Actually that was my mistake, I forgot to include in the Docs that I’m using this plugin – https://github.com/calliaweb/featured-custom-post-type-widget-for-genesis to add in the posts. The reason I’m using this over the default Genesis Posts widget is because you can add Columns without the need of any code.
I use this plugin on a few different themes due to the ability to add columns. Give this a try and it should work.
I need to get this plugin added into the documentation.
