      Looks like its still there……you may have removed it from somewhere else.  It should be on line 313 (currently) –

      .menu-primary li, .menu-secondary li, #header .menu li {
      clear: both;
      float: left;
      list-style-type: none;
      }

      When I remove it, this is what your site looks like – http://i.imgur.com/v1v3z.png

        The search box is coming from your Genesis Theme settings.  Go into your Genesis Theme settings and uncheck the box under the Primary Nav that says – “Enable Extras on Right Side?”

        …The nav was designed/coded to be vertical for this theme, so I don’t have any extra “shortcuts” for it since that was the intention.  However, you may be able to get away with removing the “clear: both” for the <li> – .menu-primary li, .menu-secondary li, #header .menu li on line 313

          Remove the “remove_action” in the functions file.

          Then follow this tutorial to add it back – http://www.studiopress.com/tutorials/navigation#reposition-primary  You can add it to wherever you need it to show by taking a look at the hooks – http://www.studiopress.com/tutorials/hook-reference …….then make your adjustments from there.

            I’ve never seen that happen before.  Do you have the posts setup any certain kind of way?  Are they set to Public?

            Any plugins active that could be interfering?  Have you tried deactivating them one by one?

            Sometimes when there is a link that is typed in wrong it will redirect to the homepage, or a 404 page.  I copied the blog links and pasted them in the url area and it still redirected.  So something is either wrong with the links, or there is something else effecting them.

              Here is a short tutorial on how to create multiple portfolios – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-create-multiple-portfolios/

              That link is from the Tutorials section that I’m building.  I’ll have more added soon.

                  Here’s how to fix it (assuming you want the 2nd/responsive logo to center)

                  1.  The #header .wrap logo needs to be set to “background: none;” in the responsive section of the css since its showing up twice behind the responsive logo.

                  #header .wrap  {
                  background: none;
                  }

                  2. You also need to add width: 100%; to the #header .wrap as well. Currently it is still using the width: 960px; which is why this entire area isn’t resizing due to the fixed width. So adding the 100% percentage will allow the responsive logo to adjust/respond like its supposed to.

                  #header .wrap  {
                  background: none;
                  width: 100%;
                  }

                    I’d be the wrong person to ask on the php for this plugin.  However, I can recommend some changes you could make to the css to get it to align better.  Rather than set a float to the image and title, it would be better to add the float to the div that its contained in.  I see that the div class is – “listing-item” so you will need to add that to your css file, and then style it with float left and give it a width like this –

                    .listing-item {
                    float: left;
                    margin: 20px 20px 20px 0;
                    width: 250px;
                    }

                    The “rollover” effect that you see (which was actually meant for something different) can be adjusted on line 760 in your style.css file. You can change the padding to 0 and it won’t move around like its doing now. Also, you could get rid of the opacity if you don’t want it to fade. The css transition can also be removed if you don’t want it to “ease in”. –

                    #content a:hover img {
                    -moz-transition:all .5s ease;
                    -o-transition:all .5s ease;
                    -webkit-transition:all .5s ease;
                    transition:all .5s ease;
                    opacity: .5;
                    padding: 4px;
                    }

                    I’ve done the exact same thing for the demo menu and the issue doesn’t appear. It has to do with something in your css…..probably margin/padding or extra width that was added somewhere.

                      When I mentioned creating custom html manually, I was suggesting to do that on 1 page that would link to the different categories (which you don’t have to create manually since they’ll already be created automatically).  So you would only be creating one single page with links that link to all of your categories…….does that make sense?

                      For the plugin, I’m really not sure if it will work or not since I don’t have any experience with it.  Bill (the creator) would definitely be the best person to ask, I wouldn’t want to lead you in the wrong direction from making guesses.  He’s a nice guy, very helpful, so I’m sure he could let you know if this will work.

                      I was actually recommending trying out a plugin (not a theme) to handle your portfolio if this one isn’t enough.  I don’t know of any specifically, but I do know there are plenty of them out there, a lot of them are free as well – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/  You also have the “premium” plugins that you could take a look at on Code Canyon here – http://codecanyon.net/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=WordPress+Portfolio

                      As I mentioned earlier, I do plan to come up with more features to add to the portfolio, but I don’t have a date yet, as it will take some time to put something together.

                      For the menu issue – I just added more menu links under the sample menu on the demo and it seems to be working fine on my end.  So I’m guessing you may have added something that could be throwing it off possibly.  Do you remember what all changes you’ve added to the css?

                        I’m sure there is a way to do it, but I haven’t personally done this yet since the portfolio page is so simple.  Its basically just the blog, but redesigned with a few extras.  I would like to add more features in the near future, especially something like what you’re requesting.

                        Since the plugin was made by a Genesis Developer, I went ahead and gave it a try, but I’m still not sure how to implement the portfolio layout with this particular method.

                        Would it be too difficult to create a custom page with the Portfolio links that link to separate categories?  If so, I know this can be done since we can create multiple portfolio pages that show separate categories. (the tutorial on how to do this – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/)  This method would involve manually creating the html which links to the separate portfolio pages.  I can give you a head start if you’re interested in this method…..until I have a way to do it automatically in the theme settings.  Just let me know if you’re interested in this, otherwise I would recommend searching for a portfolio plugin that is designed to handle this.

                          I was thinking of making a theme with a feature similar to the link you suggested.

                          I haven’t started on it yet, but you could check out this link – http://wp-snippets.com/add-oddeven-to-posts/ this should help.

                          You could also make changes to certain css specifically

                            For the demo, I have the “Custom Menu” widget installed in the “Header Right” widget area.  The header right widget area is set to float right, so it will start from the far right and work its way over to the left depending on how many links you have in your navigation.  If you want it to float left, then you could adjust the css of the #header .menu

                              Ok, sounds good.

                              Its possible it could have just been a width issue…maybe IE was displaying the widgets too wide for that section.  The width of the theme is actually 960px.

                              If you have any other issues, just let me know.

                                This is just a guess (since I don’t have IE) but try changing the “float: left” to “float: right” for – “.home-feature-section” currently on line 727 in your style.css file.

                                  Unfortunately I only have Mac computers and do  not have windows, or older versions of IE.  I can access sites using an IE Emulator, but I don’t see the issue.

                                  Could you post  a screenshot of what it looks like?

                                    In the Optimal demo, we’re using the Genesis Responsive Slider – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-responsive-slider/ so make sure you have that downloaded in your plugins area, and then click activate.

                                    For basic instructions on how to install this plugin you can take a look here – https://appfinite.com/tutorials/how-to-add-the-genesis-responsive-slider/

                                      I just checked in my browser (which is the only way I can use my tools to debug) and it still shows the responsive code.  Once you remove the code from the functions file it works for mobile browsers, but it looks like you would need to remove the responsive css code as well for desktop browsers.

                                        Remove or comment out this code in your functions.php file –

                                        /** Add Viewport meta tag for mobile browsers */
                                        add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'add_viewport_meta_tag' );
                                        function add_viewport_meta_tag() {
                                        echo '<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>';
                                        }

                                        You may need to remove the responsive code at the bottom of your style.css file as well……but only do so if its needed.

                                            Yes, you could add a background color to “.head-wrap” on line 2232 in your style.css file –

                                            .head-wrap {
                                            background: #222;
                                            padding: 0;
                                            width: 100%;
                                            }

                                                  Currently not at the moment.  We just have the regular XML file that comes with all Genesis themes, which only loads content for posts/pages, but doesn’t load the widgets automatically.  I actually haven’t seen a way to load the widget content automatically with Genesis yet.

                                                  I do plan to add more tutorials (in detail) plus a widget map so you can know exactly were each widget is located on the homepage.

                                                  Until I get those tutorials written up, if you have a specific question on how we setup the demo just let me know.

                                                        It shouldn’t add extra space unless you added too much padding.  How much padding did you add?

                                                        I added 20px and it worked fine for me.

                                                          You could just add the exact same nav ID in your functions file like this –

                                                          Then add some padding to the #nav in your css on or around line 321.

                                                            Looks like you’ll need to add a width to the slider (middle widget) and you would also need to set it to float left as well.

                                                                I use the Gravity Forms plugin when I create contact pages….or anything dealing with forms. Its the easiest, and the best plugin to use when dealing with forms (IMO).

Make sure the 2 new widgets that you duplicate are renamed so you don’t have more than 1 of the same function. Also remember to register you widget in your functions.php file.

                                                                                              Next go to your Genesis Theme Settings page – http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=genesis. If you scroll near the bottom of the page you will see “Portfolio Page Settings”. This is where you can configure the settings for your portfolio.

                                                                                              You can also create multiple portfolio pages based on categories as well. Take a look here – https://appfinite.com/topic/different-portfolio-with-different-categories/

                                                                                                  You can style the home images separately from the blog post images by styling them like this – “.home .post-image”

                                                                                                    Here is a tutorial/example on how to create a widget area – http://www.briangardner.com/welcome-text-widget/

                                                                                                        #inner p {
                                                                                                            margin: 0 0 20px;
                                                                                                        }

                                                                                                        Add “padding: 0;” to line 184 in your css file to the #title ID. On your home page the h1 tag is used for the title, and on other pages the title is using a “p” tag…..which is why its showing differently.
