    Can someone please give me some advice on how to move the menu underneath the header image in Going Green Pro? I will take the site off maintenance mode now. I need to move the menu and shorten the green background so it does not got across the whole width of the page, just as wide as the content area. Any help would be appreciated.
    thank you

    I read the article and removed this from functions.php

    //* Reposition the navigation
    remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
    remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );
    add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
    add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );

    That moved the menu down below behind the content container, not below the header and above the container like I was trying to do. Should I have added a different function in it's place?

    Thank You,
    Katie

    After removing above the code you need to modify the CSS little bit. Then it will display at proper place.

    Would you possibly be able to look at it http://www.krcreativetesting.com

    I put this style in and it didn't help.

    .nav-primary {
    margin-top: 63px;
    }

    Modify your style.css file:

    Line no 1014 : replace margin-top: 63px to margin-top: 5px

    Line no 820: replace padding: 40px 0 200px to padding: 40px 0 20px;

    Line no 418: replace margin: -160px auto 0 to margin: 30px auto 0

    Now you'll get a good shape

    Thank you! That helped tremendously. I just changed one of the values a bit and got the menu where I wanted it to be positioned.

    So I had the menu moved where I wanted it and now it is not showing up on mobile devices. It looks great on a computer screen. Would someone mind taking a look? http://www.krcreativetesting.com

    Add this in child theme's style.css:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 1023px) {
    
    	.site-header {
    		padding-bottom: 0;
    	}
    	
    	.site-inner {
    		margin-top: 0;
    	}
    
    }

    I checked in my mobile as well.

    Can you try doing a hard refresh?
