This plugin lets you edit the three areas in any Genesis theme: the post-info (byline), the post-meta, and the footer area. Normally, you’d have to get into the PHP files, find the right spot to edit what you’re looking to do, save, upload, check, oops, edit, save, upload, check. Now it’s all in the WordPress admin: click, save, done.

It’s not a huge plugin, but it does a simple function and does it well. I was on the phone the other day with a client, they wanted something changed in the footer. While on the phone, I installed the Simple Edits plugin, activated it, edited the footer, saved, voila. Lovin’ StudioPress.

This plugin creates a new Genesis settings page that allows you to modify the post-info (byline), post-meta, and footer area on any Genesis theme. Using text, shortcodes, and HTML in the textboxes provided in the admin screen, these three commonly modified areas are easily editable, without having to learn PHP or write functions, filters, or mess with hooks.

Here’s the full lo-down on Genesis Simple Edits.
