on this page template (page-blog.php) besides the menu i had styled; I am getting an

with no styling at the same time.

Any ideas how can i go about it please?

Add

genesis();

to the end of the file and remove

get_header

and

get_footer

as they're already included in the

genesis();

function.

Also, no need for the PHP tags for a custom loop. Only need the opening PHP tag at the very start of the file.

Also, this is the wrong use of a hook

genesis_after_header();

Thanks for your help

What happens is that the content generated from the loop in being placed before the header;
also the content of the post is again generated (no styling seems by default) between header and footer

what might cause this?

[christianmejlak]

Ok sorted out part of it by nesting the loop in a function

any ideas how can i get rid of the content generated automatically pls?

No worries Christian

You'll find many examples of custom genesis loops simply by using Google as true one i linked to may not be exactly what you want.
