 * Bill,
    When using with the minimum child theme does this plugin change the home
   page? It’s works for blog etc..just can’t seem to get it to work on home.
 * Thanks
 * Mike

 * The minimum theme is unhooking the main loop and replacing it with its own loop.
   Make the following changes to home.php for it to work: [http://diffchecker.com/7f9X4777](http://diffchecker.com/7f9X4777)

 * Similar issue and question, but for the Lifestyle theme. I’m using a sticky post
   + the Genesis Featured Widget. It’s not displaying as a grid. (URL in reference:
   [http://www.teamzoll.com](http://www.teamzoll.com)) Currently, my home.php looks
   like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
       add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'lifestyle_home_loop_helper' );
   
       /**
        * Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
        *
        */
       function lifestyle_home_loop_helper() {
   
       	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-left' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-right' ) ) {
   
       		dynamic_sidebar( 'home' );
   
       		if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-left' ) ) {
       			echo '<div id="homepage-left">';
       			dynamic_sidebar( 'home-left' );
       			echo '</div><!-- end #homepage-left -->';
       		}
   
       		if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-right' ) ) {
       			echo '<div id="homepage-right">';
       			dynamic_sidebar( 'home-right' );
       			echo '</div><!-- end #homepage-right -->';
       		}
   
       	}
       	else {
       		genesis_standard_loop();
       	}
   
       }
   
       genesis();
       ```
   
 * Halp?

 * Remove all that code from your home.php, so it just has genesis();

 * Hi Bill,
 * Thanks for the response. I removed everything except the genesis(); part of my
   home.php file and when I do so, my home page only displays that single word &
   brackets in plain text – no header, posts, sidebars, theme – nothing. Just “genesis();”
   in plain text on the screen.
 * Is there another solution available? If not, I might have to give up on my Grid
   home page dreams 😉 Thanks for your help.

 * I’m sorry, did you remove the <?php at the top as well? This is what your page
   should look like
 * <?php
 * genesis();
 * The word Genesis should not be visible, as that’s the function that runs the 
   Genesis framework.
