    Hi everyone I'm a front end dev but haven't had any experience delving into the workings of WordPress or themes just the admin side.

    A friend has asked me to help out with a quick fix on her site. - http://3storymagazine.com/ which uses a genesis child theme - I don't know what's happened to the regular dev and I'm doing it for free as they are a good friend.

    There is a background image currently hooked onto #menu-main-menu. Apparently, this image needs to be a link.

    I have FTP access and thought I could maybe add an anchor tag after the unordered list and reposition it with CSS but I can't find where to do it.

    Is anyone able to help?

    I would take the image out of the #menu-main-menu css entirely and use the genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap hook to create the link under the subnav. The easiest way to do this is to install the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin and add your code directly to the genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap area. You can manipulate the position and spacing through css as you normally would.

    Victor beat me to it and his answer is more direct and informative 🙂

    The only other option I was going to suggest is the Magazine theme as an ad image space in the header area that can go beneath their full width header image.
