Yes that way my thought too, it must be the caching, will check again tomorrow just wanted to clarify this is what one would use thank you Victor!

Hi! I actually did contact the plugin author and got the snippets so am posting them here in case they are helpful to anyone else:

//* Add Post categories above featured image on Genesis Featured Post Combo
add_action ( 'gfpc_before_entry', 'genesis_post_categories', 9 );
function genesis_post_categories() {
   echo '<div class="post-categories">';
   echo do_shortcode('[post_categories before=""]');
   echo '</div>';
}

//* Add Post date above featured image on Genesis Featured Post Combo
add_action ( 'gfpc_entry_header', 'gfpc_genesis_post_date', 1 );
function gfpc_genesis_post_date() {
   echo '<div class="post-date">';
   echo do_shortcode('[post_date]');
   echo '</div>';
}

I still have to fool around with the categories because they don't align if one chooses the 2, 3 or 4 column layout but the snippets work if you're using this plugin.

Cool will give it a go thanks William!

Hey Brad thanks so much, for some reason that did not work for me on Foodie Pro, but I actually found a featured posts widget with pagination so could conceivably just use that. Sorry it took me awhile to respond back, really appreciate your prompt responses and all you do to help us Genesis users!

[senordeer]

Absolutely, and I am using Foodie Pro which does add code to display search results, archives, categories and blog page in columns (you can choose in the customizer between 1 and 4 columns). So I'm just trying to figure out where in the specific Foodie Pro files to exclude just the blog page from this custom code, I think it is probably in helper-functions.php but I'm just not sure exactly where or what to do. Just thought I would post in case anyone is super familiar with Foodie Pro customization, otherwise can probably work around it by using an individual Featured Posts widget, no big deal. Thanks!

[senordeer]

Super thanks so much Brad will check it out!

[senordeer]

Thanks for your time Brad. I did find this plugin that works pretty well:

Ultimate Posts Widget

I just always prefer to use something customized to Genesis so thought I would check here first, appreciate your time and all that you do!

[senordeer]

Once again, brilliant! Thanks so much for your time.

[senordeer]

Christoph, you are seriously the best, not only for the Mobile View tip on Chrome Inspector (I never knew) but that change worked perfectly. I would have been stuck fooling with the CSS forever, thank you again!

[senordeer]

Rock on. Perfection. You're the best, my friend. Following on Twitter, cheers!

Hey Ryan - thanks so much. I added the snippet, and I still see it as only half a page (only on mobile though, totally fine on full-size devices). So I'm wondering if it's something in the mobile styling of Foodie Pro? I haven't touched the mobile CSS at all, but the snippet didn't seem to work for me unfortunately. Cleared cache, tried on 2 iphones.

[senordeer]

Hey there, just an update, I did add a new widget area, and tried this using a Widget Context plugin that allows user to hide/display widgets, I set the widget to display only on front page, and once again, it appears on all pages navigated from the pagination, just not static pages or single posts. I can't even figure out how to hide it using CSS, it's really frustrating. It's like every page that has posts on it is read as Front Page or Home.

[senordeer]

Thanks Victor. I would really need to add a new widget because I need it to appear above the whole content_sidebar_wrap, not in the main content next to the sidebar, and I'm actually not using the Lifestyle pro widgetized landing page anyway the homepage is just showing the latest posts. But wouldn't I run into the same problem even if I use a widget? I'm still going to have to call where the widget will go in the php, so I would still be using the same conditionals I would assume, either is_home or is_front_page which is exactly what I am doing with GSH, so I'm wondering how that would work?

[senordeer]

Great, thanks Victor!

[senordeer]

Hey Victor awesome and thank you for the prompt response.

That works fine, I can work on styling the widgets no prob. One more question, and it's okay if you can't answer this because it's really about Genesis Simple Hooks, but I have some custom content in the genesis_footer hook in GSH, it's now appearing above the widget area (it's some creds and social media icons), on older themes I have been able to use GSH to customize the footer output, but clearly it's not working here, should I just use Genesis Simple Edits? Or do you have a suggestion as to the best way to customize footer output now that it has moved?

Totally okay if this is outside the realm here I realize these are plugins and not Studiopress products, thanks!

[senordeer]

I could have sworn I tried that bc it was my first instinct, but I guess not! Smacking my head, duh!

Worked great thanks Christoph!

[senordeer]

Doug that CSS worked perfectly, I didn't want to have to size each image before uploading. I was missing the webkit and moz box sizing on the CSS I had before, thanks again this is resolved.

[senordeer]

That worked! Yep, old school here, I should have mentioned that. For some reason the Featured Image also appeared aligned left on the homepage as well as the new larger image, but I just hid that in css:

.home img.alignleft {
display: none;
}

Bc I am only having one post on the page so won't be using that. Great, your time and effort is much appreciated, marking as resolved. Thanks again.

[senordeer]

Thank you so much and apologize for delay in response, I really respect the timeliness of yours. So no problem, I created the home.php file, uploaded it to my child theme, I see it now in theme editor so I feel pretty confident I have done all of that correctly, also regenerated thumbnails just in case., but am still not seeing the size of the thumbnail on homepage change. Do I need to call that new php file somewhere else in my child theme?

I actually moved this site to a new domain, so examples can be found here:
Content archives in theme settings set to thumbnail, align left. So this works fine on archives pages eg:
http://metro.littlebluedeerdesign.com/category/destinations/

But on the homepage (single post, beneath slider):
http://metro.littlebluedeerdesign.com/

The same settings (thumbnail size img, left aligned) even though I did add home.php file as so:

<?php
/**
 * This file controls the posts page
 */

//* Remove default featured image from posts page and replace with thumbnail.
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_image', 8 );
add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'child_theme_add_thumbnail_image', 8 );
function child_theme_add_thumbnail_image() {

	$image_args = array(
		'size' => 'latestpost',
		'attr' => array(
			'class' => 'alignnone post-image',
		),
	);

	genesis_image( $image_args );
}

genesis(); 

Not a rush just wanted to respond back thanks again for the input much appreciated.

[senordeer]

David wow thanks so much for the quick response. So if I set the Content Archives theme settings to how I want the category archives to appear (small image, align left) but I want the posts on the homepage to show a custom thumbnail size (I already added this custom image size to functions.php, name is 'latestpost'), and I do not want any alignment on homepage, what would I need to change in the code you sent?
