bbPress and the Genesis Framework are both fantastic additions to any WordPress site. However, depending on your setup they don’t always play nice right away.
bbPress Genesis Extend does some behind-the-scenes tweaks and fixes to make bbPress/Genesis integration as quick and painless as possible.
Additionally, this plugin also:
<ul>
<li>Adds option for a forum specific sidebar</li>
<li>Adds option to control the layout of your forum, separate from Genesis</li>
<li>Adds Genesis Layout Controls for Forums</li>
<li>If a forum has a specific layout set, all topics in that forum will use that layout.</li>
<li>Adds Genesis SEO Controls for Forums</li>
<li>Adds option to disable bbPress Forum and Topic descriptions.</li>
</ul>
The forum sidebar and layout options are located on the Genesis Settings page, look for ‘bbPress’.

Hi Jared,
I just HAD to chime in and give you some props for this plugin! It saved my day!
I was seeing some very strange behavior when setting up my bbPress forum within a Genesis Child theme and started Googling only to find that you've solved the issues with your plugin.
Many thanks for making this available to the community!



Excellent options for using bbPress with a Genesis Child theme. Awesome!

Ran into a strange conflict where the main forum index page (/forums) was not displaying correctly on several Genesis themes. This plugin solved the issue. 

Thank you!!!!

Solved my issue

Provides basic compatibility with bbPress and the Genesis Framework with a few extra goodies.

Genesis Featured Page Advanced is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built to solve a problem that will soon no longer exist. The advent of block themes utilizing the Site Editor has made traditional widgets irrelevant. Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed.
An advanced version of the Genesis – Featured Page widget, this plugin allows you to add a custom image, custom content, page excerpt, and more.
Genesis Featured Page Advanced is only for Genesis Framework users. Genesis is a premium product of <a href="http://www.studiopress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">StudioPress</a>, which has no affiliation with this plugin.
