Issues with Update to Genesis 3.1?

I'm having an issue with my Grind themed site at www.nbdental.com. First, WordPress isn't seeing that an update to Genesis is available and allowing me to update it. Second, when I manually replace the Genesis Theme folder via FTP with an updated version, it breaks the header/menu area at the top of the site. It reverts to a straight HTML menu. I'm thinking this issue pertains to Grind only because this is the only site I maintain (of many) that runs a that theme.

I've checked with my hosting provider and he's stumped as well.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks.

    It could be that they are checking to see if your theme is using some code they have removed from Genesis 3.1 to stop you from breaking your site by updating it would be my only guess.

    I'll get back to you about it after I dig into it but just stay on Genesis 3.0 until then.

    Hi Kent, we've released Grind 1.1.4 in the downloads area which should fix the header issues. The main files to update are style.css and /lib/init.php if you just need the files that changed in Grind.

    I don't know what could be causing the Genesis auto-update issue, I don't see anything in Grind that could cause that on our end anyway. Maybe after the manual update of Genesis this time that will start working moving forward though.

    Let me know how that works out!

    Mark,

    Thanks for the info. When I do a force update of Genesis, and replace those two new Grind files as you say, I am able to get the site to update/work. However, two things occur:

    1. The Grind header reverts to the Green background, even when the 'Blue' option is selected in the Theme Settings - I think I must have changed the CSS on this myself I'll have to check.

    2. More of an issue is, my sidebars are now showing up below the content area - see screenshot.

    Any thoughts you might have are appreciated. Thanks.

    Ok, try redownloading and replacing style.css again as I just updated it and the /styles folder this time too.
