List of plugins used in StudioPress themes

Which plugins do you need?

To find your theme, press ctrl + F on your keyboard. then type the name of your theme into the search box.


This is a list of the plugins used in the StudioPress theme demo sites…

We’re only dealing with themes designed by StudioPress. Not third party themes.

  • Genesis eNews Extended
  • Simple Social Icons
  • Genesis Portfolio Pro
  • Genesis Tabs
  • Genesis Simple Sidebars
  • Genesis Author Pro
  • Agent Press Listings
  • Genesis Responsive Slider
  • WP Instagram Widget
  • jquery Lightbox for Native Galleries
    This plugin has been retired in favour of the Jetpack Carousel module
  • Genesis Latest Tweets
    Genesis Latest Tweets has been adopted by new owners and is currently being re-coded.
  • Instagram Image Gallery
    This is a nice looking plugin but it hasn’t been updated for over two years. I recommend you use an alternative.

If you already have images in web pages or blog posts on your site I recommend you run this plugin…

  • Regenerate Thumbnails

The demo versions of these 3 sites do not use any plugins…

Altitude Pro

  • None

Ambiance Pro

  • None

Atmosphere Pro

  • None

Genesis Portfolio Pro plugin

Important Note! Since I made this list StudioPress have added Portfolio items to the demo content in many of their themes. If you would like a portfolio section in your demo site or your live web site, I recommend you install the Genesis Portfolio Pro plugin.

These demo sites use one, or both, of the two main plugins. Simple Social Icons and Genesis eNews Extended…

Agency Pro Theme

  • Simple Social Icons
  • Genesise eNews Extended

Cafe Pro

  • Genesis eNews Extended

Daily Dish Pro

  • Simple Social Icons
  • Genesis eNews Extended

Focus Pro

  • Genesis eNews Extended
  • Simple Social Icons

Generate Pro

  • Simple Social Icons
  • Genesis eNews Extended

Going Green Pro

  • Genesis eNews Extended
  • Simple Social Icons

Infinity Pro

  • eNews Extended
  • Simple Social Icons
  • WooCommerce
  • Genesis Connect for WooCommerce

Please note! This theme’s demo content includes a WooCommerce shop.
And the demo content uses a premium membership plugin. This is an expensive plugin and you are unlikely to have it.

You can set up your demo site using the Infinity Pro demo content including the WooCommerce content if you wish.

However, if you don’t need a WooCommerce site I would recommend just using the widget import file. Don’t use the Infinity Pro demo content. Make your own demo pages and posts.
