Just tried it and it worked like you said! Thanks for all the help man!! Now i gotta get my graphic guys on uploading larger images to fit it.
I see 2.0 is out!! =)
rick_fkMemberThanks i will try it then later in morning. I appreciate all the help.
rick_fkMemberBrad,
Well just to make sure i understand your reply the solution will only work if i upgrade and follow the 3 steps you posted before in #54440?
It will not work if i just follow the 3 steps??
I was hoping there would be an easier solution. I'm starting to think that maybe i should update to a newer responsive themes and wait until the official 2.0 update.
I also have some plugins that i heard are having issues with the 2.0 beta so waiting might be the case.
Thanks though.
rick_fkMemberSo what would be the alternative? Still a little confused. At the moment i'm a shy away from updating since i have other plugins that might be affected.
I did a little youtube research and noticed that on some examples there is a "Home - Top", "Home - Right" Widgets. I only have a "Homepage" Widget are these the ones you were referring to that can be created?
I'm guessing if i somehow figure out how to create the Home Top Widget then i can drag DCG there and make it kind of like the "content before sidebar" hook you were referring to before?
Then on the other "HomePage" Widget i can have the "Featured Widget Amplified" ( for the blog). Then put the twitter and instagram on the Primary Sidebar Widget??
I didn't think this would of been as much work as i thought but i am eager to get to a resolution.
Thanks
Rick
rick_fkMemberBrad,
Thanks again for all the help and very quick replies. Now i'm a little worried about updating to the 2.0 Beta as i only work on the production site. Don't know how much more work would entail testing out locally.
I just made a new install of wordpress and genesis within the last couple of month since I transferred web-hosts to bluehost. I don't remember making any changes to the theme code. I think i had to add a line or two for the jet pack, woo commerce items to work. But thats about it.
Apologies for more requests but is there an alternative without updating to 2.0 just yet?
rick_fkMemberOk i was a little worried about updating with the retired Platinum child theme but if you believe that is the best way to go then i'm willing to try it out.
I'm on wordpress 3.5.1 should i update to 3.6 first??
Also where do i update to 2.0 i'm on Genesis 1.9.2 and Platinum 1.0.1I don't see the 2.0 update in my dashboard.
Thanks again
Rick
rick_fkMemberI thought i had the DCG in my Homepage widget but it looks to be in my home.php. I'm guessing this was automatically done since this is one of the older retired themes??
I'm still new to hooks and widgets but i'll try the code you provided. Where would i put the code in??
Below is my home.php.
<?php get_header(); ?> <?php genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap(); ?> <div id="content-sidebar-wrap"> <?php genesis_before_content(); ?> <div id="content" class="hfeed"> <?php // checks to see if the Dynamic Content Gallery plguin is enabled - if it isn't, nothing will diplay ?> <?php if (function_exists('dynamic_content_gallery')) : ?> <div id="dynamic-content-gallery"> <div class="widget"> <h4><?php _e("Featured Stories", 'genesis'); ?></h4> <div class="wrap"> <?php dynamic_content_gallery(); ?> </div><!-- end .wrap --> </div><!-- end .widget --> </div><!-- end #dynamic-content-gallery --> <?php endif; ?> <div id="featured-home"> <?php if (!dynamic_sidebar('Homepage')) : ?> <div class="widget"> <h4><?php _e("Homepage", 'genesis'); ?></h4> <div class="wrap"> <p><?php _e("This is a widgeted area which is called Homepage. It is using the Genesis - Featured Posts widget to display what you see on the Platinum child theme demo site. To get started, log into your WordPress dashboard, and then go to the Appearance > Widgets screen. There you can drag the Genesis - Featured Posts widget into the Homepage widget area on the right hand side. To get the image to display, simply upload an image through the media uploader on the edit page screen and publish your page.

Thanks again

rick_fkMemberHi Brad,
I'm attaching a screenshot of what happens when i increase the size to 900X400 in the Dynamic Content Gallery Settings in the Dashboard. There is a Gallery width and height setting in the Gallery CSS tab.
As you can see the gallery width and height increased but the "Featured Stories" area didn't increase with it. It also is overlapping to the sidebar section where i have the instagram and twitter plug ins.
To answer your questions.
I want it be how it is displayed in the screen shot. Except I just want to shift the Instagram and Twitter sidebar plugins below it. Ideally those plugins will be aligned with the "Fatkid Times" area.Homepage only.
It will be the same images you see there currently just with the size increased. They usually link to a post i created that directs them to the item in the shop.
Edit: i couldn't find where i could upload a screenshot image so i uploaded it to TinyPic.

rick_fkMemberBumping this post as i haven't been able to find a resolution. My site is in the link below
It is also taking very long to load which is a separate issue. i believe it is either the ISP or one of my plugins.
rick_fkMemberI'm having a similar issue. Before in my home page i had the links on the bottom to see the other blog posts. Now after i updated i don't see it at all. I set to show the latest five posts but i would like the links on the bottom to see more posts.
Please help
