    Hi,
    We are using the Outreach Pro theme on this website:
    http://hemotek-dev.lyndabanks.net/

    There are a couple things we are running into, and I'm hoping that somebody on the forum could please help us with this. I'm a developer that just started helping with this site, and I've never worked with Genesis before. I don't want to just start from scratch because the site is so close to finished.

    Anyway, so far here's what I've been unable to figure out:
    1. If you look at the site we have drop-down menus where the top level item is not a page, simply a custom link. This works fine in desktop view but when I resize the browser window or view the site on a mobile device nothing happens when you click the name of those top level items while the inteded behavior should be to show the submenu. You have to click the little down area to access the submenu. So I would like to know where exactly the code that powers the menu is located. I looked in header.php but there doesn't really seem to be anything there.
    2. On the home page (under the slider), only the widgets show. We would prefer to show the actual content of the "Home" page.
    3. I prefer to use the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin which is fantastic. However, as soon as I Activate it in WordPress, it entirely breaks the Genesis Responsive Slider. The only solution I came up with is to disable the plugin which while fixing the slider doesn't really solve the problem 🙂

    We are kind of on a time crunch which is why I'm helping complete this site. Any ideas or suggestions to fix these bugs would be much appreciated. The Outreach Pro theme is otherwise excellent. Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    1. Mobile touch screen devices don't support the hover action. For mobile devices, you must provide a method for clicking otherwise you'll never get the menu to work.

    2. The Outreach Pro home page by design displays its content through widgets. What do you mean by "actual content?"

    3. Never used the WPBakery Visual Composer. Can't help you here.

    Well, what visual page builder IS compatible with Genesis or does it have its own product?? This is such a standard thing I can't believe it works.

    And I want what I enter in the page to show up instead of widgets.
    Thanks,
    Michael
