Help with default layouts

[Mana193]

I have created all my themes on the Genesis framework, all my themes come with all 6 layouts. I would like to know if it is possible to set a default layout but still allowing users to change the layout?

It seems a bit of an odd request but it's only because I have a multisite and would prefer this setup if its possible.

Iv'e seen these code snippets in the tutorials where you can set the default layout:

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

however this forces the website to always use the layout and so users are unable to change it.

Any help appreciated

You're right, the code you're using is a way to FORCE a layout, often used for a specific page template or post type, etc.

If you want to just modify the default layout, or any Genesis default for that matter, you'll probably want to use the genesis_theme_settings_defaults filter. You can check out a good example from Bill Erickson here: http://www.billerickson.net/code/genesis-theme-settings/

You can give this a try:

It's untested, so I'm not 100% sure it will work, but it looks like it should.
