Can't find post title Genesis shortcode – alternative?

[dominikareis]

Hello,

The blog is dominika.co and the problem can be seen here: http://dominika.co/2016/03/asos-shopping/

I have added a widget area below menu that has a featured image as the background. I am trying to do the trick and I want to remove the post date and title appearing BELOW the image and place post date and title ON THE background instead.

What I did:
I added post-date shortcode into the widget area so the post date now displays on the background, in the widget area as I wanted however I cannot find the shortcode for post title therefore I am unable to add it as a textwidget with shortcode on this background.

Any idea what alternative I could use for post title shortcode?

Any help much appreciated

Not sure if this is the best coding advice BUT you can always do the below

.features-widgetarea {
padding: 2%;
float: right;
border-radius: 12px;
background-color: #fff;
color: #333;
font-size: 10px;
display: none;
}

Just do a display none and that little widget box goes away.

Genesis doesn't have a shortcode for displaying a post title. You need to use the WordPress function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_title/

Why wouldn't you just use the featured post widget and display only the title and post data? It would be a lot easier.

You could create a shortcode for the post title.

hello Victor, thank you for taking time to answer but I do not want to display Featured Post above post content. I want to display full width featured image that has post title and post date on the top of it.

thanks for taking time to respond but I do not want to get rid of the widgdet

As an FYI, the featured post widget has a setting to display no content, just the title and entry meta which is what you want. I don't know why you want to reinvent the wheel.

This is not what I was trying to achieve Victor. I wanted the action to appear on single post page. I wanted Featured image of the post currently open to appear full width above content with post date and title ON IT.

There's a fair amount of work involved in doing that. I spent several hours working out these 2 solutions.
