    I have a fresh enterprise theme. I can not put widgets in the top#2 widget area. They are there in the back office even when I refresh. Nothing appears in the slider on the front page though. When I use chrome to view the code, not text widget div is even inside of the element. It’s like the widget area is dead?

     

    Please help.

    Go into home.php and change this

    if ( function_exists( 'wp_cycle' ) )
		wp_cycle();

    to this

    dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-2' );

    Why is that wrong inside of the theme? Why don’t we update it if it’s broken?

     

    I really  REALLY want to support and push Genesis. I don’t understand why there are these little wrinkles though.

    You need to replace the wp-cycle template tag with the sidebar call

    I am sorry. I had to install a fresh theme. I messed that one up. Can you be very specific? I am not a PHP guy.

     

    /**
    * Conditionally add Home Top #1 (home-top-1) sidebar and WP-Cycle.
    */
    function enterprise_home_top_helper() {

    echo ‘<div id=”home-top-bg”><div id=”home-top”><div class =”wrap”>’;

    if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top-1′ ) ) {
    echo ‘<div class=”home-top-1″>’;
    dynamic_sidebar( ‘home-top-1′ );
    echo ‘</div><!– end .home-top-1 –>’;
    }
    echo ‘<div class=”home-top-2″>’;
    if ( function_exists( ‘wp_cycle’ ) )
    wp_cycle();
    echo ‘</div><!– end .home-top-2 –>’;
    echo ‘</div><!– end .wrap –></div><!– end #home-top –></div><!– end #home-top-bg –>’;

    }

    add_action( ‘genesis_meta’, ‘enterprise_home_genesis_meta’ );

     

     

     

    Please rewrite it for me. I am sorry. If you have a phone number/business and can fix this, I will happily pay you.

    I tried this code. I figured, home-top-1 sidebar is showing up on the front page, but sidebar 2 isn’t. This still doesn’t work though.

     

    /**
    * Conditionally add Home Top #1 (home-top-1) sidebar and WP-Cycle.
    */
    function enterprise_home_top_helper() {

    echo ‘<div id=”home-top-bg”><div id=”home-top”><div class =”wrap”>’;

    if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top-1′ ) ) {
    echo ‘<div class=”home-top-1″>’;
    dynamic_sidebar( ‘home-top-1′ );
    echo ‘</div><!– end .home-top-1 –>’;
    }

    if ( is_active_sidebar( ‘home-top-2′ ) ) {
    echo ‘<div class=”home-top-2″>’;
    dynamic_sidebar( ‘home-top-2′ );
    echo ‘</div><!– end .home-top-2 –>’;
    }
    echo ‘</div><!– end .wrap –></div><!– end #home-top –></div><!– end #home-top-bg –>’;

    }

    That should work. But make sure you don’t have fancy quotes in the code. You don’t have a caching plugin activated do you? What’s the URL?

    Nothing wrong with the code you posted other than the fancy quotes.

    Fancy quotes, a.k.a smart quotes and curly quotes, curl or slant. You need straight quotes in code.

    I don’t see where I included the fancy qoutes. The code isn’t working though.

     

    Do you see fancy qoutes in my second code post?
