Thank you everyone for your help. Even deleting Genesis and Outreach Pro, and reinstalling and activating them, without putting in my custom code, the site keeps going to the white screen after a while. I'm thinking it is a plug in issue that is corrupting the code. I have turned this over to someone else to figure out.

I really appreciate all the tips and help!

I'll mark this thread as resolved.

Thanks Victor. That had been corrected - I just pulled up the old file when I posted it here. Good eyes though - and I sure appreciate your time!

[Becky Lundin]

Thanks coralseait - I'll check it out tomorrow. Appreciate your time.

[Becky Lundin]

Thanks Brad - I put the code for the extra widget areas back up and still getting white page with no error message. I'll have to play with it more tomorrow.

Appreciate everyone's time on this. 🙂

[Becky Lundin]

Thanks Coral Sea - good eyes! 🙂

I fixed that (I probably forgot to correct my old backup file on my computer when I was originally building the site), but when I loaded the corrected version I still get the white page of death.

This site, with that coding, worked perfect for months. http://mountrainierspa.com/

I can't figure out why it won't accept that code. I can leave the site as it is, but I had the custom widgets working fine before, and there is a sister site to this one with the same issue.

[Becky Lundin]

Thanks Brad. I changed it to "true", but not sure what to do next. How do I get the error and line number?

I am not a programmer, obviously. 😉

[Becky Lundin]

Victor - these are the theme functions.php that I added:

//* Register widget areas

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'extra-home-bottom',
	'name'        => __( 'Extra - Home - Bottom', 'custom' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the extra bottom section of the Home page.', 'custom' ),
) );

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'extra-home-bottom-1',
	'name'        => __( 'Extra - Home - Bottom - 1', 'custom' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the extra bottom section of the Home page.', 'custom' ),
) );

This is the entire coding for the front-page.php that gives it the white screen of death:

<?php
/**
 * This file adds the Home Page to the Outreach Pro Theme.
 *
 * @author StudioPress
 * @package Outreach Pro
 * @subpackage Customizations
 */

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'outreach_home_genesis_meta' );
/**
 * Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
 *
 */
function outreach_home_genesis_meta() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom' ) ) {

		//* Force full-width-content layout setting
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );
		
		//* Add outreach-pro-home body class
		add_filter( 'body_class', 'outreach_body_class' );
		
		//* Remove breadcrumbs
		remove_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'genesis_do_breadcrumbs' );

		//* Remove the default Genesis loop
		remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
		
		//* Add home top widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'outreach_home_top_widgets' );

		//* Add extra home bottom widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets', 1 );

		//* Add extra home bottom widgets 1
		add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets-1', 4 );
		
		//* Add home bottom widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', outreach_home_bottom_widgets', 3 );

	}

}

function outreach_body_class( $classes ) {

	$classes[] = 'outreach-pro-home';
	return $classes;
	
}

function outreach_home_top_widgets() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'home-top', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-top widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );
	
}

function outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'extra-home-bottom', array(
		'before' => '<div class="extra-home-bottom widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );
	
}

function outreach_home_bottom_widgets() {
	
	genesis_widget_area( 'home-bottom', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-bottom widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
		'after'  => '</div></div>',
	) );

}

function outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets_1() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'extra-home-bottom-1', array(
		'before' => '<div class="extra-home-bottom-1 widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );
	
}

genesis();

When I take the following code out, then the site works, but not the custom widgets of course:

//* Add extra home bottom widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets', 1 ); 

		//* Add extra home bottom widgets 1
		add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets-1', 4 );

Hi Victor. Thanks for the reply.

I should have added that yes, the widget areas are registered in functions.php. I did have to reload my file since as you noted they were overwritten when I updated Outreach Pro.

All of the coding is exactly the same, which is why I don't understand why it is not working.

Would it be helpful for me to list the functions.php code that I added here to be looked at?

Thanks again! 🙂

[Becky Lundin]

Hey Lauren you ROCK! 🙂 🙂 🙂

That worked perfectly!

Thank you so much. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Now I can get on with the rest of the site.

Hi Lauren. I don't know what I am supposed to add to the media queries or where within that section.

I can't show the site because I only have it live when I'm working on it. I'm building it behind an existing html site.

I added the following code to the Theme functions page:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'extra-home-bottom',
'name' => __( 'Extra - Home - Bottom', 'custom' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the extra bottom section of the Home page.', 'custom' ),
) );

I added this code to the front page php:

//* Add extra home bottom widgets
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets', 1 );

function outreach_extra_home_bottom_widgets() {

genesis_widget_area( 'extra-home-bottom', array(
'before' => '<div class="extra-home-bottom widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );

}

And this is the code I put in the style sheet:

.extra-home-bottom {
background-color: #D5D0CF;
padding-top: 20px;
}

.extra-home-bottom .widget {
width: 1140px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Any help greatly appreciated!

I got it figured out! Between these two sites I got it working the way I want.

Thanks to Brad Dalton for his site http://wpsites.net/web-design/outreach-pro-add-extra-home-page-widget/

and Davinder Singh Kainth for recommending this site http://www.basicwp.com/add-new-widget-genesis-homepage/ in another post.

Hi Eli. No, I can't share a link because I don't have the site live. I've decided to change themes, as some other components that my friend wanted just weren't going to work (at least easily for me) with Enterprise Pro. I think I'm going to change to Minimum Pro. I took some time off from working on it, I need to get back to it.

Thanks for the response, though. If I run into the same issue, I'll let you know, and maybe we can set up a time that I can leave the site live for you to look at.

Thank you Conny I didn't notice the "fade" button before. Do you know if there is a way to use specific images from the media library, and not pages or posts?

Thanks again!
Becky

[Becky Lundin]

Thanks Mayur. How do I configure it so that it it doesn't "slide" the images, but act like it does in Conny's website? How can I use just images, and not blog posts?

Thanks for your quick reply!
Becky

[Becky Lundin]

Conny I just looked at the site you were working on - sarahpowers.com/new. I've been trying to get the slideshow like you have on there. What did you use, or how did you code it? I'm working with Enterprise Pro, but I would imagine things would be similar. I want to be able to just use images, and not blog posts.

Thanks!
Becky

[Becky Lundin]

I switched themes from Prose to Lifestyle and back to Prose, just to see if that would help, and now it is showing the Lifestyle colors and no nav bar or header, although when I go into the dashboard, it shows my header image as being there. Argh! Time to take a break and walk away from this for awhile.

Hi Andrea. The problem is one of my plugins. When I deactivate them all, the site works fine. So I'm in the process of finding out which one isn't working properly. I thought they all were, but then the site started acting up again, so I'll have to do them one by one.

Thanks for all your ideas! 🙂
Becky

[Becky Lundin]

I deleted and uploaded a new copy of Prose, but it is still having the same issues of moving to the left. I really don't know what to do, or why it isn't going back to normal after reinstalling.

Any other thoughts? 🙂
Becky

[Becky Lundin]

Thanks Andrea. I will d/l a new copy of Prose, delete my old one off the server, and upload the new one (even though they are the same version).

My site worked fine prior to uploading the "fake" Prose theme, so I think something got corrupted.

I will have to do that later tonight, and I'll let you know if it worked or not.

Have a great day!
Becky

[Becky Lundin]

Hi Andrea. I hadn't thought of clearing the cache. I just did that, and it still moves to the left on my laptop screen. Does the same thing on my iPad, too. Forgot to mention that before. 🙂

Any other ideas? Must be something in the coding somewhere, I just don't know what to look for and where.
