The widget on the homepage is being told to have 20px of bottom margin. This is not the case on the other pages. So.... change this:

.home .widget {
margin: 0 0 20px;
}

to this:

.widget {
margin: 0 0 20px;
}

The navigation isn't actually being removed, it's just hidden behind the fixed site header. The site tagline has top margin keeping it from disappearing behind the header. I'd suggest adding 60px of margin to the primary nav on all pages except the homepage.

.nav-primary {
margin-top: 60px;
margin-top: 6rem;
}

.home .nav-primary {
margin-top: 0;
}

I believe this is what you're looking for:

.page .page,
.post,
.search .page {
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30);
background: #fff;
border: 3px solid #fff;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.30);
margin: 0 0 40px;
}

The demo site has a text widget in that area. By using a featured page widget instead, it's calling in this styling:

.entry, .page .post.entry {
margin-bottom: 5rem;
}

Note - Changing this may also change the styling on other areas of your site.

on your fourth div (and all following divs that will be the first in their row) add the .first class:

<div class=”one-third first”>My content</div>
<div class=”one-third”>Some more content</div>
<div class=”one-third”>Some more content</div>
<div class=”one-third first”>Some more content</div>
<div class=”one-third”>Some more content</div>

Hi - any chance you could link to a specific example?

Are you writing your posts in the WordPress editor, or are you pasting the text in from another document (like a Microsoft Word document)? If the latter, MS Word can add a lot of extra HTML that doesn't show up in the visual editor. On one of these posts try selecting the "Text" tab at the top wright of the editor area (next to "Visual") and see if you see additional markup.

Also might be worth noting, the posts are showing with different spacing depending on whether or not I use Google translate.

In your style.css file you have the width of several elements set to 1040px - on the Outreach demo site they have this set to 100%. This is preventing the slider (and other elements from scaling down. In your theme you have:
.content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap,
.full-width-content #content-sidebar-wrap,
.sidebar-content #content-sidebar-wrap {
width: 1040px;
}

The Outreach theme has:
.content-sidebar #content-sidebar-wrap,
.full-width-content #content-sidebar-wrap,
.sidebar-content #content-sidebar-wrap {
width: 100%;
}

In your child theme's style.css file, find the ".executive-home .home-cta" area and adjust the padding to your liking. Currently there is 60px of padding being added to the top & bottom and there is 70px of padding being added to the left & right.

.executive-home .home-cta {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: #222;
box-sizing: border-box;
color: #ddd;
float: left;
padding: 60px 70px;
width: 100%
}

In you CSS it looks like you've added styling to .wrap to make it 1020px wide, but haven't also included styling in the media query to have this scale down on a smaller viewport.

/* Responsive Design
------------------------------------------------------------ */

@media only screen and (max-width: 1020px)

.wrap {
width: 100%;
}

(Really you should add it to the list of all the other elements that are being set to width 100%)

You might also want to remove the left & right padding from #footer .wrap

Cheers!

By dropdown menu, are you speaking of the menu items that appear when you hover over "Lessons" or the vertical list that says:
Site set-up
Choosing your domain
Web hosting
Questions? Email me at page [at] pageteaches.com

If the latter... These are being added by widgets in your header widget area and are not a menu.

With PHP it’s very easy (regardless of what theme you’re using) to get the “white screen of death.” All it takes is something as simple as one missing semi-colon or one extra character. This is why it’s always good to backup your functions.php file before you make changes and also never update code in the WP dashboard. Never. Instead, use a text editor and upload via FTP. On my Mac I use Coda 2 and on my PC I use Notepad++ (that one’s free).

If in the future you get the white screen when making edits to a WP site, just drop the backup of your PHP file (the one that you made before your edits) in to your theme, refresh your screen and voila!

Let me know if you need additional help.

The menu located in the top right of the header is being placed there via a "custom menu" widget being placed in the header right widget area. It is NOT being placed there by Dashboard > Appearance > Menus.

So, to keep the Header Right Menu (the one that you see on the homepage) and remove the one that you see on the secondary pages (above Photography, Prints, Paintings)... Unselect the Primary Navigation Menu in Dashboard > Appearance > Menus (There's a blank whit space in the dropdown, that's what you want).

Just to be clear... You already uploaded your photos in Dashboard > Media > WP-Cycle ... and they are not displaying? If it were me, I'd trouble shoot this problem before moving to something else...

WP-Cycle doesn't work as a widget, so the code I provided would be if you do not want to use WP-Cycle, but rather use a different slider in that widget area. (Keep in mind, additional styling may be required.)

If you wish to widgetize the Home Top #2 area so that you can drag/drop widgets into this are and have them display on the theme... then yes. The change is removing the already existing call for WP-Cycle and replacing it with a dynamic sidebar.

When using the Enterprise theme with WP-Cycle, you don't need to place anything in the Home Top #2 widget area. Instead, WP-Cycle is called by the home.php template file. Photos are uploaded in Dashboard > Media > WP-Cycle. Here is the code from the theme's home.php file that calls WP-Cycle:

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'enterprise_home_top_helper' );
/**
 * Conditionally add Home Top #1 (home-top-1) sidebar and WP-Cycle.
 */
function enterprise_home_top_helper() {

  echo '';

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top-1' ) ) {
		echo '';
		dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-1' );
		echo '';
	}
	echo '';
	if ( function_exists( 'wp_cycle' ) )
		wp_cycle();
	echo '';
	echo '';

}

If you'd like to widgetize the Home Top #2 area (to use something like the Genesis Responsive Slider), replace this:

echo '';
if ( function_exists( 'wp_cycle' ) )
wp_cycle();
echo '';
echo '';

with this:

echo '';
dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-2' );
echo '';
echo '';

I don't see the whitebox/swirl when I look at the chamber chatter page. The fix above should take care of that.
