Awesome! Thank you.

I may have found the answer to my question in this plugin, which has the page behaving as I want:

Custom Background Extended

I'm using this plugin in Minimum Pro, which is an HTML 5 theme, and it's working fine after I created a widget area on the home page to put it in. Some people have customized the plugin and others have worked on the CSS. See:

Genesis Tabs Widget as featured post slider for one category?

Thanks for the reply but I am unable to read it. The FAQs seem to say that private replies are visible only to the poster and the moderators. Is there a way for users to communicate privately through the forum?

[lflier]

That would be fine. Thank you.

Yes!

In your original post, you're asking to do exactly what I want to do. I want the Genesis Tabs widget to display five posts from the category in each tab. Right now it displays only one. I'm guessing that another nested loop is needed in the code that outputs the posts but I'm a total noob at PHP and Genesis programming. Do you happen to have code for this as well?

[lflier]

It looks to me as though the widget is designed to display only one post in each category. The intended function seems to be similar to a slider, except that instead of having the posts cycle automatically, the user selects them via tabs.

This works fine as a slider replacement for a home page, but I would like to use the tabbed widget in a sidebar to display multiple posts from each category.

Looking at the code, it looks as though there needs to be another nested loop in the "Custom Loop" section that would output multiple posts. Has anyone tried to implement this?

Oh, yeah. And one more thing...

I included a background image in the ".site-header" class but not in the ".home .site-header" class. But having already put the background image in the former, it's not enough to not specify an image in the latter; you have to cancel out the property in the latter by specifying "background-image: none;"

This was a helpful discussion. I used Brad's CSS method for changing the background of the header on the home pages but it took me a while to understand that the order in which the statements appear in the CSS file is important.

Brad's method, which also appears here (http://wpsites.net/web-design/using-different-headers-on-different-pages-of-the-genesis-2-0-sample-theme/#comment-47723) is as follows:

.site-header {
background: #004A7F;
height: 164px;
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
}

.home .site-header {
background: #FF6A00;
height: 262px;
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
}

I initially made the mistake of writing the properties for the ".home .site-header" class above the properties for the ".site-header" class in my CSS file. This of course caused the CSS I wrote for the home page to be immediately overwritten by the CSS I had intended the other pages because the ".site-header" class appears in both sorts of pages. The right way to do it is the way it is shown above, with the properties for the ".home .site header" class appearing below the properties for the ".site-header" class in the CSS file. As long as no other conflicting ".site header" properties appear below it, you're good to go.

I had thought that the ".home" class wasn't picking out the home page. It was, but the properties for the site header had been overwritten. Duh! But that's how you learn I guess.

Thanks for the help, Brad!
