Found the answer on the same page, and it works!

Add Widget After Header On Home or Front Page in Genesis

Thank you again!

[faith]

Thank you Brad! It works! BUT I only want the image on the Latest Posts Home Page, not the single post pages. How do I change the following code?

//* Add new widget after header for image
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'custom-widget',
'name' => __( 'Custom Widget', 'genesis' ),
'description' => __( 'Custom Widget Area', 'childtheme' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'add_genesis_widget_area' );
function add_genesis_widget_area() {
genesis_widget_area( 'custom-widget', array(
'before' => '<div class="custom-widget widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
}

[faith]

Ha! That was it! I knew it had to be something simple. And I added the id to that menu so it wouldn't center the main menu.

#menu-header-right-custom-menu.genesis-nav-menu .menu-item {
display: inline-block;
}

Thank you soooo much Christoph for taking the time to help me!!!

Hi txgspice! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. To get the Featured Post widget to appear just beneath the signup form on the right, inside of the About widget, I used absolute positioning:

#about #featured-post-3 {
position: absolute !important;
right:9px;
top:400px;
width:300px;
}

How could I have missed that?! Thank you so much! No wonder.

Question: Do I leave the "Homepage Robots Meta Tags" section unchecked or checked? Not sure what to do with the Robots Meta Settings either. What do most people do?

[faith]

See http://www.karenmodelightfield.com/. I think the problem is that the text that tells what the site is about, is written in the Welcome widget and not in a Home page (even though it's one long home page.) How can I fix this? And regardless, the Tagline should display next to the domain name in the search results.

Thank you!

Thank you again Brad! I followed the directions in the video on http://www.carriedils.com/genesis-enews-extended-mailchimp/ . When I used the eNews Extended plugin, it messed up the spacing though. Instead, I copied and pasted all of the code in MailChimp into the <div class="one-third"> column of the text widget, and that did the trick!

[faith]

Thanks Brad! I went the Jetpack route, but in order to add the Jetpack Contact Form to the sidebar widget instead of a page, I followed the directions on http://www.createmarketgrow.com/create-a-wordpress-contact-form-for-your-sidebar-or-footer/ and it worked!
Thank you!

[faith]

Thank you Braddalton! I will start a new post for the other two.

Hi essaysnark, thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, in the theme settings, there's only an option for "Enable Extras on Right Side". If I check that, then the drop down only offers 4 choices: Search form, Today's date, RSS Feed Links, Twitter Link. I don't have an option for extras on the left side of the menu, and don't know how to code that. I also read the post of the link you gave me, installed the Simple Edits plugin, but I don't know what to do.  I would be able to do all of this in pure HTML and CSS with no problem, and I don't know why I'm having such a difficult time trying to figure this out in WordPress.

[faith]

Thank you for explaining that!

[faith]

Can someone PLEASE help me with this?

[faith]

I did find the answer to the first question - to remove that entire section of code that begins with add_action('genesis_before_post', 'mindstream_remove_elements')

I still need help with how to move the author, date and comments # to the left of the post just beneath the post format icon.

Thanks

[faith]

By the way, how do I get the Title, Author, Date, and Tags to display, along with a Read More option, for each post on the main category blog page, like on http://blog.freepeople.com/inspiration/ ?  Then when someone goes to the actual post page, the whole entire post displays.

[faith]

They made a plugin for that too? How cool is that! Thank you!

[faith]

weslinda, that did it!  And it's working just like the demo now!  It makes sense, but I was following the directions on how to create a "Category Blog Page" tutorial, which got me off track I guess.

You made my day! Thank you soo much for your help!

[faith]

Hi weslinda,

I did set the Theme Settings to display post content and that worked. Thanks!   However, I want the Category Blog page to look like it does in the Mindstream demo - see http://demo.studiopress.com/mindstream/, where the post format icon is showing next to each post, and when you click on the icon, it takes you to the actual post.   I set my Category Blog page up according to the tutorial http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/category-blog-page/ and created two example posts in both categories. Did I miss something?  Here's the link to my site: http://www.goldpagewarriors.com/

Thanks Dave, but before the positioning part, how do I get the primary and secondary navigation to be enabled - to reappear. In the documentation for this theme, it says they are disabled, and when I check the Theme Settings, there are no check boxes for "Include Primary Navigation Menu" and "Include Secondary Navigation Menu".

Would it be easier to create 2 new Custom Menu widgets to create the Primary and Secondary Navigation in this theme (which I'd have to figure out how to do)?

[faith]

Thanks for all of the great suggestions!  I've been offering to do WordPress (Genesis) sites for nothing on Elance, (where there are tons of opportunities) and no takers yet.  People would rather spend their money on someone with the experience, than get a free website done by someone who is new at WordPress, even if they have a great work history like myself. I'm not giving up though. 🙂        In the meantime, I'm designing and coding some html emails for a client.
