Add Widget For(Horizontal Grid) Below Content on Genesis Front Page

[TonySan1]

Hello forum. I hope you all are doing well. My problem today is that I can't seem to get this widget code to display my widget area. What I want to display in this area is horizontal grid containing category blog post excerpts and images with link to the full blog post. Can you give me the best way to do this? Below is the code I am using now to create the widget Can you tell me where its wrong or if there is a better method for doing what I want to do on my front page? Thank you for your help and expertise.:
`genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'below-content-widget',
'name' => __( 'below content Widget', 'genesis' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the widget area below content on front page.', 'genesis' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_add_post_content' );
function genesis_add_post_content() {
if ( is_page('73') )
genesis_widget_area ('below_content_widget', array(
'before' => '<div class="below-content-widget"><div class="wrap">',
'after' => '</div></div>',
) );
}

I fixed the code I now have my widget where I want It. I'm still not sure that this is the best way to show a horizontal grid showing my blog posts excerpts, images and links to the full blog post. Any Ideas?

You didn't mention the theme. It makes a difference which hook to use. genesis_after_post_content is an old XHTML theme hook. If you are using HTML5, you should use genesis_entry_footer.

Hi Victor. Thank you so much for your advice. I am using the Generate Pro theme and I did change the older theme hook and my widget is displaying fine. I would however like to know if you know a good method of adding a horizontal grid to display blog posts excerpts with images and link to the full post? If you do please let me know about it. Thank you again. 😉
