You guys are awesome. I just tried Thesis 2, and I can say that it looks much better than any of the earlier versions. Kudos to the entire team!

Just activated 2.0 and think I’ve figured out how to move content to new theme.
My question is that when I go to 2.0 site editor, I don’t get the red header with navbar like is shown in the videos, etc. I just get a list with no formatting like this. What did I do wrong?
Thanks! Sholom

Hi Chris,

Could you put that into techno-geek terms for those of us who understand both the tech side and the security side? I have no idea what you are trying to say… 😀

In all seriousness, I’m a computer security pro first and the ability to say “this is pretty darn secure” is important to my tribe and me, but short of doing a full-blown code audit and pen test against it (which is just below “root canal without an anesthetic” on my list of “pleasurable things”), I’d like to know a bit more detail about the security side of things (and yes, the above really doesn’t make sense to me. It’s OK if you want to call me “weird”…).

Thanks for any clarification you are willing and able to give.

Best regards,
Tom

Do you install 2.0 the same way as previous versions? changing file and folder permissions, and renaming customs folder?

In reply to neil. Yeah, or why not offer a choice of avatars like you can customize the Big Ass save button. There's plenty of room.

So I can just update to 2.0 without breaking my site or purchased child theme? Yay !!

If that’s a no then the migration path needs to be simpler …. can someone please advise?

In reply to theWebalyst.

Ok, I leaped and activated despite the blank live preview. Its ok, once you activate and click the green button (in the dashboard after activation) to install it. I have Thesis 2.0 running.

Other points still outstanding:
* There is no support on DIYThemes.com (no developer guide, no forums, no articles – just marketing and the feature videos)
(There is a early and useful 3rd party “review” here, esp. for those that don’t want to sit through all those videos (like me): http://www.famousbloggers.net/thesis-2-0-review.html)
* My pre-purchase questions (above) have not been answered.
* I have just two skins (Classic and Blank) to play with, NO boxes, and NO packages.
* I don’t have access to any of the numerous promised “bonuses”.

I’ve downloaded Thesis2.0 and installed it locally under a clean WordPress on Ampps.

The preview is blank so I have not activated it.
There is no support on DIYThemes.com (no guide, no forums, no articles – just marketing)
My pre-purchase questions (above) have not been answered.
🙁

Anyone else seen this “live preview is blank” situation with Thesis 2.0. Did you activate it, and if so what happened?

Why is the DIYthemes site broken? I can’t navigate anywhere. Where’s the support forum? Where are the “skins”?
