Ok thanks.

[Philbeaux]

Thanks for getting back with me.

[Philbeaux]

First, thank you very much for your assistance helping me. I do appreciate it.
But.....
I added the front-page.php to my child theme folder - but what should I include in it? I added this to it.

<?php
/**
 * This file adds the Front Page Template to any Genesis Child Theme.
 */

 
 
genesis();

Created the blank page "Home" like you suggested, set the Static setting to the Home Page and still no widgets. Just to make sure I went back and looked at my functions.php and made sure they were being called.

Ok, would Atomic Blocks have done that?

I know Genesis is a little different. Is there a tutorial on creating one?

[Philbeaux]

You mean set it to "Latest Posts" right?
I did that, but then what? I'm adding Genesis Featured Posts to the Home page widgets (Home Top, Middle and Bottom) but nothing is changing. I even go to the Widgets Option in the Customizer and those Widget areas are not showing. I'm getting a "Your theme has 5 other widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them."

[Philbeaux]

And set it to what?
I created a new page and set it to that, set up the home page with the widgets but it doesn't change from showing a list of my latest posts.

EDIT -- It doesn't display my latest posts, but it shows the same posts everytime it's refreshed.

Susan, sorry just now getting back to this.

No, I do not see a front-page.php. I am using the Genesis-Sample theme

[Philbeaux]

Maybe I'm not clarifying them correctly. I'm still pretty new to WordPress.

My Home Page is a page of my latest posts and that is what I want to add the widget to.

[Philbeaux]

The only problem with that guide is it doesn't cover adding a widget to my Homepage, which is what I'm trying to do.

The code I originally used is

//Extra Widget Area
function genesischild_footerwidgetheader() {
	genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id' => 'footerwidgetheader',
	'name' => __( 'Footer Widget Header', 'genesis' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is for the Footer Widget Headline', 'genesis' ),
	) );

}

add_action ('widgets_init','genesischild_footerwidgetheader');

//Position Widget Header
function genesischild_footerwidgetheader_position ()  {
        echo '<div class="footerwidgetheader-container"><div class="wrap">';
	genesis_widget_area ('footerwidgetheader');
	echo '</div></div>';

}

add_action ('genesis_before_footer','genesischild_footerwidgetheader_position', 5 );

The above code worked just fine, but it put the Footer Header everything.
How can it be edited to put the widget on just my Home Page? What would the ID of my Home Page?

[Philbeaux]

Ok, that kinda makes sense now.

Working fine.
Thanks

Ok, I added the code provided. Made a new image size of 160x160, named it my-thumbnail.
Made no difference.
I downloaded Regenerate Thumbnails, regenerated a couple of thumbnails, all it did was create images of certain width but varying heights.
How can I set it to where the output of thumbnails will be 160X160?
I'm not having a problem with featured images. It's the output of a gallery and the featured images of archive pages.

[Philbeaux]

I'm doing something wrong.

I'm trying to apply it and my site is crashing.

How do I install the code?

[Philbeaux]

Thanks for the quick response.
Now, I know very little about modifying WordPress files and even less when it comes to Genesis.
How can I go about learning how to edit that widget code?
