Friend,
Now on my 4th day of tweaking the Education Theme, this has been a very frustrating ride - I hope you can help. (And hey... not a complete novice here - I have 57 websites, most of which are WordPress but with different themes on them. This is only my second Genesis theme).
The website I'm setting up is http://LessonsFromMyGrandson.com I've read TONS of articles found on Google, watched 17 videoes already, and still I can't get my version to look like the Education Theme example found here: http://demo.studiopress.com/education/
Here's what I need help with and hope you have some suggestions:
1) I REALLY like the blue tabs - but no matter what I do, I can't seem to figure out how to get them. The links on the menu line are boring, and the tabs were one of the reasons I got THIS theme. How is this created (since simply creating my Primary Menu doesn't do it)?
2) No matter what I do, I can't switch the menu line into the Secondary position either. I have TWO custom menus created, have the widget for custom menu in the Right Header area with the proper menu listed. NADA. Nothing works.
If I can't get the tabs, I'll go for the menu in the header... but so far I can't get it to work. (Really - I KNOW how it's supposed to work - I have it there on my other Genesis website).
3) Please look at the home page and right above the slider you'll see "Lessons From My Grandson." I cannot figure out how to get rid of that. First I thought it was breadcrumbs... nope. Then I thought it was pulling it from the site's name, but when I temporarily changed the name of the site on the General page, this did not change. I thought it might be connected to the slider, but I don't see where anything like that was added.
I can "live with" the other things that aren't working (like the header - I REALLY want the site name over to the left where EDUCATION is on the main site, but if I create a full-size graphic and put the text on the left, it quickly disappears when shrinking the site to see how it work with cell phones and tables. I bought this because it's responsive. I even added that "responsive header" plug that several people recommended, created graphics 240, 320, 480, and 768 pixels wide, but that didn't work as well as what I have now), but hope to get these things fixed.
As I said... this has been REALLY frustrating. I used to set up a whole site with the first 10 blog posts in about 3 hours, not 3+ days. Hope you can help.

TheVideoMarketingGuys.comCouldn't access your site. Do you have the 57 websites all on the same server?
@Brad - it seems the space after the URL was included. Here's the link:
http://LessonsFromMyGrandson.com
Oh, no... 57 websites on LOTS of different serves.
So... any ideas for me to get the Education Theme working as promised by StudioPress?

3. Paste this code at the end of your child themes style.css file.
#genesisresponsiveslider-widget-2 h4 { display: none; }
Doesn't seem to have worked. I put it just INSIDE the last } and also tried it on the other side.
Still have the problem.
Paste it after the last }
On a seperate line.
It works because i tested it on your site as a new CSS rule using Firebug.
@Sean Thanks. I swear I tried it that way too... but it sure does work. Thanks so much. It was driving me crazy!
Any way to work your magic on my questions 1 and 2? Here they are again:
1) I REALLY like the blue tabs – but no matter what I do, I can’t seem to figure out how to get them. The links on the menu line are boring, and the tabs were one of the reasons I got THIS theme. How is this created (since simply creating my Primary Menu doesn’t do it)?
2) No matter what I do, I can’t switch the menu line into the Secondary position either. I have TWO custom menus created, have the widget for custom menu in the Right Header area with the proper menu listed. NADA. Nothing works.
If I can’t get the tabs, I’ll go for the menu in the header… but so far I can’t get it to work. (Really – I KNOW how it’s supposed to work – I have it there on my other Genesis website).
