The homepage of the Genesis Sample theme demo has been built using several blocks. Some are default WordPress® blocks and some have been added through the Genesis Blocks plugin.1

One-Click Theme Setup
When you activate the theme, you’ll be given the option to install the starter pack of your choice. A starter pack is a bundle of content (like pages and menus) and plugins that will be automatically imported and set up for you. This feature makes it easy to duplicate the demo’s content so you can customize it for your site.
During this process, a new page named Homepage will be automatically created and assigned as the static homepage on your site. If you already have a static homepage assigned, your original page will not be overwritten, but it will be automatically unassigned as the static homepage.
If you don’t wish to use the one-click theme setup feature, you may use any blocks you’d like to build your own homepage.
See Import Sample Content (Optional) for details about using the one-click theme setup feature.
Important Note
- If you use the one-click theme setup feature to automatically set up your site and then edit the homepage to remove the first H1 Heading Block during customization, we highly recommend adding an H1 tag somewhere near the top of the page to keep the page accessible and SEO-friendly.
