    I found this tutorial about how to add dashicons to the genesis menu.

    http://bradpotter.com/add-dashicons-to-the-genesis-framework-header-menu/

    The thing is that when I do it, the dashicons are not linked, only the menu text is linked in the menu. But at his website the icons are well linked. I already contact the author but no response was recieved. Any one can give me a hand?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Your menu items are behaving exactly as on the tut's page. So this is fixed, or were you expecting something different?

    On Brads blog, notice when you hover over his dashicon and that image is clickable? I think that is what this member wants. I've already used Brads code and it does not make the dashicon clickable. Mine just highlights to a different color I used.

    Actually I'd like to know how to do this with my dashicons. lol

    You are entirely correct; I was too quick with the mouseover and my reading skills had a major fade 🙂

    To fix this, please try:

    .genesis-nav-menu a {
      position: relative;
    }

    Edit: to fix the CSS, not my reading skilz!
