@paul That worked!! thanks so much.

@ron I used this plugin, which creates a widget area that you can drop widgets into and then use a shortcode to place that widget on any page or post. So I added the shortcode to the top of a page, then I added the Genesis Responsive Slider to that widget in the widget area, then made the homepage pull that static page instead of my list of posts. https://webdesign.anmari.com/shortcode-any-widget/

Not as elegant as creating a template, I know. And I can’t say I am crazy about the graphical layout of how it looks, but it works, which is all I want right now. I guess I can dig into the CSS later and figure out how to tweak it so that it looks better. I really wanted to use Going Green Pro theme but that theme is not designed to use the Genesis Responsive Slider. So this plugin was a work-around to actually creating a template.

Anyway, thanks everyone for your help.

Nevermind. I went with another plugin that gave me similar results: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/amr-shortcode-any-widget/

I am an idiot. The reason the ‘register’ link wouldn’t show up was because I had turned it off in my ‘General’ settings screen.

Carry on.

Can someone help me please??

Thanks Pete. Your advice helped. I got my database restored.

Pete, I did nothing to the gz file before trying to import it. Are you saying that I need to do that??
