Reply To: Prevent default loop (home page)

Ok, just got it figured out. I tried logging in but it didn’t give me access to any of the WP files.

Here’s what I noticed in the default home.php of the theme…..If you look near the top you’ll see this –

<?php

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'adapt_home_genesis_meta' );
/**
 * Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
 *
 */
function adapt_home_genesis_meta() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'slider-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'slider' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-3' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-4' ) ) {

		remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_top' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_welcome' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_middle' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_middlewide' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_feature' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_bottom' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_bottom_message' );
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

	}
}

All of the content right under the line – function adapt_home_genesis_meta() { is supposed to look like this instead –

<?php

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'adapt_home_genesis_meta' );
/**
 * Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
 *
 */
function adapt_home_genesis_meta() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'slider-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'slider' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'welcome-feature-3' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-wide' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-3' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-feature-4' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-sidebar-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-sidebar-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-message' ) ) {

		remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_top' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_welcome' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_middle' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_middlewide' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_feature' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_bottom' );
		add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'adapt_home_loop_helper_bottom_message' );
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

	}
}

There are missing widgets up top so that was why that was happening. The above code should fix it. I could have added in your WP editor, but I didn’t want to risk the site going down if there was an error (which is why I asked about the FTP)…..But it should work as I’ve tested it on a local install I have setup. I’ll also make sure to get this updated in the theme, so thanks for letting me know!
