Minimum Theme: Email Opt-in Homepage

[firstname_galo]

I'm currently using the minimum theme and would like to replace the sample picture on the homepage for an email optin with a picture ( like the one on http://www.thechangeblog.com/ ) Any ideas how I would go about doing this?

My site is http://www.themovementproject.net

Thanks brad. I just tried this and it shows the optin underneath the image of the homepage. Isn't there a way to get it so that it completely replaces the image header so that it looks like the one on http://www.thechangeblog.com.

The link you have provided to your site is returning a 404 page not found error message.

Please paste a text link to your site.

Remove this code from your child themes functions.php file or comment it out:

/** Add the featured image section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
	if ( is_home() ) {
		echo '<div id="featured-image"><img src="'. get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/sample.jpg" /></div>';
	}
	elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
		echo '<div id="featured-image">';
		echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'header');
		echo '</div>';
	}
}

Commented out:

/** Comment This Function Out 
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
	if ( is_home() ) {
		echo '<div id="featured-image"><img src="'. get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/sample.jpg" /></div>';
	}
	elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
		echo '<div id="featured-image">';
		echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'header');
		echo '</div>';
	}
}
**/

This code is executing a function on the same hook the feature box code uses.

Brad,

The perfect example of what I'm shooting for is  on here http://genesis.extenderplugin.com/

Instead of video, a picture

Very easy to do that:

You can use content columns and create that feature box in your editor.

You might need to install a shortcodes plugin so you can use the tick images in your list.

Then paste the code into a text widget.

So I'm trying to work with the columns but can't seem to get it. Do I have to create a separate featured box so that one aligns left and the other aligns right?

[Brad Dalton]

I wrote about this recently.

You can find a plugin which adds 2/3 and 1/3 columns.
