Okay, I figured it out. That top image in the theme is how it treats a Featured Image in full width and unboxed, but it doesn't show up when sidebars are used. Got it. (it was a late night!)

[dreamdancer]

I want to do the same thing, have most of the pages on the site use the same header, but I needed the thumbnail on the archives. Not using the featured image, but instead using the first attachment image gives me what I needed without changing any code. Thank you Brad!

[dreamdancer]

I have been looking all over for how to do this. Thanks so much!!!

[dreamdancer]

Thank you Victor! Was having trouble with the same thing. I would uncheck the author box for the user, save, but it didn't save it and the box was checked again.

I have a snippet for you, the margin below is coming off of the image and not the widget. This code is working for me, I use Espresso (for the Mac) it has a great ability to find the correct selectors, hopefully this will help

.after-header.widget-area #text-7 img {
margin-bottom: 0;
}

[dreamdancer]

I just did another test of the Sample theme and again if I add the image.php the attachment image is gone from the attachment page. I use Espresso to figure out my CSS, I can navigate a page and see all of the elements. When I don't use image.php in the theme I see the image with a class of img.attachment-medium. When I add image.php back into the theme the image.attachment-medium is gone, the p.attachment is gone and even div.entry-content is gone from the attachment page. All that is there is entry -meta, entry-title and this section - article.post-192.attachment.type-attachment.status-inherit.entry.has-post-thumbnail

This is driving me crazy, it is crucial for one of my projects to have custom attachment pages and I would rather not go backwards to the xml style themes and move forward to the html 5 themes.

[dreamdancer]

That is the code I am i tried first for the Attachment page. I do not get any image showing up in the Pro themes I am using if I use image.php or attachment.php.

@braddalton, I wish I could see the post you link, but I cannot afford $37 a month to do so!

[dreamdancer]

@Mayur, I use Genesis Simple Sidebars and I can confirm they would with Woocommerce categories and quite well!

Hi Helen, I thought I could send a private message, but this board doesn't do that. Here is a link to download my two custom files. https://files.secureserver.net/0sMQ2qknUJeuIg

There is the front-page.php with a few widget spots, and the functions.php that registers the sidebars.
here is some home page CSS also:

/* Home*/
.home-middle .featuredpost img {
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-right: 2rem;
}

.home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right {
width: 332px;
}

.home-bottom-left {
float: left;
}

.home-bottom-right {
float: right;
}

h2,
.home-top .entry-title {
font-size: 24px;
font-size: 2.4rem;
font-family: 'Lora', serif;
margin-left: 15px;
margin-right: 15px;
}

.home .entry-content {
margin-left: 15px;
margin-right: 15px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1268px)
.footer-widgets-1,
.footer-widgets-2,
.footer-widgets-3, .home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right,
.sidebar-primary {
width: 260px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1023px)
.home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right {
width: 332px;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 834px)
.home-bottom-left,
.home-bottom-right,
.five-sixths,
.four-sixths,
.one-fourth,
.one-half,
.one-sixth,
.one-third,
.three-fourths,
.three-sixths,
.two-fourths,
.two-sixths,
.two-thirds {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}

I used to edit the header.php and footer.php to add extra divs to my themes. It works, but I really wanted to do better, I spent hours in tutorials and here on the support board to learn how to add divs in function.php. I still have a couple of themes that I coded the old way and they are running the latest of everything, plus WooCommerce. So it isn't going to do any harm, however, I personally think it is best to do it right and code cleanly.

And I agree, it depends on what code in the header.php is getting changed and if your theme had it changed in the first place. Don't break what is fixed and all that.

I have WooCommerce on several very customized Genesis Child themes. I always make my child theme first, then install WooCommerce and Genesis Connect for WooCommerce, that will generally take care of most things. WooCommerce will add styling for buttons, main text, that is in the settings and it is easiest to set that sort of thing there. If I need more styling, I add the CSS styles from the WooCommerce stylesheet to my theme style sheet. You can also completely exchange the WooCommerce stylesheet for a custom one, but I rarely need to override everything, so I find it easier to just add styles that I want to change.

I am working on a widget home page for Going Green Pro as well. I took a copy of front-page.php (instead of home.php) from Lifestyle Pro, it works, I registered the widget areas in the functions file and my widgets are showing up.

However I get into problems if I try to rename the child theme info in the page.

such as - add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'going-green_home_genesis_meta' );
/**
* Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
*
*/

function going_green_home_genesis_meta() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-left' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-right' ) ) {

// Force content-sidebar layout setting
add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );

// Add going-green-pro-home body class
add_filter( 'body_class', 'going-green_body_class' );

// Remove the default Genesis loop
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

// Add homepage widgets
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'going-green_homepage_widgets' );

}
}

I get this error -
Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'going-green_home_genesis_meta' was given in /home/content/68/8481068/html/karson/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 429

I have tried it many, many ways and unless I have lifestyle instead of going-green, there is an error code and the widgets disappear. There must be some way to name this to match the theme, but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Would love some help.

Yes, it is impressive, I searched out other carts while waiting for the tech support to contact me about Paypal, nothing looked as good. I am really glad it all worked out.

[dreamdancer]

Hi Kent, yes!  I got the issues resolved. The tech support team were great to work with. I got Paypal standard working, it was an issue with having two carts, one was a test cart and the order ids were getting doubled even thought they were in different WordPress installs. In the PayPal settings there is a place to set an invoice prefix, setting that will allow unique invoice numbers to be sent to PayPal. Paypal wouldn't process invoices with the same number. So that cleared up that issue, and the tech team were very helpful in explaining how that worked.

I also set up PayPal pro with a paid plugin. I was having trouble with messages regarding an "insecure form" That is normal behavior though, so even though a secure certificate isn't necessary it is a good idea so that the insecure warnings don't come up. So we got secure certificates, but were still getting warnings. I had to put https:// in the return url in the settings at PayPal account. That fixed it. But again there wasn't a clear instruction about setting that up, the instructions had the url as http:// not https and it is a critical detail

But overall I am really pleased with Woocommerce.  If you get stuck on setting up PayPal, just post in this thread, I am subscribed to it so I can come back and answer questions.

[dreamdancer]

Hi Brad, we need to sell tangible products. I love Woo Commerce, but right now I can't get it to process PayPal, so it is useless. Broke after the latest upgrade.

[dreamdancer]

Hi, I have just upgraded to WooCommerce 2, and it is now not working with PayPal, I have support tickets in, but haven't heard back since they are swamped with tickets from the upgrade. My clients need working carts now, so I have come here looking for options.

Does Cart66 integrate well with Genesis? That is what I liked best about Woo. I can try it out, but really under the gun because of the upgrade issues, so any advice is most appreciated.

thanks!

[dreamdancer]

I totally agree, I have spent so much time on the forum and have learned a lot from other users. Would rather this be a part of My Studio press so that we can talk about the themes and ideas for them.
