Hey Brad,

Andrea actually assisted me last night and we got it taken care of. She was AWESOME!

Ya know, after searching around for hours, it seems that there is a lot of information on how to add the widgets to the older themes, but there is limited info on how to do it with all the new HTML 5 themes.

I'm not a coder, but still can make some code changes here and there if it's spelled out for the layman. If there was a nice, clean post, laying out all the steps to adding widgets (with some conditional stuff like Home page only), I'm sure that a lot of people would benefit tremendously. Well, at least I would 😉

Curious though... what do you mean by just adding the widget to the home-bottom? There are already 4 rows of widgets there. How would I dictate where the widget would show up? Top of those 4... bottom... what size would it be? Etc.

Thanks for your assistance, I look forward to your reply.

Right you are... thanks again for all your help.

Have a good night.

Btw, can you shoot me your contact information and rates. I could use you to make some minor modifications like this for me in the future. While I like learning... sometimes certain things should just be left to the pros 😉

Peace,
Aaron

Hey Andrea,

I hate to bug, but I got that in the stylesheet... I changed the # to ., etc., to make it work, but the background, to the left and right of the content area is still black.

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks,
Aaron

[palpatine]

You got it.

But, before I let you go... I noticed that this looks different than what's in the current stylesheet. Does this CSS go in the front-page, or the stylesheet?

Thanks,
Aaron

[palpatine]

Thanks sooooo much. I'll add that to the stylesheet.

I really appreciate your assistance Andrea. Have a good one.

Whoops, nevermind, I added that other code at the bottom of the page and it works good. Thanks.

Now, I just need to figure out how to make the background white (like home-bottom) and the text black.

Got a quick fix for me?

[palpatine]

When I just added that small piece of code above, I get the black box as well, but there's hidden text in it that says:

Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'outreach_home_content_widgets' was given in /home2/ocr/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 42

[palpatine]

Okay, no worries. Standing by...

[palpatine]

Well, without just replacing my front-page.php with this, it looks like you did this, under the if statement:

//* Add home content widgets
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'outreach_home_content_widgets' );

I noticed that widgets is now plural, instead of singular as we had it before. Is that going to make a difference?

Also, was there a way to prioritize this widget to show up after the home-bottom widgets?

Thanks,
Aaron

[palpatine]

I'll bet it has to go under that if statement in front-page.php. Just a guess, I really have no idea.

[palpatine]

You're Awesome! I can send you a link to the site I'm working on if that makes things easier. Can we PM in this forum? Or, do you want to send me your email?

Either way, I'm eagerly waiting to hear what you come up with.

Thanks Again,
Aaron

Hi Andrea,

Thank you so much for your assistance.

Unfortunately, it's not working 🙁

I did try different numbers, other than 11, but nothing shows up where the widget is supposed to be. It's like I didn't add an extra widget at all. There is a space between the , and the 11, and a space afterwards. Not sure if that matters or not, but I used the exact code that is mentioned above. I just cut and pasted.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron

Also, I'm using the Outreach Pro theme, so the HTML5 version, does anyone know of a tutorial that will help me duplicate a Home page widget using HTML5?

Or, does anyone have the code handy? I just need to add a text content area below the home-bottom widgets on Outreach Pro.

Thanks,
Aaron

Hello emasai,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I found that article already... and several others, which I'm sure would work if I knew exactly what information to take from it.

I have no coding experience, so instead of spending hours trying to decipher this stuff, I was just hoping someone had this code handy and I could slap it right in there... and mission accomplished.

I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction though.

-Aaron

[palpatine]

Nevermind, turns out to be a plugin conflict... Genesis Extras. As soon as I deactivated it, the theme is working fine.

Just a heads up, don't use Genesis Extras with the HTML5 version of Outreach Pro.

Thanks,
Aaron
