  • Could this be modified to use as just as a feature page section, one column, same width as the home bottom section. I need a block of text above the boxes for SEO.

  • Ive dropped a feature page widget below the slider in home-top, but it goes full width. I do have a feature page set up to use, but I could do a text widget instead, just easier to be a page for client editing.

    • You can follow these sections from the above tutorial and make a few other changes for this.

      1) Follow

      Register a custom Home Featured widget area

      and

      Display home-featured widget area’s contents below home-top on the front page

      sections from the above.

      2) Change

      function enterprise_home_featured_widgets() {

    genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured', array(
        'before' => '<div class="home-featured widget-area">',
        'after'  => '</div>',
    ) );

}

      to

      function enterprise_home_featured_widgets() {

    genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured', array(
        'before' => '<div class="home-featured widget-area"><div class="wrap">',
        'after'  => '</div></div>',
    ) );

}

      3) In style.css, above the media queries add:

      .home-featured {
    padding: 40px;
}

.home-featured .widget:last-child {
    margin-bottom: 0;
}

      You can use a Text or HTML or Featured Page or any other kind of widget in the new widget area.

      Give it a try.

      If it sounds confusing to follow, let me know.

      • In frontpage.php you have
        Change
        if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-bottom’ ) ) {
        To
        if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-featured’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-bottom’ ) ) {

        Due to customisations already mine looks like the following
        if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-bottom’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-cta’ ) ) {

        So, I change to the following.. Yes ?
        if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-featured’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-cta’ )||is_active_sidebar( ‘home-bottom’ ) ) {

        Tutorial used https://sridharkatakam.com/add-cta-section-home-bottom-enterprise-pro/
        and the next section, is also different due to
        https://sridharkatakam.com/how-to-show-full-width-soliloquy-slider-in-home-top-section-of-enterprise-pro/

        So this section change from
        function enterprise_home_featured_widgets() {

        genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured', array(
        'before' => '',
        'after' => '',
        ) );

        }
        to the new one, I don’t have that section

        Website is http://stockworx.com.au

        Thanks, and hope that makes sense
