Hi Andrea,
I bought the plugin, but it won't display in the widget even setting shortcode display for widgets. Oh well, moving on, thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe I've missed the purpose here, but I'm trying to use custom post types to display video in a post list page. I have the video inserting into the post and the post is set to custom post type of video. Video shows up in single post page but doesn't show up in the post list page.
What am I missing???

I'm having the same issue, same code from SP tutorials added to functions file of minimum pro. See the post formats on in the dashboard admin for post, but nothing is showing up on the frontend of the site. Working locally also.

This should be plug and play simple?

Hi Jason,

Have you tried changing the embed size within Wistia? I use their videos and you can set the size of the embedded vid in the custom settings, then position it with CSS.

HI Andrea,

Yep, full URL and have tried it every way. Got me totally kerfuffled.

Hi Tom,
Many thanks for a great piece of code, works like a charm.
Just curious, is there a way to modify the white background color that is visible behind the scrolling images? The white shows at the bottom of images as they scroll to the top, like a page behind the images?
I've used all images sized same to 1600 x 1067 so the sizes are correct based on the theme setup info.
Thanks again for helping add the images to the even areas!

I used Sridhar's tutorial for the Genesis Responsive Slider also, but couldn't get it to work with other sliders, although it appears that others have used Soliloquy Slider successfully.

In Royal Slider and Layer Slider, two plugins I have used before, they allow you to add images and HTML to individual slides which also serve as links. Most of the plugins are slightly different so their tutorials would be a little varied also. Those two plugins are on CodeCanyon and aren't very expensive, I think $17 or $15. So maybe try a different slider that will allow you to have that effect?

Yeah I see what you mean.

I get

GENESIS DEMO">GENESIS DEMO on the front end with the second Genesis being red.

Honestly, I have no idea how to resolve the link issue. This is one of those simple things that isn't very simple 🙂

I want to move away from using an image logo for various reasons, but may not be able to accomplish design styling that I want without an image. Oh well.

Thanks again for the input. If you come up with something please let me know, and I will do the same.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Tony!

Thanks for the input. I'm puzzling through now.
I tried your function but it wouldn't return the site ( what I mean is that when I add the function in Coda the site won't display. If I comment the function out, displays fine.)

I went to Bill's site to try his original code, in this case I'm able to get it to work using his example of italicizing one of the site title words. In my example I have the site title set to Genesis Demo and have added Genesis to Bill's function and it displays as italics.

Here is Bill's original code which used "of" as the word change:

function be_customize_site_title($title, $inside, $wrap) {
$custom = str_replace("Genesis", "Genesis", $title);
return $custom;
}
add_filter('genesis_seo_title','be_customize_site_title', 10, 3);

I think the hiccup in this, and I'm not sure why, is the span class in your example seems to be the part that won't register.
I feel like I'm almost there with your help and it's much appreciated.

Any thoughts about the span class in the function.php?

By the way, looked at your site and you do very nice work!

Is it possible you could add this via HTML in the slider? I'm not sure if you want it to just overlay all the slides, or it could change and be different on each slide. The HTML link (text or image) is possible with a number of sliders I have used.

Also, the dev site mockup has a very nice full width slider that takes up the featured image area, what slider did you use for that? I've been trying to achieve something similar but haven't been able to get it to work correctly.

Hi Andrea,

As I mentioned, this is on a sandbox site, local so not able to URL to the site.

However, I think I've been able to resolve most of the issue, just trying to figure out how to add additional feature image sizes to the options in the Genesis Featured Posts and Pages widgets. The only setting coming up in the widget settings is for the WordPress 150x150.

Hi Donnie,
Yep, css changes everything!
An example would be the sections of the home page backgrounds: in this example the second widget area is one that doesn't have an image background and is white, now red.

.home-section-2 {
background-color: red;
}

The nav and footer elements are easily changed in the css.
Best of luck and have fun,
Mark

Hi,
You might have a look at this tutorial and see if it helps you:

Video background in Genesis using jQuery

I like the way you used the vimeo video and text side by side, also the slider in the section below... would you share how those are set up?

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Andrea,
Could you share a bit of wisdom about the CSS for this, it appears a little daunting at best. I've added the Genesis Featured Posts to the widget but can't seem to make the display show correctly, still displaying as single posts one after another. Working in a sandbox site, but haven't added anything to the theme that would change how the demo displays.

I am using the Parallax Pro theme and would like to have one of the non-image home page widget areas display a post grid. I've tried adding the Agency Pro grid into Parallax without success.

Having the same issues with substituting a slider other than a Genesis slider into the homepage widget areas, although Sridhar's tutorial works for the Genesis Responsive Slider.

My fallback would be a post grid page template that would link from the home page, but not my first choice since it adds a step for the viewer.

Thoughts and insights much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Ericka,
Looks like you figured it out. Could you share how? Also, is your nav the primary nav floated right?
Thanks,
Mark

I would like to be able to do this as well, but with Wistia and self-hosted videos on Amazon S3.
Any help out there?
Thanks!

Hi Davinder,

Can you explain a little more about using custom field to display the video as the post image in the blog page list? Also, how to implement that custom field?

Thanks,
Mark
