Thanks Eric
When I copy the front-page.php (page-home.php) file and turn it into a template and assign that template to a page (page-x) and then populate a widget area, I do get the front page and page-x turning into a landing page; however, the css on page-x is screwed up. This is odd as it should be calling the same css as the front landing page – so something is amiss.
Furthermore, when I create separate widget areas on a page-x template (and register them in the functions.php file of course) and then populate them, page-x does not show ANY content and I do not know why.
I had emailed a job/quote request to Wes to create a separate php file that would strip out the if/then structure (if a widget area is occupied then…) and have it as an available template to assign to a page that would turn it into a landing page that would look the same as the Aspire theme landing page. I could then clone that file and create (and register) new widget areas and apply the cloned file to another page and have yet another landing page (rinse and repeat) – but I never heard back from him.
I can see that this is a simple task but the code is all Greek to me.
Thanks kronos – I forgot about activating the excerpts in the Genesis Theme Settings. I use the manual excerpt box and found some php code to automatically enable a “Read more…” link to the article in case anyone needed it:
// Add read more link after both manual excerpts and regular excerpts add_filter('the_excerpt', 'add_manual_excerpt_read_more_link'); function add_manual_excerpt_read_more_link($output) { global $post; return substr($output,0,-5).'<br><a class="more-link readmorebtn" href="' . get_permalink($post->ID) . '">Read more...</a></p>'; }Cheers!
Thanks Eric!
Ah. The upgrade is available through StudioPress in your user account area (here).
What is the process of updating – the update currently fails because there is already a theme called Epik. Delete or rename the old folder?
Also, are there any plans, Wes, to automate this process and to have updates available through the WP updates on our sites? At least some process of notification that an update is available or is this problematic with child themes?
Keep up the genius on Genesis Wes 馃檪

I often discover the answer just after posting:
Slides –> Layer –> Other Options –> Distance and adjust the value up (from the default -1).
Thanks for looking 馃檪
Thanks – got it to work.
November 19, 2013 at 4:40 am in reply to: Epik Home Page (Rows and Slider) Style Applied to Other Pages #8991The issue of how to create pages that look like the widgetized home page (the one with the slider and full rows vs the loop).
The home.php file is designed to automatically convert the home page into a static front page with slider and full-width rows. If I turn the home.php file into a page template (with the “// Template Name: Home” line after the <?php) and then apply that page template to another page and move content into one of the widget boxes, both the front page AND the page I converted via the page template get changed simultaneously.
How could you use the plugin to affect a change on that one page (the one assigned the new Page Template) and not the home page?
November 17, 2013 at 12:27 pm in reply to: Epik Home Page (Rows and Slider) Style Applied to Other Pages #8954Thanks kronos – did you manage to use this particular plugin specifically for the above issue?
November 16, 2013 at 5:49 am in reply to: Epik Home Page (Rows and Slider) Style Applied to Other Pages #8932Thanks teamweb and kronos
Yes, that link was perfect, kronos. Have you used those plugins (Genesis Simple Sidebars or the Custom Sidebar) since you answered this question back in May and if so, do you recommend one over the other?
