Often it is prudent to force a page layout, especially the home page.
Within Genesis, the guidance is fairly scant

But with no real guidance how do you use it?
Firstly, you may want this to apply to the front page or a specific template.
In which case just add it to your front_page.php or page_template.php, but it needs to be hooked to genesis meta (they forget to tell you this

<?php //* Do NOT include the opening php tag add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'bw_home_genesis_meta' ); function bw_home_genesis_meta() { // Force content-sidebar layout setting add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' ); } |
Some times, you may want to be more ‘conditional’ and hence you could apply similar logic in your functions.php, in the following I am using a priority of 11, because I know the front_page template forces a lyout and by using a higher priority than the default (10) my functions.php will take priority

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'bw_force_layout' ); function bw_force_layout() { if (is_home() || is_front_page()) { add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_sidebar_content_sidebar' ,11); } } |
