Problem of activating

The Dambuster plugin relies on the detection of Genesis.

It does this by checking if the Genesis is present using

public function is_genesis_present() {
		return substr(basename( TEMPLATEPATH ), 0,7) == 'genesis' ; //is genesis the current parent theme
	}

Other plugins such as Genesis Tabs use a similar method.

Is the reason to change the parent theme name folder from genesis to something else a security measure or a SEO obfuscation measure?

Possible Solution

I could add a filter to the return value of the is_genesis_present function so you could override it.

For example your theme code could then include the following:

add_filter('genesis_dambuster_genesis_check', '__return_true');

Would that work for you?
