    Hello,

    I am creating a child theme and am having some trouble with the multi-level navigation menu. Here is a screenshot of what happens

    Even worse for grandchild pages

    I want the levels to align properly.

    Also, when using the Genesis Featured Post Widget with thumnail aligned to the left, it does not align to the left or to the right

    What is the problem?

    Hi David,

    Do you have a live version of your child theme? If so, it would help if you could provide a link so that we can see the issues in action.
