I think the theme is Metro Pro. Maybe contact Studiopress?

I think the "Read more posts" shows up when you use excerpts or content limit in the featured posts widget.

Bob,
Are you using the Featured Posts widget or the Recent Posts widget? With either widget, you can indicate the number of posts you want to display.

I'll show you the original code, then the modified code.

Place the MODIFIED code in the Custom CSS section (Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS):

ORIGINAL CODE:

.executive-pro-home .home-cta {
    background-color: #222;
    color: #ddd;
    float: left;
    padding: 60px;
    width: 100%;
}

.executive-pro-home .home-cta p {
    color: #ddd;
}

MODIFIED CODE:

.executive-pro-home .home-cta {
    background-color: #ddd;
    color: #222;
    float: left;
    padding: 60px;
    width: 100%;
}

.executive-pro-home .home-cta p,
.executive-pro-home .home-cta h1,
 {
    color: #222;
}

Also, delete all local styling with spans:
<span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span>

Sorry you didn't get a reply. Now, we can't access the site.

URL is in another language. I don't think this site is accessible any more. Sorry you didn't get a response earlier.

Hi, Sorry you didn't get a response to this. I don't see the social icons, so I'll just address the search bar part of your question.

Here are 2 ways to enlarge the search bar:

ORIGINAL CODE:

.genesis-nav-menu .search-form {
    color: #333;
    width: 100%;
}

OR

.genesis-nav-menu .search-form input[type="search"] {
    color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    font-size: 9px;
    font-style: italic;
    font-weight: 300;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width: 100%;
    background:  0% 0% / 36px 16px transparent;
    padding: 10px;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    border-image: initial;
}

MODIFIED CODE:

.genesis-nav-menu .search-form {
    color: #333;
    width: 100%;
    padding: 14px;
}

OR

.genesis-nav-menu .search-form input[type="search"] {
    color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    font-size: 9px;
    font-style: italic;
    font-weight: 300;
    letter-spacing: 2px;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    width: 100%;
    background:  0% 0% / 36px 16px transparent;
    padding: 12px 20px;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-style: solid;
    border-color: rgb(51, 51, 51);
    border-image: initial;
}

You can use whatever padding you like; this is just an example.

Good to know you've fixed it!

You might want to ask the theme developer. My guess is that, if you did want a border, you could easily insert do that by changing the color and taking out the negative margin-top.

Sorry you didn't get a response. The site looks great. But I don't understand the question. Is this still a question you have or have you resolved the issue?

Sorry you didn't get any responses to your question. Have you tried placing two widgets above the header?

We can't see the site. It's hidden by a Coming Soon page.

Have you figured this out? The home-featured section looks like it is directly underneath the header.

It looks like the site container ("site-inner") is wide enough (max-width: 1200px), but the full-width content area has a narrow width. Try making the content areas wider, like this:

ORIGINAL CODE

.full-width-content .content {
    float: none;
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 660px;
}

.content {
    background-color: transparent;
    float: right;
    width: 660px;
}

MODIFIED CODE

.full-width-content .content {
    float: none;
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 960px;
}

.content {
    background-color: transparent;
    float: right;
    width: 960px;
}

Not sure what happened to my first reply, so I'm reposting.

There are several ways to add a new widget area. Here are some of the best tutorials I've found for different scenarios:

Where are you putting your changes?
(1) Directly in the styles.css file? In what area: editing the existing code or adding your changes at the bottom?
(2) In Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS?

If you edited the styles.css file and cleared the cache, yet still don't see the changes, I suggested adding your modifications to the Additional CSS area. That usually overrides all other styles.

If the headings have a class, you'll also have to modify the class.

ORIGINAL CODE:

h1 {
    font-size: 30px;
}

h2 {
    font-size: 40px;
}

h3 {
    font-size: 30px;
}

h4 {
    font-size: 28px;
}

h5 {
    font-size: 24px;
}

h6 {
    font-size: 20px;
}

MODIFIED CODE:

h1 {
    font-size: 48px;
}

h2 {
    font-size: 38px;
}

h3 {
    font-size: 36px;
}

h4 {
    font-size: 32px;
}

h5 {
    font-size: 28px;
}

h6 {
    font-size: 24px;
}

Have you set the site layout to full width?
Genesis > Theme Settings > Site Layout > Full Width Content

Did you find the answer?
When I look at the site, the menu is at the bottom of the header section, so I'm not sure if you fixed it or I'm not understanding the question.
