Oh…. Yeah I knew that. Sorry I didn’t think to ask you that. I didn’t see how you had it set-up so I didn’t think of it. Glad you got it worked out

I managed to figure out what was causing the issue with my implementation of this technique.

It looks like we need to follow a slightly different naming convention when creating a sidebar template file. Since we declare the sidebar as “home-sidebar” we need to have a template waiting for it called “sidebar-home-sidebar.php”, and not just “home-sidebar.php”.

A simple fix, but it took some messing around to tease the answer out.

Thanks again for a good tutorial!

We are using the Education child theme that is included with the full Genesis package. And yeah, I can see the widget area on the widgets screen.

Thanks!

Dan first question is are you using the Genesis version of the Education child theme. Next question, you’re seeing the widget area on the widgets screen, just not on your home page?

Hey, thanks for a clearly written tutorial. I’m having trouble getting this to display my widget content on the home page though. I’m using the Education child theme, and I don’t see the widget contents show up. Any Ideas??

I’d say you have too much content still. If you compare your site to Apple’s you’ll see you have 4x the amount of content on your home page. I’d use more images and less text. Also Google does not take that long to index your site. Probably something like 24-48 hours.
