The folks over at Rocketgenius just released a new video showcasing their premier product, Gravity Forms. I try to promote this plugin, and I use it on all my sites and my client sites. It is difficult to explain, since it is so much more than just a contact form generator. Gravity Forms is a fully integrated forms solution. I think they really … [Read more...]
Genesis Explained Admin
First, this summer was great, but very busy, hence the long wait before starting this section. If you haven't been reading along, you should go back to the beginning of the Genesis Explained series, though most of the information you need for understanding the admin side of Genesis will be discussed within this section. Please note, this … [Read more...]
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 9 … [Read more...]
Genesis Explained Widgetize Functions
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. This article is all about the genesis/lib/functions/widgetize.php file. There is really only one function you will be using in the theme, but there is some … [Read more...]
Genesis Explained Option Functions
In the last post in the Genesis Explained series I explained the image functions for Genesis. In this post I'll be going through the genesis/lib/functions/options.php file. There are technically 7 functions in the file, but one is part of a filter and half the remaining values really just echo the "get" value for you, so it really makes for 3 … [Read more...]

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. I mentioned in the previous article that I was going to skip a few files and jump into the … [Read more...]
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 much use to the feed.php … [Read more...]
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 at the files. Just like everything … [Read more...]
Child Theme Tutorial Wish List
I've hinted at this a few times in the Genesis Explained tutorial, but the next series will be on building a child theme start to finish. I'm not starting the series right now, still a few posts in the Genesis Explained Series, but I'm planning the child theme. That is where you come in. Until the Child Theme Creation series is done I will … [Read more...]
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. I demonstrated … [Read more...]
