The entry content is built and rendered out to the browser using the Genesis event hook called genesis_entry_content(), which is found in genesis/lib/structure/loop.php. Within the Genesis framework, this event has multiple callbacks registered to it in order to build the different elements of the entry content: Post image Post content Post content navigation for paginated posts Post permalink (for when there’s no title) You can use this event to reorder, remove, or add various elements. It gives you the means to customize what you want to be rendered within the <div class=”entry-content”> section of the page.

This is the second part of the Loop. In this lab, you will explore how the remaining portion of the loop in Genesis works as well as how to customize it. You will dig into the entry content, footer, and after entry components.

Within the entry header, Genesis provides the means for each article to have additional information. They call it the byline as well as post info, as it provides additional information about this particular article. Let’s explore how Genesis builds the HTML markup and what event hooks you have available to you to customize this information. In this episode, you are exploring the genesis_post_info() function, which is found in genesis/lib/structure/post.php.

Part of each article is its title. In this episode, you will explore how Genesis builds the HTML markup, determines whether to wrap it in an <h1> or <h2> tag in order to make it SEO ready, and what filter events are available for you to do your customization thang. This episode walks you through each spot where you can customize. It includes some tips and tricks, as well as shortcode or two.

At the start of the loop, meaning just after the while fires, the Genesis event genesis_before_entry fires. This event gives you the hook to do things such as add content or a feature before each article is rendered or to reset the loop. Let’s explore this event to see what it does and how you might use it in your projects.
