    Hello,

    I'd like to have a site logo in the main navigation bar between two menus. Please help me with hooks and php codes.

    The design that I need to achieve is here http://i.imgsafe.org/f3defbf.jpg

    I would like to have a Site name and site description as it is in normal Genesis Sample theme. Also I would like to keep the header as it is.

    In the main navigation bar which is under the header I would like to have one menu on the left side then the logo hook and the a second menu which is right aligned.

    Is this possible?

    Hi,

    the Modern Studio child theme uses that kind of layout.

    Just add a widget area before the header for site title and site description and you are good to go.

    Thanks but I think this is not the right solution. Yes, the modern studio theme has similar menu structure but it is missing the header and the Site name & description.

    What I need is to put three elements into the main navigation div/area/or-what-so-ever. The area would have:

    1) Menu #1
    2) Site Logo
    3) Menu #2

    While there I would have to use the CSS style to put them horizontally aligned. That I can do. The problem is that I don't know which hooks to add or remove to put the site logo and menu #2 into the main navigation div.

    Did I make myself anyhow clear? 🙂

    I understood you the first time 😉

    Just add a widget area before the header for site title and site description and you are good to go.

    Register a new widget area: http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/register-widget-area/
    and hook it into genesis_before_header

    Place a text widget in the new widget area with your site title, site description and image.

    Okey, now I understand you. You are saying that I should by the Modern Studio Pro theme and just add the new widget area there.

    What if I don't want to buy the Modern Studio Pro theme and will try to build a menu structure like that in the Genesis Sample theme that I'm using at the moment. What should I do then? Supposedly I have to put actions in 'genesis_after_header' so in the div immediately after header will be filters 'genesis_do_nav', 'filter_widget_where_is_the_logo', 'filter_for_second_menu'?

    Yey!

    After inspecting the Modern Studio child theme code I finally started to understand how menu/logo/menu is made.

    Thanks for help! 🙂
