Sorry about the typo, it’s Soliloquy. All the reviews of sliders say this one is really good. There are others, many others… but this developer also does the Envira gallery which I am also using. Both these work flawlessly and with Wes’s themes, you get a very professional look.
You might check your slider settings on the Genesis tab, to match your images.
I tried the Genesis slider and did not like it. I would recommend you use the Siloquoy Slider. You can buy the basic for $19 (please support developers) or use the free version: https://wordpress.org/plugins/soliloquy-lite/ if you want to see how it works.
I use it on all my websites. You can make as many sliders as you want on as many pages as you want. You can set the dimensions, the speed, and the look (limited in the free one).
All you add is a short code
[siloquoy3452]wherever in the widget or on a page, and it works.
You can also use basic code to make it center, etc.I use it for the basic slider, and slider wide, and for mini slide shows on numerous pages. Check out this site to see it in operation: http://www.unitedsportsmen.com. It is FAST too.
And I am sorry I did not use the “Code” tab. I wondered why my posts kept getting goofy. Thanks you Sir.
Ok. Swap “#incontri” and put in “#News” leave everything else alone. It works
Let me try again sorry
HAPPY HAPPY
You use “#News” but the text can be anything… then the button shows your “fai la tua scelta!”
The Target works because the is the place the “jump” goes to. You put whatever images or text below, as in any other page.
It works on my Epik site with and without the orange button.
First Widget has : Read Current News Stories
It works. I tried it on my sample website to confirm. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Creating the link
1. Drag and drop and HTML Widget onto your page where you would like the text to appear for your visitor to click on, for this example it will be at the top of the page.
2. Enter this code in the HTML Widget:
Read Current News StoriesWhat this bit of code is saying is: News is the specific place on the page I want to jump, and Read Current News Stories is the text I want the link to display.
Step 2: Marking the Spot
1. Drag and drop an HTML Widget onto your page where you would like the link created in Step 1 to take the clicker, for this example it would be wherever the News section of the document is.
2. Enter this code in the HTML Widget:
What this bit of code is saying is: Here is the place named News, and a link with this place specified needs to go here.
Give these a try and you will see that you can easily have your visitors jump all over your page!
So the STEP ONE goes into the text editor you put in the (Wecome WIDGET)
STEP TWO goes into a text widget you put in another (Home Feature 11)So my website looks like
NEWS
read current newsclicking that jumps you to Home Feature 11
Target hahahhaha (this was what I wrote, but it can be anything you want)
Page jump: here is a tutorial

or

You need to use the codes to “mark your spot” from the first place, to where the “jump” goes to. Don’t see why you cannot “jump” from the welcome wide (put the link in text or a button) and send it to the other widget area.
OK I added that code to the Epik theme I also have, and it worked. However, this doesn’t seem to work on Legacy. The header logo resizes down, but there is a bit which seems cut off on the right hand size. Now I made the logo exactly the width of the logo, and perhaps (using Adobe) I should have padded it a bit.
I did discover another issue with resizing. On my pages, I have text on the left with a slider on the upper top right. It looks fine on a desktop, but was not properly formatted on an Iphone. The markup was carried over from the Genesis Education 1.0 theme which is not responsive. So I played around and found this:
<div style=”width: 500px; float: left;”>
*/page text here on left side/*
<div style=”width: 500px; float: right;”>[soliloquy id=”7592″]</div>
*/ slider short code for right column /*
CHANGED IT TO:
<div style=”width: 50%; float: left;”>
*/page text here on left side/*
<div style=”width: 50%; float: right;”>[soliloquy id=”7592″]</div>
*/ slider short code for right column /*
Now the page is formatted perfectly on all sizes.
I am using the Column classes on another page, and this 50% “style=”width” on this page. Which is preferred? They both work, so I am happy to have learned something new.
This worked for me:
.header-image .site-title a {
background-size: contain !important;
}You need to post a link to your website so people can see what the problem is. Kind of hard otherwise.
I tried the one above from ozzyrodriguez.com, but for the life of me could not get it to work on a “Genesis Sample” theme (which is a bare bones theme).
Try this one: http://wpbeaches.com/using-slick-responsive-menus-genesis-child-theme/
It actually walked me thru the steps a bit cleaner. When I tried a few others I found, it wasn’t clear about where to place the files in my directory. The “slick” works beautifully.
I love Genesis. There is so much out there, and great themes (like my Epik).
Perhaps your settings for the MENU. Go to appearance – menu, and look at the bottom. If you check the “Top Menu” and the “Header Menu” you get them both to appear. Select the one you want. Also, in Epik, in the Header Right area you can insert a “Custom Menu” or “Search” widget.

Footer MenuThank You Eric. We have Epik up and running on one site (walnutcreeksportsmen.com) and love it. The “parent” website is still on the old Genesis theme, and we (I) am considering moving it to either Epik or Legacy. I also have two more sites which are undergoing change to both Epik and Legacy themes. I just need to make sure that on the one theme, we can keep the full size header image.
I use the Visual Editor from Black Studio MCE instead of the Text widget. You can add any text or photo just like a post or page in any widget. It’s cool.
We upgraded a Responsive Theme website to the Genesis, with Epik. Very nice theme. http://www.walnutcreeksportsmen.com
