Adding primary sidebar to home, modern portfolio

[Elaine Griffin]

Hello,
I've put the genesis featured widgets in the about and portfolio sidebars to mimic a magazine-type layout, with a featured post and some recent posts after it. I still want the sidebar to show, though, and I'm not sure what to do to get it to display. I looked at the php files, and other than adding the sidebar to the home and functions files (which I tried to do, and it failed) I'm not sure what else to do.
Thanks for any help!

Look in your home.php and find this:

// Force content-sidebar layout setting
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

Add two slashes on the second line to change it to this:

// Force content-sidebar layout setting
		// add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

That will prevent the theme from forcing a full width layout on the homepage.

Thanks, Andrea. That worked, but for some reason my navigation disappeared.
I have decided to just go with a normal layout - I think I was over-thinking it, but it would be good for me to figure out why the nav disappeared.
