It has been a while since I needed to use a different number of Footer Widgets than the default in the Genesis Sample theme, which is 3. You used to be able to use this:

//* Add support for 2-column footer widgets
add_theme_support( 'genesis-footer-widgets', 2 );

In fact, the above is still in StudioPress’ tutorial for using Footer Widgets, so you could Imagine my surprise when it no longer worked.

Well, I found the answer buried in a post on the Community Forum. The answer is that StudioPress moved the setting that controls this out of the functions.php file and into:

config/theme-supports.php

Here’s a snippet of code that I re-use often. It will display the post’s featured image above the content but under the entry title on the post page and the front page.

/* Display Featured Image on top of the post */ 
add_action( 'genesis_before_entry_content', 'featured_post_image', 8 ); 

function featured_post_image() { 
    if ( ! is_singular( 'post' ) && ! is_front_page() ) 
        return; the_post_thumbnail('post-image'); 
}

Here’s how to remove the Edit link that appears at the bottom of posts and pages when using the Genesis Framework for WordPress.

//* Remove the edit link
add_filter ( 'genesis_edit_post_link' , '__return_false' );
