Yes you can use the widget called Genesis Featured Posts and it does it automatically. It’s already included in the Genesis Framework so you’ll see it in your widgets section.

Thanks for posting! I’ll reference this for anyone else that needs it.

Yeah all of that comes from WordPress itself and not the Child theme. You would have to check in your settings to see if there is an option for that…..I know what you’re talking about because I’ve seen it before, just can’t remember how it was setup. If there are no settings then I would check and see if there is a plugin for it.

Add this code to your css for the HTML tags –

.form-allowed-tags {
    display:none;
}

That should remove them from showing.

@hyrax Just in case your homepage is linked to the wrong thing in your Settings > Reading page you may want to take a look here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/ ….once you have that setup properly, then you can simply add a widget to any of the home widgets and the home.php file will automatically activate and show the homepage.

The link that @Wes posted to shows an exact list of how to create the demo homepage. For example, here is the Homepage widget location/guide – https://appfinite.com/topic/epik-widgets-guide/ for more tutorials/code snippets to recreate the demo please review the links mentioned above.

You have to add content inside of the widgets in order for them to show up on the homepage. If you don’t then it will show your blog posts by default.

Make sure and check out the Yellow Highlighted sticky posts at the top of the Epik forum for tutorials/code snippets – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/

You’re Welcome!

You can try a plugin like this – http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/ for managing sidebars on different pages. They should have documentation and tutorials if you need to figure anything out. They also have a Support forum if you run into any issues – http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/custom-sidebars

I can see that the Home widgets (like the slider widget) is appearing on that page. That’s why you see the contact widget that you added in your Slider widget area.

My guess, it must be one of your plugins that are conflicting with it. I would try and deactivate each one until you find the one that is causing the issue. Those home widgets shouldn’t be showing on any other page except for the home page.

Yes you can set your homepage as a blog if you need. You can do this from the Settings > Reading page in your WP admin. Just create a page with the Blog template and add that as your homepage.

If you don’t add any widgets to the home widget areas then the blog will show by default….but to avoid the homepage template from showing up by mistake (if you add any content inside of the widgets) you can set the blog page as the homepage as mentioned above.

If you can create a temporary user/password I can login and take a quick look.

Do you want to put the slider back into the static front page? If so, all you have to do is go to Widgets and drag the “Genesis Responsive Slider” widget into the “Slider Wide” sidebar.

Never seen that happen before. What do you have the Page Template set as?

If your homepage isn’t showing the widgets (like the demo), then take a look at this link – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/

Basically you just need to set your Settings > Reading page to “Latest Posts” since the home.php file takes care of the Home page. That link will also explain how to setup a blog.

Let me know if this helps.

Do you have any plugins that deal with sidebars or anything? I’ve seen this before and it had to do with a plugin that was activated that forced the sidebar on every page…….Assuming you’ve added content inside of the Home Widget areas. If not, then the blog and sidebar shows up by default.

Once you add it and save it to the functions file it’s supposed to show up in the dropdown selection under Content Archives…..you have to check the Featured Image box for it to show up. And this is only for the Featured Images on the Blog page.

Are you referring to the thumbnails that show up in your blog page? If so, that can be adjusted from your Genesis Theme Settings page. You can add more sizes in your functions file (just like the portfolio size that is there now) and then they will show up in your Genesis Theme Settings under Content Archives.

If you’re talking about the images that you add in a post, then that isn’t controlled by the theme, you would use WordPress’ image settings to control how they are displayed.

Anytime you change your thumbnail size anywhere in the theme, make sure and use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to automatically adjust all of your thumbnails to the size you have selected.

No worries, I knew what you meant, I just wanted to point that out for anyone else that may be reading since I’ve seen this question before.

To do what you’re asking will take some customization to the theme. If you want your site to look like her site then you don’t need to use the home.php template that comes with the theme. There was a link that explains how to add a widget area just like what you’re looking for, but I can’t think of where it was. In the mean time you can give this tutorial a try – http://www.carriedils.com/widget-area-above-header-genesis/ it’s practically the same thing, you’ll just need to reposition it wherever you want…..and to do that you can look at the StudioPress documentation for Genesis that explains hooks and their locations – http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/

Hope this helps

Thanks for letting us know!

Most Genesis themes that have a home page template work like this – If you have a home.php file that has widgets, that page will only appear if you have content inside of the home widgets. If you don’t have anything inside of your widgets, then it will show the blog by default. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. This theme wasn’t designed to show the sidebar content on the homepage….so that’s why that happened. It’s not a bug or anything, that’s just the way it’s designed.

So if you want to add content in a certain place of the homepage, you may want to take a look at this page – https://appfinite.com/topic/epik-widgets-guide/ since it shows you were all the widgets are and how wide they are.

Make sure and take a look at the tutorials and code snippets for this theme at the top of the Epik forum page – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ They are the highlighted yellow sticky posts at the top.

Hope this helps.

What do you mean “like the blog”? Just create a page and add in whatever content you want….

If you’re referring to the layout of the page….(like having a sidebar)….you can change the layout on any page or post by selecting it from the bottom of the page editor.

Ok, glad you got it working. Just let any of us know if you have any other questions.

You’re supposed to do this from Settings > Reading in your WP backend (just like any other theme). This theme should show the latest posts by default if you don’t have any active widgets in your home widget areas…..which is sort of explained here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/

Yes that’s correct, the portfolio page is just a template, and isn’t related to your category widget. When you click your categories in your sidebar it is going to show them all in the blog style format. That’s the way it’s supposed to work in Genesis by default. The portfolio template only shows the posts in portfolio format if you access the page that uses the portfolio template. The category page is a template in and of itself (can be found inside the Genesis Framework) and will show the categories in it’s own way….it’s completely separate from the portfolio template.

Hope this helps.

Take a look at your source code and you’ll see something like this –

<ul id="menu-newsletter" class="menu genesis-nav-menu"><li id="menu-item-83" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-83"><a href="http://www.thesweetsource.com/newsletter/">Newsletter</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-80" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-80"><a href="http://www.thesweetsource.com/blog/">Blog</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-82" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-82"><a href="http://www.thesweetsource.com/about/">About</a></li>
<li id="menu-item-81" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-81"><a href="http://www.thesweetsource.com/contact-us/">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul><!--formatted--><!--formatted-->

Each link has it’s own unique menu ID. You can then add that ID to your css and apply the color you want. Here is an example for the first one –

#menu-item-83 a {
	color: #333;
}

Then replace the ID number above with any of the other ID’s to change their colors.

This isn’t an Epik or Genesis issue or anything, it’s just the way WordPress is setup. WP only allows you to add a featured image. So when you’re looking at a blog or the portfolio page it only uses your featured images at the top. Videos only show up in the content.
