Can you help me figure out why my post titles do not appear on my blog page?

They appear fine on the Blog section in my home page (down at the bottom), http://bit.ly/1nTclSo

…but when you click the block page, there are no post titles. http://bit.ly/29vKGdb

Thanks.

Did you add any new functions/filters in your functions.php file. Something like that can only happen if you’ve added some PHP customizations….or if you’re using a plugin that adds customizations to the Genesis Framework. This doesn’t happen to the Theme by default, so that’s why I assume it must be custom code or a plugin.

If you’re not sure which one it is, I can do a quick check for you if you want. All I would need is a temporary login.

Just let me know

Hey Wes. Thanks. You’re absolutely right. I added something to my functions.php file.
The following code displays a paralax featured image above all my posts.
Any way to adapt the code below to play nice with your theme and return my Post titles on the blog page?
Cheers!
```
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'singular-parallax-section',
	'name'        => __( 'Singular Parallax Section', 'parallax' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the parallax section below nav on Posts and Pages.', 'parallax' ),
) );

/**
 * Template Redirect
 * Use template_singular-parallax.php for Posts and Pages.
 */
add_filter( 'template_include', 'custom_singular_template', 99 );
function custom_singular_template( $template ) {

	if ( is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) && ! is_front_page() ) {
		$new_template = locate_template( array( 'template_singular-parallax.php' ) );
		if ( '' != $new_template ) {
			return $new_template ;
		}
	}

	return $template;
}
```

Also, just noticed something else…. my home page images aren’t full width. Just tested again with the default image for Widget #5 and it was the same thing.

Any idea why?

Not sure about your Parallax Code/Customization, but I can help with the Background images on the homepage.

To make them full width, remove this from your responsive section –
```
@media only screen and (max-width: 1800px) {
	
	.front-page-1,
	.front-page-4,
	.front-page-5,
	.front-page-7,
	.front-page-9,
	.front-page-12 {
		-webkit-background-size: auto;
		-moz-background-size:    auto;
		background-size: auto;
	}

}
```
Then add background-size: cover; to the area of your CSS that looks like this –
```
	.front-page-1,
	.front-page-4,
	.front-page-5,
	.front-page-7,
	.front-page-9,
	.front-page-12
```
I would be able to tell you the exact line number the code is located on, but you’re using a CSS compressor so it’s all condensed on 1 line. If you’re unable to find the locations I’m referring to, try and disable that plugin temporarily and then I can find out which lines the above code is located on.

Thank you Wes – that fixed it!

Can you also tell me how to use the “portfolio” view within a front page widget to display blog posts? ie. post featured image and excerpt below, with the button pointing to the blog?

Many thanks!

Unfortunately the Portfolio can only be used on a separate page. If you want to include a portfolio in a widget area then it would be best to use a plugin. I haven’t really used any portfolio plugins myself, but there are a lot of them you can try out for free in the WordPress repository – https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-portfolio-pro/
