Thanks - managed to get it to work by excluding the templates using:

<?php if ( !(is_page_template( '_doom2.php' ) || is_page_template( 'doom.php' ) )) { ?>

<div class="amsliderarea">[metaslider id=1586]</div>
<?php } ?>

but would be nice to know why the array didnt work and what i was doing wrong 🙁

pages were doom, how-did-we-get-here, introduction-to-doom,project-timeline

thanks

i so cant get this to work. ive tried an array, tried excluding templates etc am going round in circles.

Christoph or anyone can you provide the exact php to go in simple hooks? I want to exclude the page doom and about and contact.

Thanks 🙁

thats prob easiest great thanks!

for future reference re workflow would you recommend adding a slider in the hooks or as a template - is there a difference?

[robortsmith]

d'oh i didnt think you could put html in the title area! thanks thats perfect!

[robortsmith]

thanks interesting but would have to do one of those for every post as every title will be different 🙁

thks but not talking of creating a child theme of a child theme just replacing that child theme with either one of my own or adding another css file to the existing one?

[robortsmith]

does generally mean ever?! wouldnt want it to be overwritten?

any reason not to create a separate one?

just seen this:

http://www.artofblog.com/building-a-genesis-child-theme/#build-menu

wondering if i should be creating my own child whether from scratch or a copy of sample?

thanks

[robortsmith]

ha fair point! i feel i need it but still not sure why!

[robortsmith]

thanks will have a look

[robortsmith]

decided not to go with that layout in the end! interested to know how you just get it to work on the one page though if its simple? thanks

[robortsmith]

it would have a theme though - the theme i create from scratch. how would updating this be any different to a child theme in genesis? still bit confused what its giving me sorry!

[robortsmith]

its on the genesis_before_content Hook

the one after that is before the loop which means it would appear on every page doesnt it? just want it to be on the homepage

thanks 🙂

[robortsmith]

thats great thanks.

re the updates if i'm just creating my own theme from standard wordpress is that in effect a child theme so the main wordpress would get updated and my theme would get updated. or is that a parent theme. bit confused as basically saying i dont want to buy a theme but want to create a site from scratch. if this is a case is genesis still best rather than creating it from basic wordpress?

thanks
