Genesis Layout Extras – Default Layouts in Genesis for WordPress

Among the Top 10 most downloaded Genesis plugins ever 🙂 Thank you!
<h4>👉 Set Default Layots in Genesis</h4>
With this lightweight plugin for the popular Genesis Framework you can very easily modify the (registered) default layouts for homepage, singular pages (for posts and pages), various archive sections, author pages, attachment pages, search results pages, the 404 page &#8211; all done via a new admin settings page. Just look for it at the submenu: Genesis &gt; Layout Extras.
Also, you can optionally add Layouts meta box support for post types inpost screens which don&#8217;t have it yet. Plus, Genesis Archive Settings for post types could be enabled as well.
As a smart bonus the plugin also includes the layout setting for the bbPress 2.x forum plugin which itself is compatible to Genesis. Also added is the layout setting for other plugins from the Genesis ecosystem or other third-party authors: for example AgentPress Listings which includes the custom post type &#8216;listings&#8217; and the taxonomy &#8216;features&#8217;. Just have a look on the below listings for full explanation.
Please note: The plugin requires the Genesis Theme Framework (GPL-2.0+), a paid premium product released by StudioPress/ WPEngine, Inc. (via studiopress.com).

<h4>🚀 Personal Note from Developer (2018)</h4>
Please note, this plugin lives on, it is far from &#8220;dead&#8221;! I could not maintain it the last 5 years (August 2013 until August 2018), as I had personal issues keeping me from it. However, the plugin worked very well in almost all cases over the years, that is due to the super stable Genesis Framework.
UPDATE Is Out! Yes, the update v2.1.0 is finally out (you are on its readme just now). The plugin will get further maintenance and development.
