I got it! Thanks to a post by Bill Erickson.

The change only needed to be made to the home page, so in front-page.php, I added:

//* Remove 'site-inner' from structural wrap
add_theme_support( 'genesis-structural-wraps', array(
'header',
'footer-widgets',
'footer'
) );

Thanks to all for the help!

@brock - any idea what to do to force the home featured widgets to be full width with no white wrap?

Thanks!

[professorz]

Hi Brock - I want the black home featured section to be full width with no white wrap. I also want one section to be full width blue and one to be full width red.

How do I alter/remove/edit the wrap so it doesn't restrict those .home-featured widgets to 960px, or whatever it is?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion @emasai. Unfortunately, it does not seem to have fixed my problem. If you go to the url above and scroll down to the 2 kids giving thumbs up, I'd like the black to be full width. I'm using the featured page widget in that section. I'd like to figure this out because I have 2 other sections I want full width background colors for. Thanks!

Here's my css:

.home-featured {
border-bottom: 5px solid #f5f5f5;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;
}

.home-featured li {
list-style-type: none;
}

.home-featured .widget {
padding: 0 20px;
}

.home-featured p:last-child {
padding: 0 0 24px;
}

.home-featured .wrap{
max-width: none;
}

.home-featured-1,
.home-featured-2,
.home-featured-3,
.home-featured-4 {
float: left;
text-align: center;
padding-top: 12px;
width: 100%;
}

.home-featured-2 {
background-color: #000000;
color: #fff;
max-width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 auto;
}

.home-widgets-2 h1 {
font-size: 36px;
font-weight: 700;
line-height: 1.2;
text-shadow: 2px 2px rgba( 0, 0, 0, 0.1 );
}

Forgot to add the URL where I'm trying to customize the theme:

Thanks!

I will chime in here. I would like the home featured widgets to all be 100% wide AND change the background colors. It does change the color to black but is only I guess the 960px as @curio posted above. I would like that entire section to be black with no white border or wrap. If you can help @Susan, I would be most grateful!

Thanks,
Jack

Chris,

I apologize for the delay in replying. Adding 148px to top does have the slider displaying on the iPhone now without chopping the heads off. Thank you.

Any thoughts on the still present large black space?

Hey Brad,

I believe I have resolved my problem. I went with the Footer Putter plugin and I am no longer having the issue of erroneous links being created.

Thanks for all your help,
Jack

[professorz]

Thanks Brad. I deactivated the Simple Edits plugin and added the code to the functions.php file, but still seem to be having the same issue.

From the home page, if I hover over College Admissions, I get: http://westsidetutoring.com/college-admissions

However, if I am on another page, say Academic Tutoring, and hover over College Admissions, i get: http://westsidetutoring.com/academic-tutoring/college-admissions

Hi Brad,

Here is the link to the Gist; https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e8027dac72cb4761f078

I have used the Simple Edits plugin on other sites and double checked to see if the same thing was happening with them - it is not.

Again, links are fine from home page but not on other pages.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Ericka,

Great logo! I would really like to know how you made the header area larger and got it adjusted so it does not cut off the main image. If I adjust the header width and height in functions.php, it cuts the top off the image off.

I'd like to know what you did to make your nav menu look that way as well.

Many thanks!

@nciske and @braddalton

Thank you both very much for your time and suggestions.

A combination of both resolved my issue and the widget is now only appearing on the home page =)

G'Day Brad,

Theme is set to sidebar/content for the home page and entire site.

Using a static page for the home page.

Currently telling featured bottom widget to display genesis_after_post_content - which it is - except on all pages.

It appears I may want to be using after_content_home instead?

Definitely only want this widget on the home page below the static page content and only content width, not after content sidebar wrap.

Present URL is:

http://virtualassistantwebdesign.com/betaL1/

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Brad,

With Focus, I saw no place to add any code for widgets in the home.php file, so the 2 following bits of code were added to the functions.php file:

/** Add the featured bottom section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'custom_featured_bottom_text' );
function custom_featured_bottom_text() {
genesis_widget_area( 'featured-bottom', array(
'before' => '<div class="featured-bottom widget-area">',
) );
}

- AND -

/** Register widget areas */
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'featured-bottom',
'name' => __( 'Featured Bottom', 'genesis' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the featured bottom section of the homepage.', 'focus' ),
) );

The widget is now showing below the main content on every page; trying to just get it to dsiplay on the home page. 

Are you saying I should add the Hook to my Home Page Only language somewhere in one of the above codes in the functions.php file?

And, thank you ver much for replying.

[professorz]

Thanks so much for the prompt reply and great suggestion!

I'm going to try this as soon as I get back from Easter dinner.

Would you mind leaving this request open in case I need any additional assistance with this?
