    When trying to view places in the demo (e.g. http://geo1280.wpgeothemes.com/places/united-kingdom/cambridgeshire/peterborough/attractions/rittenhouse-square/) all I see is a blank page. I’m using Chrome latest version on PC.

    Hi Tony,
    The demo site has some problems because GD wasn’t multisite compatible, but don’t worry, the theme works fine.
    I will soon be rebuilding the demo using the latest multisite compatible version of GD.

    Hi John,

    Not sure if this is the correct place to post this…

    I have registered a new sidebar that I want before the “header” that shows the page title, just for the home page. I tried genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap, which puts it below the breadcrumbs (ick), tried genesis_after_header, which hides it behind actual header (I have not attempted to play with the css yet). I am not really sure why the page title area is showing “header” as style in firebug. Which hook should I use to have the new sidebar directly above the page title? Is it genesis_after_header and I just need to adjust css?

    Thanks!!!

    I’m not sure exactly where you want to place your new sidebar – do you mean before the intro widget?
    The intro widget is using the genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap hook with a priority of 10, so you could use the same hook with a lower priority to make it come before:

    add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'your_function', 9 );

    If you want it to appear just after the search bar area you could use this:

    add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'your_function', 25 );

    Your function would most likely be something like this:

    
    
    function your_function() {
    	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'your_widget' ) ) {
    		genesis_widget_area( 'your_widget', array(
    			'before' => '<div class="your_widget widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
    			'after' => '</div></div>',
    		) );
         }
    }

    Hope that helps 🙂

    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!

    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?

    Can’t answer to your question about the Genesis child theme, for that you’ll have to wait for John’s answer.

    About the forum yes you can.

    See image attached.

    Thx

    I think it only lets you edit the very last one and if there is no reply yet.

    I’ve created a totally random test user and right after posting I had the edit button.

    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!!!
