Tag: Genesis Framework

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' );

This weekend I noticed the name of the category wasn’t appearing at the top of the category pages on this site and another site I run, which are both WordPress sites running the Genesis Framework. You’d think this would be default functionality (spoiler: it is, but I never RTFM.)

Here’s a snippet of code to add to your Genesis Framework child theme in order to remove the Website field on your comment form. Add this to the functions.php file in your child theme’s folder.

//* Remove the website field from the comment form
add_filter( 'genesis_comment_form_args', 'url_filtered' ); 
add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'url_filtered' ); 
function url_filtered( $fields ) { 
    if ( isset( $fields['url'] ) ) unset( $fields['url'] ); 
    if ( isset( $fields['fields']['url'] ) ) unset( $fields['fields']['url'] ); 
    return $fields; 
}
