If you open the genesis folder, you’ll find several files contain a genesis();
tag at the end of the file.
These files, which are located in the root directory of the genesis folder, all contain the genesis();
tag.
- 404.php
- index.php
- page.php
- page_archive.php
- page_blog.php
- search.php
- single.php
You’ll also find most child themes built on Genesis, also contain the genesis();
tag in templates files like the:
- front-page.php
- home.php
- page_landing.php
- archive-portfolio.php
- single-portfolio.php
If you go to genesis/lib/framework.php and open the framework.php file, you’ll find all the code which makes up the genesis();
function.
Basically the genesis();
function contains 3 key components:
- 2 WordPress functions
- HTML 5 & XHTML markup
- 7 action hooks
1. WordPress Functions
2 WordPress functions get_header(); and get_footer(); which include both the header.php and footer.php template files.
You can view both these template files in the genesis/lib/structure folder.
2. Markup
The markup for the main content area and content sidebar wrap classes.
Includes both HTML 5 selector classes for the new Pro themes and XHTML I.D classes for older themes.
3. Action Hooks
7 action hooks you can use to add content before and after the loop.
do_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap' );
do_action( 'genesis_before_content' );
do_action( 'genesis_before_loop' );
do_action( 'genesis_loop' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_loop' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_content' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_content_sidebar_wrap' );
One of these hooks is the genesis loop: do_action( 'genesis_loop' );
.
Attached to the genesis_loop hook are several custom loops you can view in the genesis/lib/structure/loops.php file.
The custom loops generally pull in the title, content, genesis hooks and everything else included in a modified WordPress loop.
