<p>The Genesis framework by StudioPress is the leading WordPress theme framework on the market. Unfortunately most of the available child themes have a prebuilt layout for the home page, that can’t be easily customized, unless you are a developer, as it requires dealing with templates, hooks, etc.<br />
On the other side Page Builder by SiteOrigin is a plugin that allows you to create responsive page layouts using widgets with simple drag and drop operations.<br />
You may combine Genesis and Page Builder to build a flexible layout for your home page. To do so you have to configure a static page in your WordPress <code>Reading</code> Settings and build that page using Page Builder, but there are still some caveats when doing this, related to how Genesis handles static pages (page title, layout, styles, etc).<br />
This plugin fills the gap between Genesis themes and Page Builder, providing a quick and ready-made solution to let the two play nicely together.</p>
<p>In particular this plugin does the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds the Page Builder support to the current theme</li>
<li>Adds the <code>Home Page</code> menu under <code>Appearance</code> in WordPress dashboard</li>
<li>Forces the Genesis full width layout for the front page</li>
<li>Replaces Genesis child theme loop with the page content generated with Page Builder</li>
<li>Allows you to control some CSS variations to adjust layout in specific use cases</li>
<li>Supports both Genesis XHTML and HTML5 child themes</li>
</ul>
