I’m not clear on how to upgrade to the new version of Legacy – I currently use 1.2.1

I am a complete novice when it comes to code – is it as simple as enabling HTML5 support in the function.php file or will I then miss out on other features by not installing the new version 1.3 zip files

It’s a bit more than that, you’ll have to enable it, but you’ll also have to go through all of your files and replace the old Genesis Code with the new Genesis Code. StudioPress replaced their old markup code with ID’s, Classes, and functions that were more suitable for HTML5. So that meant everyone that created child themes for the Genesis Framework must update and replace there code with the new versions.

Take a look here if you haven’t already – https://appfinite.com/topic/legacy-1-3-for-genesis-2-0-html5-is-now-available/

There are also some sites out there that automatically go through and replace your code in the style.css files. Try out the link above first and that should point you in the right direction of what you’ll need to do.

Thanks Wes.

I downloaded and activated v.1.3 but some reason I am not able to get my menu to look like the site demo – not sure what is happening.

my website is: http://bullerhomes.com

The header right widget area and the title area are both too wide to fit within that space. There is no width defined for the widget area so that’s why it’s falling under the logo. Look around line 1267 in your css and add a width like this –
```
.site-header .widget-area {
    float: right;
    text-align: right;
    width: 700px;
}
```
Then you can adjust as needed.

when I made that change all it did was cause the menu to wrap on two lines.

on the demo site the menu comes from left (just above the slider) and has the same background colour as the slider area – this was how it looked on my site before upgrading – now it is aligned to the right and has white background

Sorry, I thought you were using the Epik theme…..I replied to a lot of posts today and probably got you mixed up.

If you’re using Legacy and want it to look like the demo, then all you have to do is add a Primary Menu instead of the Header Widget area. You can setup the Primary Menu on your Menus page under “Appearance”

BTW I wasn’t able to load your site for some reason. It worked before, but it’s not showing up now.

ok, I made that change and it looks like I have one last problem. The menu now appears just above the slider but it is vertical and fully expanded (all sub-menus show) – the top level items do not show horizontally across the screen

I was able to fix the navigation issue – appears there was a conflict with a plugin I had installed by Nick the Geek “Genesis Nav Menu Amplified” – as soon as I deactivated that plugin the menu worked perfectly again.

Still needs some help to figure out how to get enews widget in the header lined up properly.

Thanks so much for all of your help.
