Genesis Simple Page Sections

Easily make full width page sections in Genesis via shortcode. Must be using the Genesis theme framework.

Notes:

• If you use this shortcode on a page, you should enclose all of your content on the page within one or more instances of the shortcode. In order for this plugin to create a full width section, you must specify the page/post layout to be “full width content.”
• Breadcrumbs and other sections dynamically inserted in the inner content section may also stretch to full width, but you can add custom CSS to your theme’s style.css (preferably your child theme’s style.css, or a custom CSS plugin) to accommodate it. You need to get the class or id of the section you do not want to stretch, and assign the properties “max-width: 1200px;” (or whatever width you want the section to be) and “margin: 0 auto;” to it.
• The shortcode syntax [gsps] was added in version 1.2, and it is identical to the [genesis-simple-page-section] syntax. You can use either one, or both.

Basic shortcode syntax:

[gsps color=”orange” width=”960″ outer_class=”” outer_css=”” inner_class=”” inner_css=””]

[/gsps]
