Genesis Sample Theme no index.php

[Alexanderleo]

Hello

I have this plugin installed on my website

When I want to activate it on my I need to insert a specific code in the wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php

But the Genesis Sample Theme does not have this index.php file under "Editor" in WordPress admin.

What do I do?

If you look at the WordPress Template Hierarchy, WordPress looks for home.php and then index.php so if your site includes a home.php file your plugin will use that.

Otherwise, WordPress will use the front-page.php file first if it exists.

Sounds like you need to edit a file and add some code for your plugin to work?

Hello

The plugin is this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-postratings/installation/

To install the plugin I need to find this in the index.php file: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

If I do this the post rating system will be everywhere. I can instead insert i in the post.php but I only have a style.css and functions.php

The problem is I only have these two files and missing all the others in my Genesis Sample Theme?

What pages do you want it to display on?

You can try this code in your functions.php file

add_action('genesis_entry_footer', 'gd_add_rating', 18);
function gd_add_rating(){
   if ( function_exists( 'the_ratings' ) ) { the_ratings(); }
}

if you want it just below the post/page content then you can try this hook

add_action('genesis_entry_content', 'gd_add_rating', 18);

Hey dude

It almost helped me. As you can see on this page the ratings is in the bottom of the post http://skoleanalyser.dk/det-ser-meget-almindeligt-ud-af-julia-butschkow-analyse/

But I want it ti be in the beginning like on my other site: http://alexanderleo.dk/forskellen-pa-en-almindelig-printer-og-en-fotoprinter/

[Genesis Developer]

Please remove the above hook and try this

add_action('genesis_entry_header', 'gd_add_rating', 8);

I know I'm very hard to satisfy but is it possible to get the ratings under the headline and my byline?

You can see how it is now: http://skoleanalyser.dk/det-ser-meget-almindeligt-ud-af-julia-butschkow-analyse/

And I want it like this http://alexanderleo.dk/forskellen-pa-en-almindelig-printer-og-en-fotoprinter/

Hello again

Is it possible to add some code so the ratings don't show on pages but only on post?

[Genesis Developer]

Replace the current function by this one

function gd_add_rating(){
   if ( function_exists( 'the_ratings' ) && is_singular('post') ) { the_ratings(); }
}

See Codex about is_singular() http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_singular
