Genesis Visual Hook Guide

Description

Once a tool for myself the Genesis Visual Hook guide has slowly evolved into what it is today. I finally welcome the plugin version of the popular Visual Genesis Hooks and Filters Guide from Genesis Tutorials.

Once installed this plugin adds a drop down menu to the admin bar to select between three views (Hook, Filter, and Markup). Select an option or all three to see the hooks in their actual locations on your current theme.

Great companion to Genesis Simple Hooks.

Genesis Theme Framework required.

Screenshots

FAQ

Installation Instructions
  1. Upload the entire genesis-visual-hook-guide folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
I have my admin bar disable, can I still view the hooks without it?

Sure! The views are triggered by a query string. Simply add ?gvhg_markup=show ?gvhg_hooks=show or ?gvhg_filters=show to the end the url.

After all these years, it's still a very useful plugin for development with Genesis. Does one thing and does it flawless in current 6.0.1.

Used to be great for editing and styling your web. But it does not work with the last version of Wordpress.

I've used this for a long time when working with Genesis themes. But nothhing beats seeing it outlined in the theme you are working on! This is now a standard install for all my development setups whenever I'm using Genesis. It's really helpful. 🙂
