[…] on Sunday, February 16, 2014: Here is the latest version of this tutorial applicable for Outreach […]
Sridhar, this is so kind of you to post up! Really appreciate it. Am off to give it a whirl now and will let you know how it goes. Just have to remove my earlier code back to the original so it’s a level playing field to start with. Keep you posted. Tnx.
update: it worked like a dream, so can’t thank you enough for this Outreach slider tut update. I was halfway along the right lines but lacked the tables and the finesse of that last step – the CSS coding. I have learnt a lot by working through your custom code here, and will go pass on the tut link to the other StudioPress forum enquirer stuck with needing to split the slider. Many thanks Sridhar!
I’m getting an error; seems I may have done something wrong in step 2. Was I supposed to replace the whole line with your code? Mine started with “if ( is_ ” – when I remove the if and open ( I get an error, when I leave it I get an error. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi Sridhar – thanks so much for your awesome tutorials. You are my go-to guy for help with Genesis.
I do have a question for you on the CSS in this example. What is the purpose of the padding-top styles in line 21 and 22? Wouldn’t line 22 cancel out line 21?
Thanks again!
You are right. I’ve deleted “padding-top: 3rem;” and updated the post.
Can i check step 2 pls.
My line of code has more to it than what you have above.
Mine is
if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top’ ) || is_active_sidebar( ‘home-bottom’ ) ) {
If i replace with yours, and continue i get errors.
Pls advise
Thanks.
Right. In that you just replace
is_active_sidebar( 'home-top' )
with the suggested code.Any thoughts on how to add a top 1/3 left and 2/3 right widget area like this as a new widget area on any child theme? I’ve been trying to add this to the top of the Streamline Pro theme, but I don’t have the chops to make it happen.
Another great tutorial! Can you do a tutorial that covers the same thing in Infinity Pro’s front page widget area #1?
Done.

Hi Sridhar,
Thanks for the great tutorial. I’m struggling to get my slider image to work though. What size should the slider be set to? You can see my staging site here: http://staging2.ibsltd.ca/
