John,

Thank you so much. I have been away from this project for a few months and it’s taking me a bit to “get with it” again.

Ahh, I hadn’t gotten as far as to add widgets to home content, I just thought that the GD ones would work anywhere, now I understand, thanks!

oh, i see the edit option on latest I just sent you, right after posting. so maybe it is not about someone replying, more about leaving this part of the forum and then coming back, that a user no longer has the edit option? it’s ok, just that sometimes I’ll be playing around and figure out part of what it was I was asking about, and would be nice to not have to add more posts and just be able to edit the original… :). thanks!!!

3rd times a charm? So, no matter what I try, I cannot get your default “home intro” widget area to show on home page, search widget area works fine. I have added css, I have tried in wp front page settings, both latest posts and static page (which is what I am wanting). this is why I was wanting to register another home page widget… to do what the “home-intro” is suppose to do.

And yes, I have checked in both firebug and chrome developer tools and it shows nowhere on the page.

What am I missing???

Thanks.

PS. Is there a way to edit previous posts on this forum?

Well, it kinda helps. Guess we can start here…If I place a, for example, text widget in the intro widget, I get nothing showing. Is it suppose to be before the page title area?

here is what I added to the functions file:
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘home-featured’,
‘name’ => __( ‘Home Featured’, ‘geo1280’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘This is the home featured section.’, ‘geo1280’ ),
) );

/** Add the home featured section */
add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘geo1280_home_featured’ );
function geo1280_home_featured() {
if ( is_front_page() && !get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) >= 2 ) {
genesis_widget_area( ‘home-featured’, array(
‘before’ => ‘<div class=”home-featured widget-area”>’,
‘after’ => ‘</div>’
) );
}

}

And it shows, just not where I want it, which, yes, would be after the search bar area, though I am not using the search bar area. Guess I can just use the search bar area instead, but only want it for the home page.

Also, you say “The intro widget is using the genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap hook with a priority of 10” but where is this written? this is what is in my functions file:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
‘id’ => ‘home-intro’,
‘name’ => __( ‘Home Intro’, ‘geo1280’ ),
‘description’ => __( ‘This is the home intro widget area.’, ‘geo1280’ ),
) );

I know just enough to be dangerous :). Thanks!
