@nickthegeek...Thank you for taking the time to clarify to process by which y'all got to make the change. For me that goes a long way.

My thought is to ask the Studiopress crew what led to the changeover...I feel like if I understood the problems that needed fixing from their perspective it would go a long way to helping me "sign up". Having said that, my experience has been that I have gotten great help here in the past several days, not so very different than before. The studiopress outfit has done a pretty damn good job to date...I am willing to cut them some slack; I am inclined to go with the new situation for a bit and see how it plays. Just sayin'  for what it's worth. 😉

Did it and it worked- kinda- will take some foolin' with the CSS to get to my liking.  Thanks for all your help. I need to take a break from this for a couple of work days. Have good Thanksgiving

Can I do this, add the V.2 home php to V.1  if  I want two columns of posts on the V.1 front page? seems too easy and likely to screw up everything...my usual result.

Thanks SZ. Will give it a shot. I am trying to put two columns into the feature widget on the front page of minimum v.1 - two columns of posts..

Sozo,  the answer from the help desk( Andrea) was to be found in the functions.php:

To remove it, you will need to edit code in functions.php. It;s this section:

/** Add the featured image section */
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_featured_image' );
function minimum_featured_image() {
if ( is_home() ) {
echo '<div id="featured-image"><img src="'. get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/sample.jpg" /></div>';
}
elseif ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && has_post_thumbnail() ){
echo '<div id="featured-image">';
echo get_the_post_thumbnail($thumbnail->ID, 'header');
echo '</div>';
}
}

The second half in the else if area is what adds the image to the top of single posts.

I have removed the featured image from the posts and that works with a clear header- ( clean top but less interesting) but I would love to be able to control for the size of the featured image. is there a reasonably simple coding change to allow for using the feature image but controlling for the size and alignment?

 

Thanks

"This question should be submitted to the help desk. The help desk is for any issues you are having with the original theme function. But the media gallery cropping doesn’t effect thumbnails. What did you change the image size in functions.php to? Did you run Regenerate Thumbnails plugin after changing the size?"

Will do, that, submit this to the help desk.

I changed the size to 900x600 which how I cropped the header (sample) image- and now i have changed it back to the original 1600, 9999, TRUE

I added : /** Add new image sizes */
add_image_size( 'header', 1600, 9999, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'feature image', 1600, 9999, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'portfolio', 330, 230, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'grid_thumb', 150, 150, TRUE );
add_image_size( 'tiny_thumb', 90, 90, TRUE );

to the functions.php

I and ran Regenerate Thumbnails after I added the image sizes but before i changed the feature size.

Thanks again.

Worked a charm it did...Thank you, Mr. Wright. I am a fan of your photography by the way. I used Manhattan with many edits for my site and i use SmugMug as the back end for the slideshows et al. Seems to work. Enough about me. Thanks for the help

Works a treat now...did what I thought would work. Can I post the code I used in home.php and functions.php or is it too soon for that?

 

Thank you

Thank you for your timely and elucidating response. I get that. And much appreciated. I have always liked the community forum code exchange. I will go there as I have many times before. I had thought the Portfolio question was an "easy" fix but the more I look the more I realize i don't see it. Patience Grasshoppa is my new mantra.

So my experience today has been to ask for code help through the members portal and: GOOD NEWS get a very quick response but BAD NEWS be told that code and such were being handled over here. This will get better after the migration is complete I'm guessing but it is a little frustrating. Oh well...great looking Forum and love the Genesis thought process. Still looking for some code help though....
