Hi Brandon,

Amazing! Thank you so much :0) I really appreciate your willingness to give your time to respond to this thread.

I have successfully applied code changes to:

http://www.wilddigital.co.uk/ (woop! woop!)

But the same process has not worked for:

http://www.ecoe.org.uk/

Any clues as to why this might be would be very much appreciated :0)

As for my site, (Wild Digital), I really appreciate you not telling me precisely what to do when I discovered the code as described in your last response, (in full below). Whilst I found it perplexing at first it forced me to think for myself, and although I was more than a little scared of applying what I surmised would deliver the fix, the feeling of elation when it worked was wonderful! This has, for sure, increased my confidence where code is concerned, and I am immensely grateful. Thank you!

I advise everyone who visits this thread with the same issue to give it a go without reading the following. Only resort to what follows if you really come unstuck :0)

My first issue was that I couldn’t see numbered lines of code in the Editor. I didn’t really want to use FTP, (as I have managed to avoid facing this challenge thus far), and so I looked for a work around.

I found a great plugin: WP Editarea
After installing and activating it all I had to do was go to settings and check the ‘WP Editarea Enable’ box at the beginning of the list
and then click ‘Update Settings’

This gave me numbered lines of code to work with.

Code: 1507 to 1520 revealed two instances of something being ‘hidden’

#footer-widgets {
background: url(images/gray-texture.jpg);
clear: both;
margin: 0 0 20px;
padding: 25px 0;
overflow: hidden;
}

#footer-widgets .wrap {
font-size: 13px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 960px;

Removing ‘overflow: hidden;’ in both instances allows the Genesis eNews Extended Plugin to work on the front page of a Gensis site running the Balance Child Theme…. in most instances!

Happy days!

Hi Brandon,

I have an issue that is a variation on the above theme! I’m also using Balance and have your lovely mail opt-in on every page of my site aside from the homepage. I’m not too technical and so cannot figure out why this may be. However, I’m aware that the homepage is configured differently to all others in that it is designated as the static landing page.

My website is http://www.wilddigital.co.uk

I’d appreciate your feedback.

All the very best for 2014!

Best,
Rachel

P.S. The ‘submit’ button you refer to in a previous response within this thread, (default ‘GO, I believe), shows up in Balance if my website is anything to go by :0)
