Genesis 2.0 breaking things

[IanP]

I'm sure I'll get my head around this change soon, but Genesis 2.0 has broken a header on one website that I manage. I ran the child theme (Outreach) CSS through a Genesis XHTML To HTML5 CSS Converter, and then implemented the
// Enable HTML5 markup add_theme_support( 'html5' );
in the functions.php, but it is totally broken after doing this.
I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right or wrong however. I'm just reading what information is out there on changing to Genesis 2.0.

I've just spent the last 30mins rolling back to 1.9 and for the time being, I'll be sticking with it.

Have the same problem with Release 2.0 but no problems with 2.0 beta and Release Candidates.

Thanks RobG but that doesn't help. It is not laid out in an easy to implement format so it's next useless to me.

Updating Child Themes to HTML5

[RobG]

If you enabled Enable HTML5 markup, just remove it from your function.php and everything will return to normal, but! if you started to change your style.css codings then you will need to complete the change over or uploade a new copy of your old backup copy style.css file style.css.

There's more to converting over to the new HTML5 format and it will require some time to change the elements with in your style.css file.

Support helped me with this and my header issue (on two websites) is now solved.

I took a look at your site and it appears that you are using CSS to add your logo. Since you're using CSS, I would suggest removing the custom header function from your functions.php file.

Remove this:
/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
'width' => 1060,
'height' => 120
) );
