Finally the wait is over. Thesis 2.0 has released. And now it is available to download worldwide. Those who have purchased this highly SEO friendly wordpress framework are lucky because it was available on discounted price before the launch and those who are reading this post are extremely lucky. You can download Thesis 2.0 for free. Below is the link ;)

Now you have thesis 2.0 ;) but I recommend or suggest all bloggers not to upgrade your blog to Thesis 2.0 stick to your current version because there are lots of compatibility issues and bugs. You can search on google for bugs and issues. But still thesis is best framework for the coding part and there is no doubt about it.
I recommend you to install this on one of your test blog if you are satisfied then install or upgrade it on your money blog.
If you have already installed Thesis 2.0 and your blog is not loading or getting errors. Then you need to follow the below instructions.
I have divided this tutorial into two parts
1-      Upgrading to Thesis 2.0
2-      Installing Thesis 2.0 for the first time

Thesis 2.0 Installing tutorial

First thing first you need a test blog to check how the new version of this framework works. You can register a free Dot.tk /Co.CC/.edu domain for free or if you has a useless domain then go for it. You can use free webhost to.
Ok. Enough now Upload theses 2.0 which you have download and activate it.
Now at the Top left side click on “Click to get started” if you get confuse see the below image for reference.

This is very unexpected from DIY Themes because they should have used Kick Ass button instead of “click to get started” link.
Now you will see a thesis 2.0 Installing page
Click “return to thesis” link

 That’s it you have successfully installed Thesis 2.0

Upgrading thesis 2.0

If you are using Simple Press Wordpress Plugin then deactivate it otherwise your theme will not load properly.
In response to a query about upgrading your blog to thesis 2 the developer Chiris said that

Install Thesis Legacy Plugin with Thesis 2 and deactivate all your plugin

So,
Step 1: Install the suggested plugin on which you want to upgrade your blog
Step 2: Upload and Active Thesis 2.0
If confused see the above tutorial
Now click on get started link.
If all steps have went fine theen your website has upgraded to thesis 2.
If you found any problem then switch back to your old version and wait till Diy themes announces the solution.

Suggestion

Rename your thesis v1.85 so that you can easily switch back in case of any technical bud
Always Keep backup before making any tweaks to your websites

From Experts Desk

The latest thesis 2.0 is quite different from its former version.  The structure, design, layout and coding and its backend it crowded with too many options.
You may need the support from DIY Themes. If you ask from me then I will recommend anyone to upgrade it is not the right time. Wait till the officials introduce some handy tutorials so that everything goes smoothly.
Thesis 2.0 is great theme. There are some bugs but they will resolve soon.

  6. I’m stuck on installing it on Godaddy.com. I saw some instructions for the old version of Thesis. However, when I try to follow those instructions for Thesis 1.85, it’s not even the same files. So when the instructions tell me which files to set permissions for, I can’t even find the files.
