I would like to clone my current website's theme to a new website. I only want the Genesis framework and not the child theme that's linked to it. I also want to make sure I don't duplicate any content considering that can hurt your SEO.

Unfortunately Arn is right. Its a paid framework therefore theres no way to provide support for it, however I did find a link to their documentation for child their child theme support http://my.studiopress.com/docs/child-themes/ u can also use this with Arn's link. I cant see the documentation so i am unable to help any further.

Hello, Thanks for the question. You are unfortunately working with the third-party created Genesis framework, which is not free. It is not something for which we can provide support, but there are other resources that may provide you an answer. You may want to look at How to Add Child Theme options with the Genesis framework. Since the the child theme you're trying to copy is based on the Genesis framework, if you're trying to duplicate it, then you would have to use the Genesis framework. You would have to create a child theme and copy it to match the child theme that you're trying to match (as the child theme is the theme that is most likely being displayed). You also mentioned duplicate content issues. The biggest issue with duplicate content will be making sure that the links you're using are not affecting your search results. Check out this guide from Moz for a good guidelines for this particular topic: What is Duplicate Content?. I hope that helps to guide you to accomplish your objective. I do apologize that I can't give a direct answer. Third party (paid applications) are not always something for which we can provide support. You may need to consult with their technical support or documentation for further details. Kindest regards, Arnel C.
