Genesis WordPress Code Snippets

This is a page for WordPress Code Snippets, but specifically for the Genesis Framework. As I come across helpful Genesis WordPress code snippets or create new code, I will share here in hopes to benefit other WordPress users out there:

Display Featured Image & Custom Size

// Register a custom image size for Singular Featured images

//Choose custom image size and remember to Regenerate Thumbnails
add_image_size( 'singular-featured-thumb', 768, 450, true ); 

//Hook to add image before entry content
add_action( 'genesis_before_entry_content', 'tm_display_featured_image' );

//Function to display image
function tm_display_featured_image() {
    if ( ! is_singular( array( 'post', 'page' ) ) ) {
        return; //ends function if not singular post or page
    }
    if ( ! has_post_thumbnail() ) {
        return; //ends function if no thumbnail chosen
    }
    // Display featured image above content
    echo '<div class="singular-featured-image">';
        genesis_image( array( 'size' => 'singular-featured-thumb' ) );
    echo '</div>';
}

<h3>Insert Content Before Jetpack Social Sharing and Related Posts</h3>
<pre class="wrap:true lang:default decode:true">//Remove original Jetpack Social Sharing location
add_action( 'init', 'custom_init', 11 );
function custom_init() {
    //* if sharing_display() function does not exist, return
    if( ! function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    //* remove the callback sharing_display() for the 'the_content' filter.
    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display', 19 );
}

// Remove JetPack Related Posts
function jetpackme_remove_rp() {
    if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack_RelatedPosts' ) ) {
        $jprp = Jetpack_RelatedPosts::init();

        remove_filter( 'the_content', $callback, 40 );
    }

add_filter( 'wp', 'jetpackme_remove_rp', 20 );

//Putting Jetpack Social Sharing after the content
add_action( 'genesis_after_entry_content', 'reposition_jetpack', 5 );

function wpb_jp_posts() {

add_action( 'genesis_after_entry_content', 'wpb_jp_posts', 10 );

/* Now insert New Hook Before Social Sharing by using the 
'genesis_after_entry_content' but a priority number lower than 5 
(as social sharing was 5 and related posts was 10). */</pre>
