Look under appearance/menu's. Do you see 'Categories'. Under categories, select the category you want to display in the menu.
Rename your plugins folder and see if it loads correctly. If so, it indicates a plugin conflict. You then need to correct your plugins folder name, deactivate all plugins, then activate one by one until you find the plugin conflicting with Genesis Framework.
1. Potential Plug-in Conflict
Rename the plugins folder (plugins folder2) either in cpanel or using ftp (filezilla), thereby disabling all plugins. Now try access the admin dashboard. If you can access the admin dashboard when the plugins folder is renamed, then there is a conflict with one of your plugins. If it is a plug-in issue, rename the plug-in for back to plugins, and then rename all the plugins inside the folder. One by one, restore the plug-in name to the original name until the site breaks. That way you can isolate if it is a plug-in.2. PHP version
Do you know what version of PHP your site was hosted in with your previous host. If it was an earlier version than what you are using now, you may have a plug-in that conflicts with the version you are using now.Start with those. This past week I switched to SiteGround and my sites feel faster. They are a good host.
This is how I resolved it. I made show content the default for displaying blog categories which resolved the issue with video not showing in the loop. For the other category I used the following code in the page template:
category-blog.php
<?php /** * Template Name: Category Blog * Template Post Type: post * @package WordPress * @subpackage Genesis * */ add_action('genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'do_blog_posts'); function do_blog_posts() { // Remove 'site-inner' from structural wrap add_theme_support('genesis-structural-wraps', array('header', 'footer-widgets', 'footer')); // Remove the post content remove_action('genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content'); // Display the post excerpt add_action('genesis_entry_content', 'the_excerpt'); // add_action('genesis_entry_content', 'sc_get_excerpt', 10); //* Modify the length of post excerpts add_filter('excerpt_length', 'sp_excerpt_length'); function sp_excerpt_length($length) { return 200; // pull first X number of words } // Display Category Title in the Heading Section echo '<div class="background_black page_header_row text_light">'; echo '<div class="wrap">'; echo '<h1>Blog Posts</h1>'; echo '</div>'; echo '</div>'; } genesis();
