    Is it possible? I want to add in a slider in place of the featured image on my home page blog post.

    I want to use the Genesis Responsive Slider.

    I added in the following to my functions.php page:

    //* Register after post widget area
    genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    	'id'          => 'featured',
    	'name'        => __( 'Featured', 'your-theme-slug' ),
    	'description' => __( 'This is the featured section.', 'your-theme-slug' ),
    ) );
    
    //* Hook genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap
    add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'sk_add_featured_section' );
    function sk_add_featured_section() {
    
    	if ( ! ( is_page_template('page_blog.php' ) || is_singular('post') ) )
    		return;
    
    	genesis_widget_area( 'featured', array(
    		'before'=> '<div class="featured widget-area">',
    		'after'	=> '</div>',
    	) );
    
    }

    In my widgets area, I then see Featured. I placed the Genesis Responder slider widget in there. in my slider settings, I selected Posts, then included the post ids. But still, the slider does not display on the home page.

    Why is this so difficult??? I simply want to add a Genesis slider to a Studio Press theme on the home. This stuff should be more simple than this!!!

    Hi seozones,

    Did you ever get a fix for this? Would like to do a similar thing on a site of mine!

    Cheers!
