Ah! Thank you !

[AQthinker]

Worked perfectly.

There was a list of things my functions.php was missing.

Thanks, Ren

Hey Tim,

I am using the primary genesis theme. I'm attempting to build a dynamic one page layout which will be named engineered but the template hierarchy is not working. I'm not certain why.

Its being developed locally, so the is no link for it. But I've literally just installed genesis. Create a folder for the child theme. I've place the css header in the style.css file, I also added the code to start the engines for genesis in the functions.php. That's all I've done so far.

My next step was to simply create a front-page.php but its not registering. I'm still being directed to sample page.

Yes, Prephaps I should submit a ticket.

My menu follows this order:
1) Information
2) Custom feeds
3) Default Layout
4) Breadcrumbs
5) Comments and Traceback
6) Content Achieves
7) Blog Feed
8) Header and Footer Scripts

Hi,

I must have a different version. I'm using 2.1.2 and the fourth option down is Breadcrumbs.

Using the guide above you will learn the basic steps to adding a widget area in genesis.

You may want to change the location of the widget, this visual guide is an awesome resource.

Genesis Visual Hook Guide

Simply, changing line four of the sample function.php mentioned in the post above, to either of the options in the visual guide will hook the widget to a different area.

For example to add the widget right after the header, the code for line four would look like this
'name' => __( 'genesis_after_header', 'your-theme-slug' ),

I ended up having to get more creative because editing photos was a bit too time consuming for a solution.

Using the Inspector Element in Chrome, I was able to target the img css properties the 'Genesis Responsive Slider' style.css was applying.

I used this code in the childtheme's style.css to adjust the photo within the area:

.flexslider .slides img {
	margin: 0 155px;
}

Be sure to remember to adjust the picture back to its natural position after the content bar disappear using a responsive layout. Add this code to the appropriate media query:

.flexslider .slides img {
	margin: 0 0px;
}

In case anyone is wondering how I fixed this problem. I used the inspect element for my browser.

Target the following css areas:

1) .home-middle .widget:nth-of-type(?n+1) .home-top .widget:nth-of-type(?n+1)
( Replace the "?" with the number 4, this selectively picks the featured page aligned with the left margin)

2) .home-middle .widget, .home-top .widget areas. Here you would want to decrease width of each post to get the all the items to fit into the widget area.

3) You may need to play with the margin areas to get the alignment correct. I was able to use the outreach pro template for css help, which featured four post by default.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Using //www.diffchecker.com, I was able to find the problem. It was a simple misplaced comma after editing the css that prevented the style from taking effect.

Unfortunately, I don't have the site up live. Its being developed locally.

I do know that the computed value for the size is stoping short at 1020. Can you tell me where this value is being computed from? Which line of code?

[AQthinker]

Can you explain to how adding a widget area would help?

I know how to register and hook widgets. I just feel like I would still be in the same position however. If I was to drag four genesis featured post into the widget area.
