HI,
I don't want the full posts to read when i click on a category/archive page. I thought I clicked on summary in the reading settings but it doesn't work.I have lifestyle pro theme and that's one thing I really need to change, summaries, not full posts

Looks like you've been able to do this one?
Let me know if you still need help though.
@iamnickdavis. I share the best new Genesis stuff weekly at GenesisWP.guide
I also offer Genesis theme setup and Photoshop (PSD) to Genesis conversionsFebruary 22, 2015 at 12:31 am #141718zamanwazMemberI am also trying to add featured image and read more option in my category/archive page. I have read all the tutorials and have also tried to compare the code of all the theme files of lifestyle theme with themes which have the featured images and read more feature. But none of the tutorials and code snippets explain where the featured images and excerpt features are included in a child theme. I have understood that I need to add the image size for the featured images in functions.php which is fine. But which other file do I need to edit in order to include those images in the category or blog pages. There are no category or blog pages in genesis child themes such as lifestyle. Could you please explain in which file did you include the featured images code etc. I need the pointer at least. I will try to do the rest. Hardly 3-4 genesis themes use featured images in blog pages.
February 22, 2015 at 1:12 am #141720zamanwazMemberI cannot edit the post. Kindly disregard it as I just found that the feature to include the featured image was there in the genesis theme settings in each and every theme. That is definitely cool. Never noticed it in all these years.
But I would still appreciate if somebody could inform me where the customizations of individual child themes are present (not the css part). For example, if I need to change the layout of a page in a child theme, where are those customizations made/present. Most of the genesis themes only contain front_page, functions and landing.
Is there a complete customization guide for genesis anywhere? The tutorials here are good but does not go into in-depth customizations. It seems like all the child themes automatically carry a lot of features from the genesis framework. So, an overall exhaustive tutorial of the genesis framework would be awesome.

http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/genesis-explained-the-framework
http://designsbynickthegeek.com/tutorials/genesis-explained-twoThere's also a book by Gary Jones:

And some snippets here:
http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/
If you have the 'all themes' package by StudioPress you can also look at the code in other themes to see how things are achieved, plus finally you can ask on:
- the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/genesiswp/
- on Slack: http://goo.gl/forms/7uQ1IEm5cy
- and of course on here

Nick's genesis posts series are still one of the best ones from what I have seen over the years. He was also one of the most helpful guys here in the forums over the years. But those two articles explain the hooks etc. I know a bit of the hooks and use them (especially with simple hooks) for inserting codes at different places. I also use functions.php for inserting codes on many occasions.
Thanks for the facebook and slack links. I would perhaps need to dig deeper into the Genesis framework. It seems creating custom child themes for individual websites might not be that hard. And as you mentioned, I also dig a bit into the different themes for comparison and would need to dig more and research perhaps. Genesis child themes only use the basic layout and rest all are managed by the framework it seems. This makes basic customizing quite easy though advanced customizations are not always possible due to restrictions of the framework it seems. Thanks once again and this thread might be regarded as solved. 🙂
