Hi There,

Looking for some assistance with removing the home bottom section from the Manhattan theme

Thank you!!

You should be able to remove it by deleting the register_sidebar function for Home Bottom. I'm not sure if Manhattan puts it in home.php or functions.php - that's not a theme I've worked with much. Just be absolutely sure you make a backup of the original file before making changes; sometimes changing or removing functions can break your site if there's even a semicolon out of place.

If you aren't sure what to remove or need help, let me know and I'll look at the theme files.

Thanks Amanda! (wow, you've heard a lot from me the past few days huh?! LOL)

(edited to remove all the PHP code)

Just take out the part below. Please, please, don't neglect to make a clean copy of the file first and be ready with FTP or CPanel access. If the file breaks, the only way to get back into your dashboard is to replace the altered file with the original.

genesis_register_sidebar(array(
	'name'=>'Home Bottom Left',
	'id' => 'home-bottom-left',
	'description' => 'This is the bottom left section of the homepage.',
));
genesis_register_sidebar(array(
	'name'=>'Home Bottom Right',
	'id' => 'home-bottom-right',
	'description' => 'This is the bottom right section of the homepage.',
));

Hey Andrea...

I did that and now it looks like this

[nutsandbolts]

Look in your home.php and try removing the following (please copy and paste the entire file somewhere first in case this breaks something):

<div id="home-bottom">
		<div class="wrap">
		<div class="home-bottom-left">
			<?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Home Bottom Left')) : ?>
			<div class="widget">
				<h4><?php _e("Home Bottom Left", 'genesis'); ?></h4>
				<p><?php _e("This is a widgeted area which is called Home Bottom Left.", 'genesis'); ?></p>
			</div><!-- end .widget -->
			<?php endif; ?>
		</div><!-- end .home-bottom-left -->
		<div class="home-bottom-right">
			<?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Home Bottom Right')) : ?>
			<div class="widget">
				<h4><?php _e("Home Bottom Right", 'genesis'); ?></h4>
				<p><?php _e("This is a widgeted area which is called Home Bottom Right.", 'genesis'); ?></p>
			</div><!-- end .widget -->
			<?php endif; ?>
		</div><!-- end .home-bottom-right -->
		</div><!-- end .wrap -->
	</div><!-- end #home-bottom -->
