Found the problem! It was a missing ” !!
I checked my code and can’t find any problems? Not sure what’s going on. I am currently only have one widget enabled under my slider where I am trying to add 3 images that are linked to different pages. Here’s the code:

Doh! and here’s me thinkin’ it’s goign to be some sort of complex customization! Thanks 馃檪
Hi, sorry to hijack your thread but can I ask how you added the background image? Looks great!
Hi Wes,
Yes that worked and looks great on the mobile, but now it’s got a extra padding underneath creating a grey space between the header and slider and the whole nav menu bottom aligned rather than centered?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?
Thank you so much!
Thanks Dave!! That worked a treat 馃檪
Hi William,
You can find all the documentation to set your site up exactly as the demo by looking at the top of these forums at the sticky threads that Wes has posted and here: https://appfinite.com/tutorials/
Hi, thanks for the response, these are widgets home feature 1 left and home feature 2 right so i have just been fiddling with the code for those widgets.
It’s looking a little better now but still not very centered and it now looks bad on my ipod. Any ideas?
When I add a defined width is messes everything up on the ipod.

Hi, thanks for all the help so far, I have managed to change the color now but I cannot figure out the best way to get the text and input boxes looking evenly spaced across the page whilst still looking good on model, everything I do either makes it look good on the web but not on mobile or the other way around. Right now there is too much space in the middle between the text and the input boxes how can I edit that but still keep it looking good on mobile?
Hi Scooby thanks for the reply but I am still a little confused. It’s great to know it can be done but I am not sure what I am editing exactly? Do I just add something in?
Thanks
Abigail
Sorry, I meant could I also add the Spanish text in the welcome wide code where the Mail Chimp form code currently is and then add something that will only make that appear on the Spanish homepage.
To make it work for both languages I had to duplicate all the widgets and set up a second homepage but I can’t remember how to duplicate the widgets. The best way around it would be to literally duplicate the welcome wide widget (so one would be welcome wide the other welcome wide english) so I could add a unique opt in for each with different languages but how do I do that again..?
Thanks!
Abigail
Hi Eric, thanks so much that’s awesome! It’s looking great now. The only other thing I am having trouble with is changing the language for the Spanish and English homepage. Currently the text is added through the Mail Chimp code in the welcome wide widget but I was wondering is there an easy way to add the Spanish text in the css and make that show up on the Spanish homepage?
Thanks, I seriously LOVE this theme!
Oops I forgot, here is my site: http://www.minovalleyfarmsanctuary.org
I have actually just scrapped the slider and just inserted it as an image in the slider widget now, seemed easier. I would still love to know all the answers to the three questions above though as I am currently developing another site using this theme and want to achieve all of those things.
Thanks!
I just realized that I don’t know how to make the slide image 100% width. I added this
.slider-inner {
margin: 0 auto !important;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 0 0px !important;
width: 100%;
}
to the genesis-slider in the css but it still is cutting off my image and leaving me with a gap on the left hand side. See here: http://www.minovalleyfarmsanctuary.org
Is there anyway you can walk me through how to go about making to seperate divs so I can achieve different colors?
Hi Eric,
I can see what you are talking about but I don’t understand how to create 2 separate divs to achieve what I am after, or where to even put them. Ahhh!
Well I’ve managed to make the changes to the color but it has changed both the welcome wide widget and the welcome features 1,2,3. I want to just change the color of the welcome wide widget?
The last thing you said was this: “Yes take a look at the code in your home.php file and separate the code (using html as it appears in the widgets)鈥hen make the changes to those ID鈥檚 or Classes in your css file”
But I have no idea how to do this, or even where to start.
Thanks
Hi, Is there any chance you could explain this to me? I still have gotten nowhere with it.
Thanks!
Hi Eric, I am a little confused as to how to go about doing this? Sorry to be a pain but could you walk me through it?
Thank you!!!
Abigail
Hi Eric, ok I added that separation in, but it is changing the color for both the welcome wide widget and the welcome features 1,2,3. Is there any way to just change the color of the welcome wide widget? So I can have this as a horizontal opt in that stands out from the widgets below, because right now it is just blending in?
Thanks
Abigail
Hi, thanks so much for the help. I am finally getting there!! The edits to the image worked a treat. How do I separate that code to make a unique change to only the welcome wide widget? I googled around a bit but couldn’t quite figure out how to do it?
Also while you’re here, how do I edit the height of the widget? I want the optin bar to be pretty slim so want to get rid of any extra room above and below?
Thanks!!
Hi Eric, I have re-added the image so you can see what is happening. It’s pretty awful so I hope you look at this quickly. The image is actually only saved as 100px x 100px as a .png
Also I need to know how to change the background color. I checked one of the old threads where you said to change the css code under #welcome for background but like the other commenters sad it didn’t work, because I guess another piece of code is overriding it somehow.
Thanks for your help!
Thank you so much! Everything is working great now!
Thanks Wes, I have sorted it now!!
Also for some reason the text (which I haven’t added any code to make it clickable) is underlined when you hover over it which I don’t want either.
Hi
Here is a link – http://minovalleyfarmsanctuary.org
You can see what I mean in the brown widget below the picture of the tipi and in the little icons of animals and the logo in the footer, also it is doing the same thing to the writing next to the images. I never made the text linkable but it is doing it anyway.
What code should I be using?
When I tired to add the code here to show you what I was using all the text below my code had become clickable? Very strange, New to all this so could just be using some weird code!
Thanks
Abigail
Hi Eric, thanks so much for all your help I really appreciate it. WMPL did say that they were聽compatible聽with Genesis so there must be a way to get around this (there customer support sucks though). I have renamed the home.php now and made it a template, created two pages and used the same template twice, but I still don’t understand how to use the custom sidebars plugin properly.
I have downloaded the plugin but have no idea what to do next. I have played around with it but not sure how it really works and there isn’t much documentation on using it.
Is there any chance you could advise me on what what to do with this plugin. The home page template I have created currently is featuring all the widgets that I have added code for in the widgets menu, when I make edits here it changes on both homepages and I don’t understand how to make unique changes here that would work for two individual pages?
Maybe I need to duplicate the widgets and also make a new template for the second homepage. Is this possible? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks!
Hi Eric, that plugin does seem to be better but I am still running into problems. With WPML I am using the extension .org/en for the聽English聽version of my site. When using the plugin org./en is recognized as the聽English聽homepage and it wont let me create a new page and assign it this extension it will only let me have .org/en/home for example. So am feeling a bit stuck. I have used this plugin with another theme but it is the way that the homepage is built with this theme that is causing the issues.
Not really sure where to go from here?
Also I am not sure how this would work whilst keeping the settings of each widget ie, the gray/white/color boxes? Maybe adding the same widgets and renaming the would be easier? But then how would you edit them so they knew which home page to appear on?
The Genesis simple sidebars plugin only seems to let you work with the primary and secondary sidebar so not sure how the widgets would show up in the correct place using this?
Ok these instructions are great, I have managed to copy the home.php and made it into a template and everything seems to be working a treat, but now I am stuck on changing the widgets. I downloaded the simple sidebars plugin but am at a loss of where to go from here. I cannot figure out how to display different widget content for this page specifically..?
I guess I am wondering how do you have two homepages when the home page is a .php and created with widgets? Is there any way to duplicate this for a second language? What is the easiest way to do this. Thanks!
