Hi – if anyone has the same problem, here’s some updates (though not fixed yet)
This might not be the default Epik theme setup, but you can create a Genesis Before Header widget area.
Using: http://wpsites.net/web-design/widget-genesis/
But…
Now when I create my secondary menu, and added it using a Custom Menu to the Genesis Before Header Widget Area, the menu links show up vertically.
Has anyone found the solution for that? Thanks!
