Hi there, Davinder:

You said:

"use usual image embed code."

Do you mean, just the regular:

<img src="myphoto.jpg">

I don't have to put it in any special div or give it any other tags to make it responsive?

[anotherusername]

You're a Genius, Andrea!!!

[anotherusername]

Thanks for the help, Andrea:

It was actually in there, but when I put in the css, I typed in a comma after the different values and left off the semi colon, like this;

#home-welcome h4 {

margin: 25px, 0, 0, 0

}

Guess I was having a brain cramp (almost typed "brain crap" there... oh well... same thing I guess...)

[anotherusername]

Than you again, Tony!!!

Seems to be working well now. thank you! 🙂

[anotherusername]

Thank you so much, Tony!

That solved the problem.

Thanks again.

Ok, I'm an idiot...

Forgot that I had installed the widget context plugin and accidentally selected for it NOT to display the footer 1 widget on the home page... Doh!!!

That's what happens when you get "Plugin Fever"

Brad:

I am sorry, it looks like it might be something else causing the problem. I just removed that script you gave me and for some reason the problem remains, so I am guessing must be something else.

~~~~ IGNORE THIS PART OF POST BELOW THIS LINE FOR NOW ~~~~~~

Hi there, Brad:

Yes, I have added a bit of CSS code for the home page.

is there something SPECIFIC I should look for in the CSS that might interfere with it working correctly? (It's going to be a little hard for me to undo the CSS changes...)

~~~~

I do think that it probably is NOT related to CSS though, since the content of the first footer widget is not being echoed to the screen at all.

To explain what I mean, on pages OTHER than the home page, here is what is echoed to the screen (when viewing the source code):

<div id="footer-widgets" class="footer-widgets">
	<div class="wrap">
		<div class="footer-widgets-1 widget-area">
			<div id="text-5" class="widget widget_text">
				<div class="widget-wrap">
				<h4 class="widget-title widgettitle">Get A Free Tranquility MP3</h4>
					<div class="textwidget">Designed to help you find peace, this free Tranquility MP3 Recorded by Grace Jourbarne is yours for the asking.
					</div>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>

However, on the home page, this is what is echoed to the screen:

<div id="footer-widgets" class="footer-widgets">
	<div class="wrap">
		<div class="footer-widgets-1 widget-area">
		</div>

So you can see there is a closing </div> tag right after the opening <div class="footer-widgets-1 widget-area"> .

On the home page, the <div class="widget-wrap"> and the <div class="textwidget"> never even get echoed to the screen.

~~~~

Again, if you think for sure it is a CSS problem, it would be greatly appreciated if you had any guesses what exactly to look for in the CSS.

~~~~ END IGNORE TEXT AREA ~~~~~~

Hi again, Brad:

I just realized that on the Home page the first of the widgets in the footer widget area is NOT showing.

For instance, there is no "Get A Free Tranquility MP3" on the home page here:

Home

But there is one showing up on other pages:

http://www.graceplacewellness.ca/hypnotherapy-programs/

I still DO have the home page conditional (so that before_footer_widget function is ONLY being called on the home page.

When I look at the source code for where the first footer widget SHOULD be, it is only giving an empty div:

<div class="footer-widgets-1 widget-area"></div>

Any suggestions???

[anotherusername]

Hi there, antiac:

You can remove those lines or comment them out.

Wouldn't that remove the border / shadow from the #inner div on ALL pages???

I really only want to remove it JUST from the HOME page - NOT every page...

[anotherusername]

Thanks again for the assist!!!

[anotherusername]

Hi there, Brad:

Thanks so much for the code. It seems to do just what I want!!!

Just in case I decide I DO want to have that new widgetized area on ALL my pages, do I just need to remove the is_home conditional???

Do I just leave the rest the same and change the function before_footer_widget to:

function before_footer_widget() {
echo '<div class="before-footer">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'before-footer' );
echo '</div><!-- end #before-footer -->';
}

Or do I need to modify it some other way?

[anotherusername]

To maybe makes this easier:

What code would I need if I just wanted to move the genesis_before_footer hook so that it appears above the footer widgets?

Thanks.

(Not trying to bump, just that I was too late to edit my original post.)

Hi again, Robin:

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I really do appreciate them.

I will look into both the CSS and the Genesis Extender.

I guess I was just hoping there would be an easier way with simple hooks 🙁

Thanks again for all your help though. It is appreciated.

[anotherusername]

Hi there, Sridhar, and thanks for your help.

I will check out that widget.

~~~

It turns out that I simply forgot to change the screen options in the WP admin page to show the excerpts box.

I am an idiot.

[anotherusername]

Ok, is there anything that CAN be done with Genesis WITHOUT having to buy the genesis extender plugin???

I was kind of under the impression that genesis was supposed to make web development easier by itself.

I understand that not every plugin is going to be genesis ready. But I guess I was just kind of hoping genesis might have more built in functionality then it apparently does...

[anotherusername]

I just seem to have that same problem.

What worked for me was re-uploading the image through the "featured image" part of the post.

I went to the post I use for the slider

I clicked the Remove Feature Image

I then clicked the Set Featured Image

I then drag and dropped the image, and updated the post.

I can't guarantee this will work, but it seemed to work for me.

[anotherusername]

Thanks again, Robin, for the suggestions:

You said:

If responsiveness is not important...

Do you have a suggestion if responsive design IS important???

I would prefer to keep the site responsive if possible.

Thanks in advance.

[anotherusername]

Thank you, Robin:

What might be the easiest way to replicate the way they have done that?

I do have the genesis simple hooks plugin, and I have some code in my functions.php file that will allow me to run short code and php code from within widgets.

Would either of these be a good option?

[anotherusername]

Thanks for taking the time to reply, brand.

You said:

there are 2 widgets. Home top left and home top right.

I am not seeing those EXACT widgets in the genesis agency theme (which they SAY that site I linked to is using).

The widgets I have are only:

Header right
Primary Sidebar
Secondary Sidebar
Home Welcome
Home Slider
Home Left
Home Middle
Home Right
Footer 1
Footer 2
Footer 3

And that is all the widgets I have.

Do I need to use hooks to set this up? or do I need to use a different theme?

Thanks in advance.
