StudioPress

This plugin allows you to create a simple responsive slider that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post.
It includes options for the maximum dimensions of your slideshow, allows you to choose to display posts or pages, what category to pull from, and even the specific post IDs of the posts you want to display. It includes next/previous arrows and a pager along with the option to turn both on or off. Finally, you can place the slider into a widget area.
The slideshow is also responsive and will automatically adjust for the screen it is being displayed on.
Note: This plugin only supports Genesis child themes.
<h3>Child Theme Integration</h3>
To adjust the slider defaults for a child theme use a filter similiar to the following:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'genesis_responsive_slider_settings_defaults', 'my_child_theme_responsive_slider_defaults' );

function my_child_theme_responsive_slider_defaults( $defaults ) {
 $defaults = array(
 'post_type' => 'post',
 'posts_term' => '',
 'exclude_terms' => '',
 'include_exclude' => '',
 'post_id' => '',
 'posts_num' => 5,
 'posts_offset' => 0,
 'orderby' => 'date',
 'slideshow_timer' => 4000,
 'slideshow_delay' => 800,
 'slideshow_arrows' => 1,
 'slideshow_pager' => 1,
 'slideshow_loop' => 1,
 'slideshow_height' => 400,
 'slideshow_width' => 920,
 'slideshow_effect' => 'slide',
 'slideshow_excerpt_content' => 'excerpts',
 'slideshow_excerpt_content_limit' => 150,
 'slideshow_more_text' => '[Continue Reading]',
 'slideshow_excerpt_show' => 1,
 'slideshow_excerpt_width' => 50,
 'location_vertical' => 'bottom',
 'location_horizontal' => 'right',
 'slideshow_hide_mobile' => 1
 );
 return $defaults;
}
</code></pre>

Genesis Responsive Slider

This plugin allows you to create a simple responsive slider that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post.

The Genesis Grid plugin was design to allow users of the Genesis theme to easily display their posts in a grid format.
“Features” are full-width posts at the top of the listing. “Teasers” are the posts broken into columns. You can set the number of Features and Teasers for both the homepage and inner pages, and how many columns the teasers are broken into.
You can also specify the image sizes used for Features and Teasers. I recommend setting Features for Large, and Teasers for Medium. Then go to Settings > Reading and set the dimensions of those images as needed. If you have already uploaded images, use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to rebuild the thumbnails at these dimensions. If images aren’t showing up, make sure you have “Include featured images” checked in Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives
Finally, you can specify where the grid loop is used by checking Home, Category Archives, Tag Archives, Taxonomy Archives, Author Archives, and/or Search Results. See the Developers section for more fine-grained control.
