Overview
Genesis sites can call for layout and style changes, custom content areas, or code placed in specific parts of a theme. Genesis Extender provides tools for making those adjustments, including a visual CSS builder, PHP and CSS editors, and a hook mapping tool. This gives beginners and experienced developers a place to manage common customization tasks.
The plugin also includes an EZ Static Homepage creator for building and managing a static homepage. Users can create widget zones and content areas, then assign them using WordPress conditional tags. A dynamic content labeling system lets site owners attach custom elements to specific posts or pages, supporting more tailored layouts across a Genesis Framework site.
Features
- Visual CSS builder: Adjust site styles in a visual editor that writes CSS and displays changes in real time.
- PHP and CSS editors: Use built-in PHP and CSS editing tools to add custom functionality and styling to a Genesis site.
