      Slider problems aside, I noticed as soon as I added the Slider to the Slider widget area, all of my posts (which were visible when previewing before the slider) disappear and the only thing shown on the page are the header text and the slider. When I remove the Slider from the widget area, all the posts again show up in the correct location as well as the right sidebar.

      Any chance these two problems I’ve posted suggest a bad Genesis install or something like that? When I first installed genesis I accidentally activated it, but then I activated the Legacy theme once installed. I assume that’s OK, that activating Genesis wouldn’t accidentally corrupt future theme activations?

        No you didn’t do anything wrong, activating Genesis is just like activating any regular theme and this wouldn’t affect what you’re referring to.

        Nearly all Genesis themes with custom homepages are designed to operate this way. The home.php file uses Genesis (the framework) functionality to show your blog posts if there are no widgets active (meaning no content inside of the widget areas). If you add any content inside of your widget areas, then the home.php file is activated and it will show your homepage widgets and remove the blog posts….that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Here is a tutorial that sort of explains it – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/

          THanks Eric. I’ll give that a shot tomorrow and report back.
