Hi, It's in maintenance mode, I will need to email you access privately, or? Thanks!

[micki]

yes, got rid of simple edits, works perfect, thanks

[micki]

i thought for anyone else who may have this issue, I read on the old forum that simple edits can conflict with snippets, such as the above, added to the functions file when trying to customize post meta.

thanks, i did install simple edits but it just makes me curious as to why these aren't working,  the first snippet is from StudioPress...

[micki]

yes the plugin works, so i guess this is resolved, though i still can't figure out why the snippets didn't work... guess no one else is curious :).

[micki]

got the first one from elektroelch.net

second (I think :)) - http://www.basicwp.com/edit-author-url-genesis-post-info/

there are a few examples when i typed in a search on google...

i have the simple edits installed, where i had modified the footer so did as you suggested, just trying to understand.

[micki]

ok, thanks for the suggestion and I am curious, why won't either of these work? I have added more then a few other snippets and all have worked.

thanks again! appreciated.

Ok, adding the if ( is_home() )... to the code i am working with worked great! Sorry if I highjacked this thread, i answered my own question, thanks for your input and help.

[micki]

I got the code from : http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/add-widgeted-sidebar

See, you can tell how novice I am at this stuff... seeing slider and magazine in the code doesn't make sense to me :).

I am using the MomPrenuer theme.

Thanks!

[micki]

oh and sorry, forgot to add, this is a different theme then Streamline.

[micki]

I probably need to clarify that I am not using it for a slider, I am using it for text only. I apologize for not being more specific. Here is what is working BUT it is on all pages and I only need it for the home page. Maybe I should have opened a new thread... thought it was along the same vein...

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id'        => 'before-posts-sidebar',
'name'      => 'Before Posts',
'description'   => 'This is a sidebar that goes before the posts in the #content.',
) );

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'child_before_posts_sidebar' );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the posts in the #content */
function child_before_posts_sidebar() {

echo '<div class="before-posts-sidebar">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'before-posts-sidebar' );
echo '</div>';

}

and I added what I think is the correct code for only the home page to:

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'child_before_posts_sidebar' );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the posts in the #content */
function child_before_posts_sidebar() {
if ( is_home() ) {

echo '<div class="before-posts-sidebar">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'before-posts-sidebar' );
echo '</div>';
}

}

Thank you for your help.

[micki]

Thank you! Just wanting to make sure I have this correct before I add it.

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'child_before_posts_sidebar' );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the posts in the #content */
function child_before_posts_sidebar() {
if ( is_home() ) {

echo '<div class="before-posts-sidebar">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'before-posts-sidebar' );
echo '</div>';
}

}

basically I am just adding the if ( is_home() )

[micki]

Hi, Following this and I am confused as to where I would put the conditional tags to have a widget before content be only on the home page.

Do I add it to this and how exactly? I am challenged this way :).

In child functions:

add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'child_before_posts_sidebar' );
/** Loads a new sidebar before the posts in the #content */
function child_before_posts_sidebar() {

echo '<div class="before-posts-sidebar">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'before-posts-sidebar' );
echo '</div>';

}

thanks for any help you can provide.
