Thanks. I got it to work but I want it to appear above the content, but not full width. I don’t want it to push the sidebar down. I want the widget area to be below the breadcrumbs but above the content box. Do you know how I could accomplish that? Thanks a bunch!
while the text works perfect full width horizontally with your tweak. A slider won’t go in! I get a weird shape slider instead. Here is my website if you want to take a look: http://www.mainlinerealtors.com/blog/
Thanks for the function, I have been looking for it everywhere.
Working fine here. I dragged a Soliloquy slider’s widget into the widget area and it appears fine (other than styling for the caption which needs adjustment)
Thank you for your reply, much appreciated! I am using TouchCarousel and I do not know if that is the actual problem; When I add the slider to a full width page in genesis it displays like this: http://www.mainlinerealtors.com/aaa/ Please do not mind the styling I am aware of it. When I try and add the Carousel to the featured widget hoping to display a full width before the content and sidebar it does not display; Again, I appreciate the help; :-).
Also, Is there a way to remove it from single posts and just leave it on the blog page template? Maybe removing is_singular(‘post’) will do the trick?
The reason for TouchCarousel to appear broken at http://www.mainlinerealtors.com/blog/ is because plugin’s CSS is not loading on that page. You will need to look into that plugin’s settings or contact the author about this. In the meantime, it is possible to observe the CSS for various elements of the slider on the page where it is working and paste those at the end of child theme’s style.css to fix the issue.

Yes.
Change
if ( ! ( is_page_template(‘page_blog.php’ ) || is_singular(‘post’) ) )
Thank you so much for the info; I think the newly added function behave like a widget that is why it is shaped that way, Perhaps I will need to style it 🙂
I will let you know, Thanks again;

Hi Sridhar, how do I add this to a page and not a blog?

Try “genesis_before_loop” hook instead of “genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap”.
See http://genesistutorials.com/visual-hook-guide/sample/.

Awesome, thanks! I’m new to Genesis but I figured there must be a guide like that somewhere. Very useful!

Hi Sridhar, how do I add this to a page and not a blog?
Thanks.
This is great, thank you! I was wondering if there is a way to modify this so that there are two side-by-side widgets at the top? Thank you!
