    I'm working with the default genesis child them in which I have the primary navigation in the "header right" area. Then my "secondary navigation is in the horizontal bar "Primary Navigation Menu"

    Is there a relatively easy way to make the primary navigation bar show the submenu items from the current page/section selected?
    Rather than dropdowns, I'd like if a use clicks the main navigation into a section, that the pages of that section show up in the secondary navigation bar.

    Here's an exampe:

    If someone clicked "Resources" i want all the pages in that section to show up in the red bar below

    If you know you're way around CSS it's easy. As you can just style the sub-menu to appear as inline-block and position it where you need it. If you don't know CSS, then no.


    I love helping creative entrepreneurs build epic things with WP & Genesis.

    Thanks, yes I know my way around CSS but wasn't really able to figure it out with CSS alone. After a bit more searching, I found a plugin for what I was trying to do, so here is the link for anyone that comes across this thread.

    This will generate the submenu for the current page, but yes you will need to style the submenu.
