Put Metro Primary Menu in Subnav Left Widget Area

[gretchenlouise]

I've tried putting a Custom Menu Widget in the Subnav Left Widget Area of the Metro Theme, but it doesn't look a thing like the menu is supposed to. Is there any way to replace the Subnav Left Widget Area with the Primary Menu, so that the Primary Menu is on the left and the Subnav Menu is on the right?

Thank you!

Is there any way to replace the Subnav Left Widget Area with the Primary Menu, so that the Primary Menu is on the left and the Subnav Menu is on the right?

Yes.

In functions.php, change

// Adds widget area before the .menu on #subnav
add_filter( 'genesis_do_subnav', 'child_do_subnav_widget', 10, 2 );
function child_do_subnav_widget( $subnav_output, $subnav ){
	ob_start();
	genesis_widget_area( 'subnav-left', array(
		'before' => '<div class="subnav-left widget-area">',
	) );
	$widget_area = ob_get_clean();

	return str_replace( $subnav, $widget_area . $subnav, $subnav_output );
}

to

// Adds widget area before the .menu on #subnav
add_filter( 'genesis_do_subnav', 'child_do_subnav_widget', 10, 2 );
function child_do_subnav_widget( $subnav_output, $subnav ){
	ob_start();
	echo genesis_do_nav();
	$widget_area = ob_get_clean();

	return str_replace( $subnav, $widget_area . $subnav, $subnav_output );
}

and then to remove the Primary navigation below the header, add this:

remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );

That worked beautifully! Except that I'd like to have just one line of navigation instead of two. Is there a way to specify the width of each nav bar and have it only be half the width? Thank you!

I figured it out. A simple float: left. Thank you so much!
