Hi josh,
Thanks for answering. I followed you tutorial but the page which were set to the default page somehow load the new landingspage layout? I have to select the one column page template for each page?

I am testing with a clean setup

Regards

Alex, we’re only adding templates here. So the child theme will still use the parent theme’s set of templates. So you can still use 2010′s default template for normal pages.

Hi Josh,

Trying out your tutorial, but activating the child theme would mean my whole website has the “landingspage” theme, right??

Or is your starting point just an one page website??

I am just starting out with child themes

The child theme should show up in the Appearance>themes menu, activate it there.

How do I activate the child theme? I am unable to activate. I’m assuming I’m missing some minor step. Please help.

Yes, there is…to reverse the loop here simply change line 12 to:

$loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'special', 'posts_per_page' => 20, 'order' => 'ASC' ) ); ?>

Also as info, the genesis_get_custom_field only has one argument being passed. From options.php.
function genesis_get_custom_field($field) { global $post;


	if ( null === $post ) return FALSE;
	$custom_field = get_post_meta($post->ID, $field, true);

if ( $custom_field ) { // sanitize and return the value of the custom field return wp_kses_stripslashes( wp_kses_decode_entities( $custom_field ) ); } else { // return FALSE if custom field is empty return FALSE; } }

Is there a way to reverse the loop so the oldest appear first and the newest last?

Thank you very much for sharing this! This was exactly what I needed to build my custom page template!! I used Brad Williams's Custom Post Type UI to build my custom post types. Then I used Custom Fields Template to build my admin side entry boxes. Then for the genesis_get_custom_field($arg, true); I had to make sure that my custom field names aligned though I like your custom method better. It was just easier to do it this other way so I could skip Devin Price’s step by step tutorial. Awesome post!!
