UPDATE 1/23/2012: The starter theme has been completely rebuilt using the styles and features from Genesis 1.8. I created a new repo (and removed the old one) so the links below have been updated accordingly. Please check out the readme for more information!
This is my personal “starter” theme (base theme) I use when working with a project running the Genesis Framework. It is based on of the Sample child theme by StudioPress with some minor modifications. Feel free to use it as you see fit. Obviously, it requires the Genesis Framework. Suggestions and forks encouraged. The GitHub page contains a bit more information.
Hi Jared
The download link goes to https://github.com/jaredatch/JA-Starter-Genesis-Child-Theme which 404′s
I think it should be https://github.com/jaredatch/JA-Genesis-Child-Theme
Thanks! I ended up creating a new repo for the new version anyways. The link above should work now
Hey Jared,
Tried using your Starter theme and no matter what I put in the widgets for the homepage, nothing shows up. Any thoughts on what’s up? The sidebar widgets work fine, though. Just not the home bottom left/middle/right.
I’m using the newest release of Genesis (1.8, I think it is) on WP 3.1.
No problem.
First make sure you have uncommented the stuff thats in ja_homepage_meta() in home.php
Secondly, you need to register the sidebar areas in the functions.php – you should be able to just drop in this snippet:
/** Homepage Sidebars */
genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'home-bottom-left', 'name' => 'Home Left', 'description' => '' ) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'home-bottom-middle', 'name' => 'Home Middle', 'description' => '' ) );
genesis_register_sidebar( array( 'id' => 'home-bottom-right', 'name' => 'Home Right', 'description' => '' ) );
Yep, and yep, already done.
Hmm, and still no dice?
No dice. :/
Let me reinstall and see what happens ….
By the way- thanks for such quick responses!
No problem, I just tried it on a local setup and it seems to work – http://sht.tl/NFIOm
They are just ugly because there’s not CSS in place by default
AH HA! That did it. Something must have been corrupt in the original file or something. I installed via the WP dashboard previously but this time I FTP’d it in. So, looks like whatever happened is fixed.
Thanks again, though, for being so quick on the replies. That’s what’s so nice about the Genesis community in general – good people, always willing to help!
Now, to style away!
Hi,
What is the purpose of this code
function ja_global_js()If I have a new jquery plugin to be used, do I just leave it or edit those function?
Everything is very open with a really clear explanation of the challenges.
It was definitely informative. Your site is very useful.
Many thanks for sharing!
Hmm… No sidebar widgets in homepage. I see those only when I view a single post.
The bottom left|mid|right shows fine. I have genesis 1.9.2 and wp 3.5.1
