    Morning all,

    I am using the legacy them with the Genesis Responsive Slider.

    Can anyone tell me whether there is a way to add sidebars to the home page and if so how this could be done. I am looking to keep the slider but underneath still have the widget areas, maybe make them smaller but add sidebars too.

    Thanks for reading.

    Hi Brad, thanks for your reply.

    I have added the Genesis Layout Extras plugin. What I am trying to do is either have the sidebars start right under the slider rather than below the post excerpts. Is it posssible to then have the post excerpts above each other rather than side by side ??

    You mean the widgets are the slider?

    Under the header there is the slider area, and below the slider you get the 3 post excepts left to right (In widgets). is it possible to get side bars either side of the post excepts which yes are in widgets ??

    If not and I use a static home page and add something like next gen slider to the static page can I have this at full width with the sidebar-content-sidebar starting directly underneath ??

    You could try the Genesis Layout Extras plugin.

    Pretty much anything is possible if you hand code it as well.

    I am having several problems with Legacy 1.3

    1. Can't get rid of text header
    2. theme colors not showing
    3. home bottom widgets not lining up

    It worked fine in the previous version. Now its wacky!
