Take a look at this comment by Wes – https://appfinite.com/topic/reducing-the-height-of-the-top-area-that-holds-the-logo/#post-10489

That’s how you can do it, but in your case, the line is 1959 in your css file.

Hi, do you have a link so I can see?

You would need to change the header/logo size in your functions.php file first. Make sure you add the exact size of your image. Then upload your image in the WP header uploader and it won’t crop your image.

It still looks fine to me, but I noticed you don’t have any sub menu links in your menu, so that’s why nothing is dropping down. I checked your code and I only see your top level menu items, but there are no other menu items (no submenu links). Once you add more links for the submenu then it should work.

Well I know you can do the hover effect with css….but based on what I saw, you had something else going on where it would change to multiple colors, and it would remember what the last color was, right? I don’t think you can do that with css. I’m sure it could be done with jquery or html5, but I couldn’t find any tutorials out there that could do it….in a simple way at least.

I’m wondering if it’s because of Genesis 2.0? I know that there is going to be a major update to this theme to make it HTML5 and work with Genesis 2.0. At least that’s what Wes mentioned not too long ago. I’d try asking him to see if or when that update will happen. This is of course assuming that it just needs to be updated.

To turn off the responsive features, just scroll to the bottom of your css and remove the code (it’s labeled under media queries). You’ll also need to remove the responsive code in your functions file –

//* Add viewport meta tag for mobile browsers
add_theme_support( 'genesis-responsive-viewport' );

The latest version allows you to do this, see here – http://demo.appfinite.net/optimal/portfolio Redownload the new version from your account and look at the portfolio file. If you’ve made changes to your files, you’ll have to manually change everything yourself.

http://www.wphike.com/126/create-landing-page-genesis-framework first result I got by Googling

The largest size the image should be is 960px since thats the size of the theme you’re using (btw they released a new version of this theme). The slider should be responsive, so you may want to login and download the plugin to make sure you have the latest version.

Yeah theres an entire responsive section at the bottom of your css file. They have it labeled by browser size.

Glad I could help 🙂

I’ve tried doing the same thing, but couldn’t get it working myself. So if anyone else is reading this and would like to help out I’d appreciate it.

Here is what I have been able to do….Warning, it may not be the correct way so don’t rely on it 100% 😉

If you reverse the order so the #head-wrap (div around the header) is on bottom of the slider….meaning move the slider up on top, then you could add position: relative; bottom: 250px; background: none; to the #head-wrap and that would remove the background, and move the position of it so it shows up above and on top of the slider. Weird, I know…but it sort of works as you can see here – http://i.imgur.com/MWe4M82.png

I’d at least start with something like that and just play around with it to see if you can get it working.

If anyone else has a better way let me know.

Yeah thats just the way the Genesis Framework is designed. It’s not due to the child theme.

I remember seeing someone offer some code that would enable you to switch it I think.

So what exact order are you trying to have everything appear?

You have to delete the current theme and upload the new one. Same thing happened to me with another theme and it took me forever to figure it out. That’s just the way WordPress works.

If that happens you could add something like list-style: none; to your code….but I wouldn’t know where exactly to put it since I can’t see your site. Try that out and see if it works, if you can’t find exactly where to add it, then send me a link if you can and I’ll take a look.

Here is something I’ve seen linked here before – http://www.carriedils.com/add-widget-area-below-nav/.

It depends, which part of the page? The entire page? or just a specific area? Also, are you trying to do this throughout the entire site or just that specific page?

Sitewide – you could just add something to the body on line 152

For that specific page you’d need to create code for that particular page ID/Class, which is page-id-1152 and then add that in front of .site-inner. Here is the site-inner code which wraps the content area (on line 552 in your css) –

.site-inner {
    background: #f5f5f5;
    clear: both;
    padding-top: 40px;
    padding-top: 2.5rem;
}

you would need to add separate code like this – .page-id-1152 .site-inner

Take a look here for the basics – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-add-the-genesis-responsive-slider/ and something like this for everything else – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ29XTzSU14

You have to replace the div that surrounds it with your own – home-feature-bg or home-feature-bg-alt. They reuse the divs so they don’t have to keep adding new code for each widget. So just create your own in the home.php file, and make sure and add your css to style it however you want.

“the sidebar appeared below the home widgets and nothing on the left (i.e. content part). The home widgets took the whole space and the sidebar went below them.”

Thats what I mentioned above. The content area will be blank and then your sidebar will appear on the side, but your Home Widgets should appear on top. Thats just the way the file was designed. There is no “Content” area that will show up, because there’s no place to add content since this file is developed for widgets.

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to do exactly, but I’m sure it would be easier to just use the widgets. Anything beyond that then I’d recommend you do a Google search for creating custom page templates in WordPress/Genesis. It’s probably not easy if you’re not familiar with coding, and if that’s the case then you’d probably need to hire one of the developers around here to develop this for you….depending on what all you need.

You’ll see this in the top area of your home.php file –

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

You could remove or change it and the layout will show up at the bottom of all the home widgets. Your content is not going to show because the home.php file is a separate file…meaning it loads automatically if widgets are added to it, and you wouldn’t need to create a page called home. Here is what I’m talking about – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-setup-the-home-and-blog-page/ …So once you do that your primary sidebar will probably show, but your content won’t, because there is no place to add any content since this isn’t a regular page. It’s for widget content. I’ve actually just used the Genesis Featured Posts widget to show my blog posts on the home page. Much easier. Hope that helps.

Also, just to let you know, there is a newer updated version of this theme (version 1.3). It’s designed for Genesis 2.0/HTML5 You could probably just replace your current theme with the new one since you haven’t added any custom code.

Check out Eric’s comment for the first question – https://appfinite.com/topic/big-picture/#post-5572 it should be a similar solution.

For the second question, whatever code or plugin you add to a responsive theme would need to be responsive as well in order to work. I looked at the code, and I can see there is a fixed width of 1000px. If you remove the 1000px code then it will adjust to the width and be responsive. The code ID I’m referring to is this – #mc_embed_signup

I agree with the 1 question per thread rule because it’s way easier for users like me and others when searching for questions/solutions. When there are threads with a lot of posts that contain multiple topics it gets frustrating when trying to find what you’re looking for. That’s why they want us to do this. You may already know this, but I’m posting so others can see just in case they don’t lol.

Let me know if that answers your questions.

Actually that’s not correct, Wes created plenty of documentation all throughout the site. I’m guessing you haven’t read the README file located in your theme. It’s always best to actually read the Readme when using a theme, it will explain where the documentation/code snippets can be found.

For Epik tutorials on how the frontpage was created (and other details) take a look at the Epik Forum page at the top, its the highlighted sticky posts – https://appfinite.com/forum/epik-theme-support/ ….There are also some general tutorials in the tutorials link in the menu. This has made the entire process very simple for me and many others.

There is more than enough documentation provided to make the demo. Although, none of that is needed, all you have to do is add widget content inside the widget areas. It’s pretty straightforward just like all Genesis themes. You’re in total control of what you want to be displayed in your site whether you want it to look like the demo or not. You’re not required to duplicate the demo, you can create whatever you want.

Again, this is all mentioned inside the README file.
