Can't find Slider settings in Genesis menu

[rcwatson]

I only have three submenu items in the Genesis menu. They are Theme Settings, SEO Settings, and Import/Export. I understand from this post that there should be a Slider Settings item there as well as a Simple Sidebars item.

I'm mainly just trying to get the CTA sidebar to appear to the right of the slider, but I also want to add more items to the slider. The tutorial post instructions didn't seem to work in that regard and I can't see how to add new slider items.

I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed. I had hoped to avoid a lot of code-level theme customizations. This seemed marketed as configurable mainly via the WordPress menus.

Just to clarify, have you installed the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin and the Genesis Simple Sidebars plugin and activated both of them? If they aren't installed, you won't have those submenu items under Genesis in your dashboard.

I've installed the Genesis Responsive Slider and Simple Sidebars plugins and they're both activated now. I see the submenu items now. But I'm not getting why even after I followed these directions I'm still not seeing the sidebar move to the right of the slider area.

It looks like your opt-in box is wider than the space available to the right of the slider.

I just tried changing it various widths via Chrome Inspector, expecting its responsive design framework to "pop" it into the slot to the right of the slider, but changing all widths to below the threshold for that did nothing.

Any other tips I can try? Getting sorta frustrated here. Shouldn't be this hard if it's truly a responsive design.

The forms section is inside the home-slider-widget area. It should be outside, then it would float next to the slider.

Thanks Emasai. That did the trick.
