      I was looking for how to set up the category pages and found tutorial on setting up portfolio pages. So far so good, however when I click on any of the categories on my blog sidebar http://scottadennison.com/marketing-blog/ it doesn’t show the portfolio page, but rather shows them on a full width template.

      I think all things considered I’d choose to show categories on the same page as my blog index, not full width as it is now. But how??

        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.

          Thank you Kronos for clearing that up – how do I select a content/sidebar layout for the category template in Epik?

            Download this plugin and you won’t have to add or edit any code – http://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-layout-extras/ …it will show under the Genesis Menu when you hover over it in the admin.
