Genesis Layout Extras

Screenshots

Among the Top 7 most downloaded Genesis plugins ever ðŸ™? Thank you! With this lightweight plugin for the popular Genesis Framework you can very easily modify the (registered) default layouts for homepage, singular pages (for posts and pages), various archive sections, author pages, attachment pages, search results pages, the 404 page – all done via a new theme options page. Just look for it at the submenu: Genesis > Layout Extras. Version 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite regarding code optimizations and also new features: The plugin now optionally adds up to nine (9!) additional layouts. Also, you can optionally add Layouts meta box support for post types inpost screens which don’t have it yet. Plus, Genesis Archive Settings for post types could be enabled as well. As a smart bonus the plugin also includes the layout setting for the bbPress 2.x forum plugin which itself is compatible to Genesis. Also added is the layout setting for other plugins from the Genesis ecosystem or other third-party authors: for example AgentPress Listings which includes the custom post type ‘listings’ and the taxonomy ‘features’. Just have a look on the below listings for full explanation. Please note: The plugin requires the Genesis Theme Framework (GPL-2.0+), a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ Rainmaker Digital LLC (former Copyblogger Media) (via studiopress.com). WordPress 4.6+ Info If you update to WordPress 4.6 or higher, please make sure, you update BEFORE to Genesis 2.3.1 or higher! Otherwise you’ll get error — this has nothing to do with our plugin only with base Genesis but we want you to have safe update procedure of course. Layout extras plugin has been tested compat with WP 4.6.

Future Roadmap for Genesis Layout Extras Adding more supported plugins that come with post types If it makes sense, maybe even add more layout options… When needed, adding more supported child themes In general, improving the code and overall user experience Hopefully, I can even offer more translations in future ðŸ™?

Further, the plugin uses WordPress and Genesis Framework APIs and coding standards to the highest possible extend. Just to make sure you get a quality, future-proof product. Idea Behind / Philosophy: I had liked the general approach of the former plugin (I forked from) – which provided a simple and great way to set a few needed options. Since it seemed no longer to be developed and updated I just decided to make a fork of it and add some additional functionality like setting the layout setting for the (awesome!) bbPress 2.x forum plugin in Genesis. And, I wanted this all on an extra options page, divided from the general Genesis settings because that is much more user friendly IMHO. In addition I added full inline documentation including the contextual help function provided by WordPress itself to create a more seamless user experience. Credits Among the Top 7 most downloaded Genesis plugins ever ðŸ™? Thank you all users and translators! Thanks for all user feedback that led to improvements in the plugin! Big thanks to all Genesis users, developers and bloggers who reviewed the plugin on their websites/ blogs! Credit where credit is due: This plugin here was first based on the work of WPChildThemes for the great “Genesis Layout Manager” plugin. Now, nearly two years and a dozen updates later the basic function is still there but the code totally refactored…! ðŸ™? Last but not least Special Thanks go out to my family for allowing me to do such spare time projects (aka free plugins) and supporting me in every possible way!
