Overview
This plugin creates a new Genesis settings page that allows you to insert code (HTML, Shortcodes, and PHP), and attach it to any of the 50+ action hooks throughout the Genesis Theme Framework, from StudioPress.
Instead of the sometimes tedious and unfamiliar process of creating functions in your theme files, this plugin gives you an attractive, easy to use interface for modifying your Genesis theme via the hook system. The plugin accepts HTML, Shortcodes, and PHP and gives you access to all 50+ hooks built into the Genesis theme, and a few built-in WordPress hooks as well.

Doubles my Recipe Plugin
by jessicadawson·5 years ago
I’m really disappointed to find out that this plugin is not compatible with my recipe plugin which is a huge problem since I write a food blog. Now, all of my recipes appear twice. It’s the same with my social media buttons.
This plugin was extraordinarily helpful in creating a second menu that I actually liked the look of. But now, it’s messed up things that are essential.
Great Plugin!
