Agency Pro Home Page – featured Page images in home middle section

[mikemueller]

As in the demo, the "Home Middle" section of the Agency Pro theme works great for pulling the last 3, 6 or 9 Featured "Post" Images and showing the excerpt on hover. (using the Genesis Featured Post widget)

What if you wanted to do the same but with a number of Pages? How can you make that happen? The Genesis Featured Page widget is very different.

http://areweconnected.com/ has my last 3 posts as an example but would like to do the same with pages.

Hi Mike, I have a nifty little trick to do this. I wrote a blog about how to add pages and posts to the Genesis Responsive Slider, but the same principal would apply. Read this. Basically, create a Post category called "Home Pages". Write down the category ID number. Then create say, three new Posts with the same name as the Page you want to show up on the home page. Don't forget to add your Featured Image. In the Custom Redirect URI of each of he Posts - put the URL of the Page and Save. Now, to keep that blank Post from being added to the Archive, do this - 1) Grab the Category ID you wrote down for "Home Pages". 2) Go to Genesis > Theme Settings. 3) Scroll down to Blog Page Template and place that number in the box that says “Exclude the Following Category IDs” and Save. Go over to the widgets and add that Category called Home Pages to the widget area.
