Updated to Genesis 3.0 and the FRONT PAGE images disappeared!

The Theme Settings for Front Page image sections no longer seem to work.

Unclear on how the parent theme (Genesis) changed the Child Theme (Appfinite).

However, this is from Github on the changelog:

Removed Theme and SEO Settings page content. Customizer is now the canonical location for configuring these settings.
Removed support for all non-html5 output.
Removed 404.php template.
Removed page.php template.
Removed page_archive.php template.
Removed page_blog.php template.
Removed search.php template.
Removed single.php template.
Removed Adsense Auto Ads integration, with limited backward compatibility.
Removed integration with Google Plus.
Removed all styles from style.css.
Removed all functions deprecated prior to Genesis 2.0.0.
Removed compatibility with old and unknown breadcrumb plugins/functions.
Removed unused $backtotop variable and filter from footer output function.
Deprecated the genesis_nav_right() callback function.

It “removed all styles” from style.css… but should not this be the parent theme only?

Also they removed Theme and SEO Settings page content, so is the issue here?

To fix this, make sure the Theme name in the functions.php is exactly the same as the theme name inside the style.css.

For example: in functions.php make sure the name in this section –
```
//* Child theme (do not remove)
define( 'CHILD_THEME_NAME', 'Aspire Pro' )
```
….matches the theme name in style.css –
```
/*
	Theme Name: Aspire Pro
	Theme URI: http://appfinite.com/shop/aspire/
```
The theme name can be whatever you want, just make sure they match. I had Aspire in the functions file, and Aspire Theme in the style.css of a couple themes. They’re supposed to be the same.

I will go through and make sure they match up in all of my themes and release the update today.

Absolutely PERFECT and solved the issue. Thank you WES!!

There were numerous complaints all over on the Genesis FB page, and the Studio Press Community Forum..all with the same complaint.

I posted there the solution (I pasted your reply, if you don’t mind) to assist others.

Sad that they rolled out this without a clearer game plan. Yesterday I spend hours trying to find the error… and found a work around (directly pasting the URL in the style.css for the .front-page-1. However that did not restore functionality to the Customizer. Your fix has done that. Thanks again!!
