    Does anyone know the best way to display the secondary sidebar in place of the primary sidebar on the homepage?

    Need it to look like this:

    Is there a reason you're wanting to use the secondary sidebar instead of the primary sidebar? I presume you're using the primary sidebar for internal pages?

    You could use the Genesis Simple Sidebars plugin: http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/simple-sidebars

    Alternatively create a home.php template file in your theme directory and add the following code:

    remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
    add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar_alt' );

    You may also find this article from Bill Erickson helpful: http://www.billerickson.net/switch-genesis-sidebars/

    Because I needed to use both sidebars, no primary on home, but BOTH on inner pages, wanted to keep it clean. Either way i did find a solution. Thanks very much
