Hey Victor, can you show me an example of bad code? Code is not my forte and if I am to get it fixed, I need to know what the problem looks like.
Thanks,
David

David TrounceHey Victor, thanks for your help. I can't see that you provided line in my .php - However, I did modify the author box to add social icons.
Here is the line of code I think is relevant (and I wonder if this is what is causing the author box to appear in the excerpts).
remove_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'genesis_do_author_box_single', 8 ); // Remove default Genesis Author Box
add_action( 'genesis_after_entry', 'rv_theme_author_box', 8 ); // Do custom author box instead
function rv_theme_author_box() { ?>Does this shed light on the issue and indicate how I might get rid of the AB on archive excerpt pages?

David TrounceThanks, Brad. The site isn't live yet, which is why I didn't provide the link.
Is there a tutorial out there that will tell me the changes that are needed?
Cheers,
David
Kind Regards,
David TrounceYes, yes yes! All my sites - various themes page templates are now corrupted!
Kind Regards,
David TrounceOK, gotcha. It goes in my fucntions.php adn the widget should then appear. Thanks Brad.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceMy apologies, I wasn't paying enough attention. I looked at the link, thought, "That's not a plugin", went to my widget dashboard, couldn't see such a widget there......
Thanks for the code. I will use it..... but, the Hook plugin does not have an "after_post_content hook" that's mentioned inthe link you gave me.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceThanks Victor. I have decided to add an image.php file and send attachments back to the post. It seems to have worked. Will just need to see what Google does with them.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceThanks Brad,
My Genesis Theme (Epik) doesn't have an after post widget (at least, I can't see one in the widget page), which is why I turned to the Simple Hooks.
I will keep working on a solution. It would be ideal if the Simple Hooks could do it as its an otherwise very useful plugin.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceHi Victor. Thanks. I prefer not to use that plugin. If there are any other suggestions for doing this in Genesis I would be grateful.

David TrounceAariade's post is a year old. Chances are he solved his issue. Rather than start a new thread, it seems good to me to have contributed to this once. As it happens, ihave also started my own thread on the same issue. But, perhaps like @aariade i shall be waiting 12 months for a reply.
Never-the-less, great forum and good to see genuine support happening in the threads.
Kind Regards,

Thanks. i do not have a satisfactory answer as yet. It seems that some themes (mine is Epik) disable home page widgets for static pages. This seems odd to me. The alternative is post pages (blogs), which already have posts on them.
For the moment I have had to return to an old favourite plugin - Simon Hibbard's Post for Pages. Always works. However, Genesis should be easily able to accomodate the same thing. Simon has not updaed his plugin for 2 years and it still workds flawlessly.
I would love a plugin-free solution that doesn't involve a mountain of recoding.
Keep me posted.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceDavey! Thank you so much.
I assume that the only way to use the exisitng widgets is to select the "use latest posts" in the reading settings instead of the Static page. Bit of a bummer, but your workaround seems like it will do the trick.
Syndey, eh? Where are you from orginally? I live in Australia about 3 hours north of Sydney.
Thanks Again.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceBump! I would like to have 3 or 4 posts of my choosing appear as an excerpt with a thumbnail at the bottom of my static home page. Why is this proving so hard!
Using Epik theme.
Kind Regards,
David TrounceHi Mark, No category by the name and yes, I looked at my settings. I have been able to get it to work if I use a WP page instead of Post. Perhaps this is becuase the place I want it to land is also a page and not a post?
Kind Regards,
David TrounceMark,
Not sure. My permalinks are simply custom /%postname%/
The only difference with the link which points to my site is that it does not appear to contain www.
Interestingly, when I create a page for http://www.malleeblue.com/gtasks/, instead of a post, it does work - but the sidebars of the blog disappear.
Kind Regards,
David Trounce
