Hi Brad.

I didn't get this resolved. Now that I am on vacation I hope to tackle it again soon.

I know the site link I gave doesn't work anymore, but with the code I provided, can you see what my problem might be?

[Carolyn]

I missed this yesterday. Thanks!

[Carolyn]

Probably VERY USEFUL. I'm in the beginning (hacking) stages so I'm trying to learn as much as possible.

Do you post much on G+?

I'll follow you there too if you do.

[Carolyn]

Great, thanks Brad. I've now subscribed to your feed. I'm sure I'll learn a lot!

[Carolyn]

Here's where I am
http://todd.carolyncreates.com/

I've got the Genesis Slider in, but have space between the subnav and slider. I've also tried to update the slider but it won't (another topic)

Should I change my code from above to the one you listed?

[Carolyn]

Okay, so I'm new to it and I added a slider the way I wrote, but I'd go with Brad's since he is probably more experienced.

Brad - what is your code? Maybe I should change mine.

[Carolyn]

Thanks, but then how come when I change it in the CSS, only the right side is increased?

[Carolyn]

Check that you aren't missing a semi-colon or something in the code.

[Carolyn]

Here's what I did.

I added a widget area just below the secondary navigation.
To the function.php I add the code

/** Register widget areas */
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'home-top',
'name' => __( 'Home Top', 'fabric' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the top section of the homepage', 'fabric' ),
) );

 

Then I created a home.php and added

<?php
/** Add home top widget area */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'home_top' );

function home_top() {
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top' );
}

genesis();

 

After that I went to Appearances > Widgets

and in my new widget area Saw there was an area called Home Top.
In that widget, I put the Genesis Responsive Slider.

[Carolyn]

Did you end up commenting out any of the functions before making that change?

[Carolyn]

Hmm, not sure what to suggest.

[Carolyn]

Those are widgets.

Go to Appearances > Widgets

[Carolyn]

Have you set a featured image when you set up a post?

I have the image in my post and on front page BUT NOT the big one...

See my test site

[Carolyn]

I can't access your link above, but I did remove the Featured Image above the post title by commenting out

/** Add custom field above post title */
/**add_action('genesis_before_post_title', 'fabric_post_image', 8 );
function fabric_post_image() {

if ( is_page() ) return;

if ( $image = genesis_get_image( 'format=url&size=featured' ) ) {
printf( '<a href="%s" rel="bookmark"><img class="post-photo" src="%s" alt="%s" /></a>', get_permalink(), $image, the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) );
}

}

In the functions file. Is that what you are looking for?

[Carolyn]

Thanks Brad. I did change the hooks, but to no avail. I'll keep trying.

[Carolyn]

Thanks Tom (and Susan)!

[Carolyn]

Thanks Susan, I searched but obviously not that well!

[Carolyn]

Thanks!

[Carolyn]

Hmmm, that doesn't seem to work. I have it set at 5 and 10 are showing.

[Carolyn]

THANK YOU! I have been toying around for over an hour in the functions file!
As a newbie, why did I have to comment out in home.php for it to work and not in functions.php?
