## Description

This plugin hooks into the data sent to the Genesis API servers and lets us know
that you’d like to update to the latest version of Genesis, even if it’s still in
beta.

## Installation

 1. Upload the entire `genesis-beta-tester` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. DO NOT change the name of the `genesis-beta-tester` folder
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

## FAQ

### Can I use the beta tester plugin to update to the nightly builds?

Not just yet, but that feature is coming.

### I’m not seeing the update notification. What’s up?

If you activate the plugin and do not see the update notification, that likely means
that there is no beta release currently available. However, if you know there is
a beta update available, and still do not see the notification, try visiting the“
Dashboard -> Updates” screen and look for the update there.
