I've been using 'Metro' and got excellent results! My home page gave me 98/100 with Pingdom tools with a load time of 1.50 seconds and this is bearing in mind that I have a slideshow on the home page too!
http://www.funeventsasia.comNot sure if this helps 😉
And here's me trying to work out how to add another widget area! 😉 Thanks Brad .. apologies for the silly question. 😉
Once again you have come to my aid and given professional support. Thank you very much .. truly appreciated. 😉
Hi there
Yes I added this to my functions.php file. It shows the widget in the admin but when I publish any widget to that position nothing shows.
If I do that it will show on every page? I only want this on the front static page. Strange thing is it worked fine on my local server!
Perhaps I closed this post too soon! I added the same code to my live site and the widget shows up in the admin widgets section but nothing displays on the front page. Any ideas?
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'home-feature',
'name' => __( 'Home Feature', 'domain' ),
'description' => __( 'Add Content Here', 'domain' ),
) );add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'home-feature' );
function your_widget() {
if ( is_front_page() && is_active_sidebar('home-feature') ) {
genesis_widget_area( 'home-feature', array(
'before' => '<div class="home-feature home-feature">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
}
}
Although I never resolved this I will close it. I decided to not use Jetpack and removed it from my WordPress.
As i don't use a posts page I removed it and only added post categories to the menu. It took over a month for the errors to clear in google webmaster. I'm very happy to say this is finally solved and I can now use genesis in peace! 😉
My apologies for the late reply efuller. It's ok as I have decided to leave it as is! Thanks for your support though.
Interesting but a very contradictive post by Yoast. One minute he's writing against the use of all sliders amd then he's justifying why he uses it in his themes!! I only use it on the home page and concentrate the SEO on each single posts. I prefer the wood background but as always appreciate the time you took to comment and provide feedback. Thanks again Gregg
Hi Dan
I have my bio at the base of each post. Didn't want to seem too vain! Perhaps it does look a little too corporate! Appreciate the feedback. 😉 I was thinking of adding some cartoon vector characters?
Thanks Brad
This is what I added although changing the colour to white appears the padding is already there and looks as I wanted. By the way, I subscribed to your sites.
.home-feature {
background:#fff;
margin:0 auto;
position: relative
}Regards
Toni
Both options work but the code from Brad gives my the image on the static home page only. Thank you both again. Perhaps one last question:
I placed an image in this widget which is flush with the menu. I'd like to add some space. What should I place in the style css?
Thanks again
Thanks everyone for your great support. I see different options here and don't know which I should use. To be honest I'd like to add the extra widget space on the homepage only which is a static page.
Hi Sridhar
I have just re-installed WordPress SEO and here's the screen capture of the settings

I certainly did not and never use abusive language! Thank you for that comment! I only messaged the photographer that I had sent an email and would be more than pleased to help him as he was getting the same replies I had. Following this I was blocked!I originally went into the WordPress forum to request support and provided ALL the details. Staffed by volunteers is irrelevant to mention as 'isn't this what a Forum is about! I already knew that and simply needed help. It didn't matter how long or from whom ... just someone to point me in the right direction.
Anyway I will no longer re-sign up into their forums as there were many people like me getting the same replies and being blocked!
Lets move on shall we and focus on the issue at hand 😉
OK Sridhar Please bear with me as I have to go to a meeting. Upon my return I will re-install WordPress SEO and set it up. Originally when I had WordPress SEO I went through numerous settings which didn't work hence moved to Genesis SEO. Now my site had dropped dramatically in Google and I am still wondering about changing over to pages as I will not be blogging on this site.
I'll get back to you later today
Regards
Toni
