    Genesis Explained eBook Coming Soon

    Hey folks, I just want to let everyone know about what is going on with the Genesis Explained eBook. I have been editing my Genesis Explained series, finding typos and grammar mistakes, as well as updating the illustrations and examples. I’m about half way through the first revision on the existing articles and I’m mapping…

  • Genesis Explained Admin Class

    Genesis 1.8 introduced a whole new admin system. As I was writing the previous articles in the Admin section of the Genesis Explained series I saw that this system was being updated, so I decided to wait on any further articles until Genesis 1.8 came out and settled in. The new admin system is OOP…

    Genesis Explained Layout Functions

    As promised in my previous post in the Genesis Explained series, I’m going to be going through the genesis/lib/functions/layout.php file today. I intentionally went out of order with this because it is helpful to be familiar with the concept of sidebars and the functions Genesis uses regarding them before trying to understand layouts. There are…

    The last post in the Genesis Explained series was about the options functions and demonstrated some very important functions for retrieving custom fields and theme options from the database.

    In the previous part of the Genesis Explained series I talked about the formatting functions. Fortunately this subseries doesn’t require you to read each of the previous parts, but I would encourage you to read the entire series in order.

    Genesis Explained Formatting Functions

    In the previous post of the Genesis Explained series I touched on a few functions after explaining very quickly what was in each of the files in the functions folder. I’m going to come back to the admin.php file and skip deprecated.php and feed.php. You really shouldn’t use any functions in deprecated.php and there isn’t…

    Genesis Explained Functions

    In previous parts of the Genesis Explained series I talked about actions and filters, but Genesis is so much more than that. One of the great things about Genesis is all the helper functions. Today I am going to very quickly review them then I dig into detail for each individual function. First, lets look…

  • Genesis Explained Framework Filters with Arrays

    Genesis Explained Framework Filters with Arrays

    In the previous two articles I have attempted to explain filters. Since each article builds on the previous article I recommend catching up on the entire Genesis Explained series, and at the very least the filters sub series. The last article dealt with using filters to change “strings,” that is simple text and html phrases.…
