CobaltApps Genesis Extender

Genesis sites often need changes that a theme's own settings do not cover. Normally that means editing child theme files by hand or stacking several small plugins. Genesis Extender puts those jobs in one place. You can adjust layouts, colors, fonts and other design details through a visual interface, without writing code, and the plugin works with all Genesis child themes.

When you do want to write code, the plugin includes PHP and CSS editors and a tool that maps where Genesis hooks sit in your theme, so you can place code or content exactly where it belongs. You can also create new widget zones and custom content areas. It suits beginners who want to stay out of the code and developers who want a faster workflow.

Features

• Visual layout and style controls: Change layouts, colors, fonts and more through a user-friendly interface, so you can customize a Genesis site without touching any code.
• Frontend CSS builder: Style your site with a live, visual CSS editor that writes the code for you and shows the results in real time as you work.
• Built-in PHP builder: Add custom functionality with an advanced PHP editor inside the plugin, so you do not need separate tools or extra plugins for small code additions.
• EZ Static Homepage creator: Create and manage a static homepage for your site without writing code, which is handy for setting up a landing page.
• Visual hook mapping: See where Genesis framework hooks are located within your theme, which makes it simpler to insert custom code or content in the right spot.
• Custom widget and content areas: Build new widget zones or custom content areas and place them using WordPress conditional tags for targeted display across your site.
• Dynamic content labeling: Organize custom elements and attach them to specific posts or pages, which helps keep site structure and navigation tidy.
• Works with Genesis child themes: The plugin is compatible with all Genesis child themes, so you can use it with whichever design you already have in place.
