Sorry Kevin, I don't have a Minimum running here to compare it with. If you are using the default stylesheet you should be able to send in a ticket to Studiopress http://my.studiopress.com/help/
One thing I do see is that your background img is positioned wrong, should be center/center or center/top, now it is on the left.

Also on the http://demo.studiopress.com/minimum/ the image is not a background, so your configuration is surely different.

I see there is a div #featured-image-small .smallwrap which I do not know if it exists in the original Minimum? It has a set width of 1140px, where it should be max-width: 100% (maybe only at the smaller screen settings?)

Since a portfolio category link is a one time setup a hack is fine in this situation. Just need to remember to do it!

Great Gary... really one of those where I think now why didn't I come up with that myself 😉 Thanks a lot.

The only place where I can not fix it is in the menu item for "Portfolio" on themes that use the portfolio-post- type like Executive

example: <a href="http://www.webtaurus.nl/portfolio/">my portfolio</a>

It looks like due to the way the portfolio achive page is created, the classes .active etc are not set.

Any idaes there?

Examples of # for toplevel menu-items :
demo.studiopress.com/pretty-pictures, demo.studiopress.com/stretch, demo.studiopress.com/executive, demo.studiopress.com/apparition, which are the latest 4 themes published by Studiopress.

Community themes: http://prettydarncute.com/demos/mompreneur/ , http://demo.zigzagpress.com/megalithe/

There are plenty examples 🙂 ... I overlooked the   .current-menu-ancestor class, so there is the start of a solution. But one that does not get used in any of the examples I mentioned.

Playing with Firebug I can solve this in the Stretch Theme by adding #header .current-menu-ancestor a to the css at line +/- 667

#header .menu li a:hover, #header .menu li:hover a, #header .menu .current-menu-item a, #header .current-menu-ancestor a {   color: #FAEA85; }

Great! I was able to solve it in the site I am working on at the moment... but I would suggest that Brian would start using it in the themes as well, since its a basic usability issue.

(ps. breadcrumbs were my own stupidity, I had just enabled them for pages and for the cpt I needed to enabled them for posts ! )

Thanks again Travis, you rock!

Thanks for the clarification Travis 🙂
I was afraid I was missing some kind of best practices method or was using something which will be deprecated further along the line...

And when the site requires it I use the custom-header option too.

Hi Joyann, I think the code you are looking for is: #subnav .current-page-ancestor a which needs to be added to the styles on line 549 of the stylesheet on the link you provide.

so added to this line: #subnav li a:hover, #subnav li a:hover a:active, #subnav .current_page_item a, #subnav .current-cat a, #subnav .current-menu-item a (add  , #subnav .current-page-ancestor a)

Why is using a custom header "the right way" ? Lately I see quite a few people asking about inserting their logo. Somehow it does not seem intuitive to use a custom header (which is associated with a full size with) to insert a loge which is often only 300px wide.

I have always just disabled the support for custom headers, also since I do not want clients to start playing with it... Will the logo/text method keep working or are there plans to remove it al together? Does anyone know?

Maybe it helps if you post a link to your site... now its helping "blindfolded" 🙂

& for several widths the title-area needs to be adjusted... the (graphic) logo centers but link to home from logo is still in upper left-hand corner.

No worries, others saved my ass and time many times before on the forum... nice to give back this time.

I have not used it myself, but there is information here: <a href="http://genesissandbox.com/add-bootstrap-without-overriding-your-custom-styles">Genesis Sandbox </a> (not by Studiopress afaik) free download, so you can check the code...

Hi Kevin, sorry I don't have the time to dive in deep.. But I think the padding 45px is not such a good idea, works fine without it..

Also the backgroundposition on line 1654 should be different: background-position: center 0 !important; (so not center center which causes the whitespace on top) You only want to center it horizontal in the header, and not also vertical..

I just noticed this on line 1652 of the css : background-size: contain !important; If I comment that out, the logo stops being re-sized and already looks less messed up on the portrait phones and tablet... gives you time to sort it out further.

You need to do something about the width of the menu on iPad landscape and 1024 screens as well. Reducing from 65% to 62 improves a lot. And change the padding on the links to: padding: 20px 12px; (line 294 ) then it fits next to the logo.

Hi Kevin, I usually find it easier to use the logo as a background on the #title-area (line 193 css)  instead of on the header.

When I do that with your logo in Firebug it seems to work when I re-size the page. You probably will have to set the width of the #title-area to 100% and the background position to center on some of the media-queries in your stylesheet as well.

Hope this helps...

A logo at 1140 would not leave any room for a navigation next to it. Your logo at 350px wide will leave 790px to play with for your nav.

It is a bit confusing that the code in the functions.php disables the option in the theme settings to choose between logo image or text logo

Find the code below in your functions.php and change it into comment or remove it altogether, that will bring the option back.

/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
	'width' => 1140,
	'height' => 100
) ); 

Go to genesis theme options and choose "image log" and with the help of the description in this link you should be able to get the result you want.

When I insert the title of your question "Using Custom Post Types in the widgets area"  into Google and just add "Genesis" to it the answer is in the first link of the results (and in the second one )  🙂

You can use the plugin by Nick the Geek.

I just noticed I sent gibberish into my answer.. below is what it was supposed to look like. ( also to see if it works okay this time)

.postid-177 #footer-widgeted , .postid-178 #footer-widgeted {
 display: none;
}  

I miss the preview that you could check before submitting on the old forum

Just use 2 widgets on top of each other. Using the plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-featured-widget-amplified/ you set different properties for each. The first one to display the latest post and the second display whatever number you want, but set an offset of 1. Each instance will provide you with a choice for the image size you want to use.
