you would just add the Rev Slider shortcode to the desired home widget area 🙂

The Genesis Responsive slider has a setting where you set the number of slides to display. I believe it would be best to set a number -- say 4 to 6 -- and use the slider to display recent posts or highlight certain pages of your site rather than run through all your blog posts.

Even if it could run through 100's of posts, why would you want that? Who has time to sit and watch a slider run through 100's of posts 🙂

Not sure if this helps but just my thoughts.

Good luck.

Hi Mike,

If you aren't too familiar with hooks, you might want to consider Genesis Extender. It allows you to easily create custom widget areas and hook areas and you can then assign that content to any page you like via labels.

Thanks for this Dave. When I try this, though, I get an error message on the search results page:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/kitche11/public_html/wp-content/themes/dynamik-gen/search.php on line 19

Wonder why it works for you and not me ? I"ll double check the code I added and see if I somehow copied over incorrectly.

Thanks for helping out here.

Thanks, Brad. Unfortunately, there was an issue. Even though I had display post excerpts in the Content Archives, it still didn't work. But thank you for the reference; I read a few more of your posts while "there" and learned some good stuff~

This worked for me:

// remove post info, post meta, and title from cpt
add_action ('get_header', 'tx_remove_post_info');
function tx_remove_post_info() {
if ('CPTNAME' == get_post_type()) {
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_post_info', 12 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );

}
}

Thanks for the info, Brad. I'll try to sort it out with the info you provided.

Hi Brad,

For single CPT's. Can you expand just a little for me -- I'm not completely clear on how to do this.

Glad you succeeded with the EZ home page widgets. Easy to forget and not intuitive at all!

Re: Fancy dropdown effect, you only need to click that option in Dynamic Settings > General Settings. Bottom right you see Genesis "Fancy Dropdowns". Click to activate.

Sorry, I'm not sure how you would show 2 columns in submenu. This is not a Dynamic or Genesis option by default.

So you are using Dynamic Website Builder EZ Static Home page setting found in Dynamic Design > EZ, correct? If so, you do not assign home page in Settings > Readings. You actually leave Front page displays set to your latest posts.

Dynamic overrides this when you set EZ Static Home page at Dynamic Design > EZ. Just set your Static Home Page Structure found between Home Page Type.

You don't need any additional plugins, this will automatically format your home page with EZ widget structure you choose.

You can then use Genesis Featured Posts in EZ home page widget areas and display post (s) from specific category.

You don't need any additional plugins or custom fields. Dynamic Website Builder with Genesis Featured Post widget does everything you need.

Just change your Settings > Readings to latest posts rather than choosing a static page.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you still have questions.

Good luck! Yael

Okay, never mind; I deactivated Genesis Extender -- which I had used to add custom hook -- and reactivated. That removed the left over hook / space at the top of the blog posts.

High five, Susan! It works 🙂 Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it.

Sure I can. I edited the actual style.css file and simply added the additional styling to the .site-header .widget-area, but still no change on front end. I'm sure this is easy, just not sure what I'm missing.

.site-header .widget-area {
width: 544px;
text-align: center;
padding: 0px;
}

Hmm, well, guess I can't go it alone 🙁 Since I'm using Genesis Extender, I added the following to Custom CSS:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1139px) {
site-header .widget-area {
text-align: center;
padding: 0px;
}
}

and yet there is no change. Do you know what I'm doing wrong here? Seemed pretty straight forward but guess not 🙁

Hello Susan, Thanks so much for the help. I thought I looked in my theme's style.css and wasn't finding the media queries. Clearly, I hadn't scrolled all the way to the bottom of the style sheet!

Thank you so much. I think I can sort it now that you showed me where to go.

HI, A similar question was posted over Google+ Genesis community by Tye Ward:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/106789183965218722955/posts

"Can anyone tell me if it is possible and if so how to make the picture on the new Minimum Pro Theme so that it is fixed (maybe not as a background but a widgeted area, not sure)? I'm building a website for a friend and I need the picture that is viewable to stay in that section and be responsive. As it stands right now, it looks great on a computer monitor, but on an iPad or cell phone the part of the picture I need to be seen is off to the side. Any ideas? Thanks!"

He seems to have found the solution, so perhaps you can message him if this is also what you are needing.

Good luck. Yael
