Genesis Featured Posts Widget

As I use Genesis more and more, I’m finding nuggets of goodness that are hard not to mention. I had used the Genesis Featured Page in a widget, but then I realized it really needed to be a Featured Post. “Aha, what do we have here in the widget area? Genesis Featured Posts!” Lucky me.

I wanted to show the latest post from a certain category. Sure, I could do some PHP and make it happen. To get the thumbnail in there would be another little step. Show the author gravatar, yeah, I guess with some more code or another plugin. But it’s all right there, already set up in the widgets: drag, drop, config, done.

    Yeah, this is one of the nice features about Genesis. I love the drag and drop feature right on the first page.

      Hi Yves, Do you mean that the text is not wrapping around the image? Maybe your images are not “align left”? That might fix it.

      Do you mean to check the box in the upper right that says, “Show Post Title”? Hopefully that helps.
