You’re Welcome Tom!

No problem!

We’re using the Simple Social Icons plugin for the social links in the demo. You can download it here – http://www.studiopress.com/plugins/simple-social-icons

I’m not exactly sure how to do that. Since this is an external plugin that we haven’t created, it would be best to contact the author/developer of this particular plugin for the proper solution. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, you could try a plugin called Meteor Slides – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meteor-slides/ This is also responsive and you can individually add images exactly how you want them to appear in the slider.

In your css file, add “text-align: center;” to line 306 (.menu-primary).

Then on or around line 317 change the float to “none” and add “display: inline-block;” like this –

.menu-primary li, .menu-secondary li, #header .menu li {
display: inline-block;
float: none;
list-style-type: none;
}

Everything is working fine, you just have one side with more text than the other. The first 2 widgets inside of the “home-feature-1” widget area are completely separate from “home-feature-2”. Think of them as two separate vertical columns that sit next to each other.

The only way to match those up is to have the same amount of text on both sides. You currently have 4 lines of text under “TOTAL TANK MANAGEMENT” and only 3 lines under “WHY TANK TEAM?”…..that’s why it appears that way.

You can add this to your css –

#reply-title {
font-size: 16px;
}

….and then make your adjustments as needed.

Are you referring to the Primary Navigation that shows under the logo/header or the header right widget area?  Because all I see is the header right widget area nav.

If you can provide a link to your site then I can tell you which line you’ll need to adjust in your css.

Currently the only way to add images is by uploading Featured Images to your pages and posts.  If you don’t want to do that, then maybe you could try a plugin called Meteor Slides – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/meteor-slides/ ….I’m sure there are many more out there, you can search WordPress if you need more – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=responsive+slider

We would need a bit more information to be able to know what the issue is.  Can you provide the steps you’ve taken so far?

I’m not sure if Genesis loads javascript or not.  If it is, I don’t think that would be the issue or I would have ran into that issue as well.

The only thing I can recommend is to try creating a separate subdomain and see if the problem persists…..or maybe add the same setup on a local install like mampp or xampp (if you know how to do that) and then see if it still happens.  If it doesn’t and you think its your host, then I would move to a different host, especially the hosting companies that advertise speed and good performance as one of their features.

You can also try the “Yslow” plugin, if it works you may be able to see which files are causing your site to load slowly.

If you take a look at the Readme file in your theme, their should be a link to a plugin that handles this better.  I believe its this one – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-full-screen-background-image/

The background feature is actually a WordPress feature (not really a Legacy feature)…..and its for the entire background (or “body”) of your site. There is no background “color” option specifically for the Header alone, you can only add a background image and change the text color of the header.

In another thread, Wes recommended adding the following code to your functions.php file –


/** Before Header Wrap */
add_action('genesis_before_header', 'before_header_wrap');
function before_header_wrap() {
echo '<div class="head-wrap">';
}
/** After Header Wrap */
add_action('genesis_after_header', 'before_after_wrap');
function before_after_wrap() {
echo '</div>';
}


Then add this to your style.css file –


.head-wrap {
background: #ff0000;
}


You can change the background color to whatever you want.

The #header is only 960px width, so if you add color it won’t fill up the entire space and you would have white on the sides of the header. This is why you should add the above code since it will add a “wrap” behind the header making the background color full width.

You’re Welcome Tom!

It could be anything really.  It may be the hosting (most likely) or it could be a plugin.  Its definitely not the Child theme as there isn’t anything within the theme that would cause it to be that slow.

Unfortunately there isn’t much we can do.  I would recommend deactivating your plugins if you’re using any, or try a different host.

Do you have a link so we can see what the issue is?

You can use the “Header Right” widget and it will show up automatically.

If you scroll to the bottom of this page – http://demo.appfinite.com/ally/classes/columns/ you’ll see the exact code that is being used for the columns.

The style.css was updated to be responsive and work with the new Genesis 1.8 version (it was new at the time).  The functions.php, home.php, and page_portfolio was updated.  Pretty much everything has been updated, but if you made customizations to your style.css file and a new update appears, you can use a site like – http://www.diffchecker.com/ to compare which part of the code has changed.

Child themes aren’t really that easy to update when dealing with css, especially when Legacy was made responsive and updated to work with Genesis 1.8…..there was a lot that needed to be changed.  The link above should help you compare changes.  If you just want the responsive features, you could start by adding the responsive code at the bottom of the css and then make the adjustments as needed…..but only do this if you know how to create responsive code, otherwise I’d recommend hiring a developer to do this for you as it could take a lot of work.

Also, you could maybe setup a local install of the new Legacy version, and then just add in your navigation code (replacing what you have).  If this seems like too much work I’m sure you could hire someone to do this for you quickly.  I know Wes (the creator) could get this done fast, and you could also check the StudioPress recommended developers as well.

Ok great!

Hello carolepyke,

You’ll need to contact the plugin author/developer for this.  The forums are here to assist if you have any theme related issues (issues that are caused by the theme itself).  All external issues caused by plugins, or any external sources should be handled by the developers of those plugins.

Please take a look at the Forum Rules (if you haven’t already) – https://appfinite.com/topic/forum-rules/

Thanks!
