    I’m completely lost with this theme. I admit it’s my first time with Genesis fw but, wow, it’s absolutely confused and I hope this will be the last time I use it.

    Now, how can I create a child theme of Epik to do my customisation? I wanna have my style.css and functions.php file on my own child theme.

    And why it complains it can’t find header.png? WTF…

    I’m not sure where you’re lost exactly, but all you would need to do is add a widget to a widget area and it shows up on the homepage (here’s a guide – https://appfinite.com/topic/epik-widgets-guide/).

    There are code snippets and tutorials at the top of this forum – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ (Yellow Sticky Posts) which explains exactly how the demo was made. Use text widgets if you want to add custom code, text, etc.

    As far as separating your custom code, you could either create a new style.css and functions file and link to them from the main style.css and functions file…..or you could just add your custom code at the bottom of either of those files to keep it separate and organized.

    The child theme itself doesn’t add a header.png file, but WordPress/Genesis does. You should be able to remove it by clicking the Remove option in your header uploader then reupload your logo if you plan to use one.

    Sorry but I can’t understand how to change the copyright part of the footer. I don’t think there is a widget for that.

    StudioPress has the documentation for the Genesis Framework on their site here – http://my.studiopress.com/

    If you look at the snippets page you’ll see the code for the footer area – http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/footer/#custom-footer …that’s what you can use to edit the footer.
