Update:
I have found that the following in the template.php file brings posts to the page.

<?php
  /**
   * @author  Ben Clark
   * @link    https://www.clarkben.com
   */

  //* Template Name: People

  $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;

  query_posts(array('posts_per_page' => 5, 'paged'=>$paged,));

  genesis();

  ?>

Now I’m trying to work out how this can be customised.

I guess I just don’t understand what I need to write in a new page template in order for posts to be called and displayed on the page. I don’t know if it’s the same for Genesis as it is for vanilla WP?

Here’s my functions.php:

<?php
// This will bring in the Genesis Parent files needed:
require_once( TEMPLATEPATH . '/lib/init.php' );

// Setup Child Theme
define( 'Child_Theme_Name', __( 'Shell Global', 'shellglobal' ) );
define( 'Child_Theme_Url', 'localhost' );
define( 'Child_Theme_Version', '1.0' );

// Add HTML5 markup structure from parent Genesis framework
add_theme_support( 'html5' );

// Add HTML5 responsive recognition from parent Genesis framework
add_theme_support( 'genesis-responsive-viewport' );

// Include jQuery script when building pages
if (!is_admin()) add_action("wp_enqueue_scripts", "my_jquery_enqueue", 1);
function my_jquery_enqueue() {
   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
   wp_register_script('jquery', "http" . ($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443 ? "s" : "") . "://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js", false, null);
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
}

// This will bring the CSS across from parent Genesis theme:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_child_theme_scripts', 2 );
function my_child_theme_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-theme-css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'global-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/global.js');
    if (is_page_template( 'login-page.php' )) {
       wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-login-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/custom-login.css');
       wp_enqueue_script( 'custom-login-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/custom-login.js');
   }
}

// Remove the wp-admin bar at top of browser when logged in for everyone on all pages
show_admin_bar(false);

// Remove the Genesis site header on all pages
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header' );
remove_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_header_markup_close', 15 );

// Remove the Genesis site Footer on all pages
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_do_footer');
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_open', 5);
remove_action('genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_markup_close', 15);

/*
The below restricts access to the WordPress Admin Area to
 only users who we want to be there. When logging to wp-login.php this
 code will check if the user is an administrator and if they are not WordPress
 will redirect them back to the website home page. */
function restrict_admin()
{
  if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) && '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' != $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) {
                wp_redirect( site_url() );
  }
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'restrict_admin', 1 );

?>

Here’s what a page using that template looks like: https://s1.postimg.org/o7sqwwrjz/Screen_Shot_2015_08_28_at_14_40_15.png

Here’s the page template:

<?php

//* Template Name: People

genesis();

?>

Mind blown

If I edit the plugin code would it be a relatively easy edit to do myself? I’m a beginner programmer
