The screenshot below shows you exactly what the code generates after installation.
If you want to place a slider next to a email subscribe optin box, that’s exactly what this tutorial is all about. As long as you’re using a child theme which runs on Genesis.

The code produces 2 widgets inline.
- The left column widget is 66% wide and populated with a slider.
- The right column widget is 33% wide and populated with the Genesis eNews widget.
Code Installation
- Copy the PHP code from the Gist labelled functions.php and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor.
- The CSS in the Gist labelled style.css goes near the end of your style sheet before your Media Queries.
Alternative Method

Slider Configuration
You could also use this tutorial to place a image or video next to a email subscribe form and use any Aweber, MailChimp or any other form code on a text widget.
Will Code Work in All Themes?
I also tested the exact same code on the Enterprise Pro theme and this is the result without any tweaking of the CSS.
Clearly there are 2 lines which you can remove using CSS and also add some padding-bottom.
This shows you that you will need to do some work depending on which theme you use this code with.
