    First off… I love this theme. I’ve been searching for a good theme for a while and finally found GeneratePress. I appreciate all that you have done.

    I have everything up and running as expected. My homepage is set to display “Your latest posts”. This is working wonderfully. The thing I can’t get to work is that on my homepage I want to add a little promo section right above the posts and below the menu bar. Much like what you have on http://www.generatepress.com above the “The Perfect Starting Theme For WordPress” text. I’ve been trying all sorts of things for hours and I cannot figure it out. Can you please point me in the right direction?

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi Robert,

    I used the Page Header addon to add that content below my header.

    Let me know if you need any help setting it up πŸ™‚

    Thanks… I will check it out. On a related question. If I buy the add-on now for $5 and later I decide I want to buy the “Super Package”, does that $5 count toward the $20 “Super Package”?

    The Super Package counts towards GP Premium – but the individual addons don’t count towards either.

    Let me know if you have any questions πŸ™‚

    I may have something like what you are talking about above my posts. http://www.elt.international
    My “tagline” is just a line displayed with the Before Header hook. On this particular site, the header and tagline are hidden.

    Okay, I’ve bought the Page Header addon and activated it, but I can’t figure out how to get it on my home page. I can see how to add it to a regular post and page… but I can’t figure out the home page. I think I just don’t know where to look. Can you point me in the right direction?

    Hi Robert,

    Is your homepage a blog?

    If so, the Page Header addon won’t work on the blog page itself.

    However, I can help you add it to the blog if you have the GP Hooks addon.

    Let me know πŸ™‚

    Yes, my homepage is a blog. I think I’ll pass on buying another plugin at this time. Can you just deactivate it and issue me a refund?

    Thanks

    Hi Robert,

    Absolutely – I’m working on a blog Page Header, but it’s not ready yet.

    Will issue your refund right now.

    Cool. If you put me on your email list… when the blog post header addon is ready let me know. If I’m still using your theme I will be your first buyer for the addon.

    Thanks again Tom

    Sounds good – what were you hoping to use Page Header for? Just an image or with content as well?

    I am also interested in adding a slider image above the Blog Homepage. I am using meta slider with shortcodes, I assume I create a PHP container in GP hooks with the shortcode in it? Thanks!

    That’s correct, you would do this in the “After Header” hook.

    <?php if ( is_home() ) : ?>
    <div class="grid-container grid-parent">
          YOUR SHORTCODE IN HERE
    </div>
    <?php endif; ?>

    Then make sure “Execute PHP” is checked.

    Let me know if you need more guidance πŸ™‚
