   Can someone give me a clue about genesis plugins. I'm happy with "normal" plugins, but cannot see how to get plugins in to the 'widget' page. I'm going a little crazy....

   thanks in advance

   Genesis plugins only work with genesis themes.

   If it is a plugins that gives you a widget, then the widget shows up under Appearance -> widgets.

   Thanks for the reply. So I need to build a specific Genesis plugin. I have Google, but yet to find a suitable example of how to write the code for the widget, and how to make sure it appears in the list.

   thanks again

   No - I said that any plugin in the repo marke dwith "genesis"will only work with genesis this. ;) This does not mean the reverse.

   If you are just making a widget, the process is the same regardless of theme.

   I missed the point about a widget and a plugin. I have to create a widget which starts:
   class my_Widget extends WP_Widget {
   }
   I found this by reversing engineering, but the link you supplied will make things a lot clearer.

   cheers
