerce WordPress course with WooCommerce, which is a free extension for turning WordPress websites into sites that sell things.
I would recommend starting with that in your search.
