It was simple, I changed this in functions.php:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'home-middle',
'name' => __( 'Home - Middle', 'executive' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the middle section of the home page.', 'executive' ),
'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
'after_title' => "</h3>\n",
) );

Thank you for your help Anita

Thank you for your reply. I think I found a (simple) solution.

My category pages showed the complete posts. But this way the outbound links of each post accumulated on the category pages.
So I changed the content archives to only show excerpts now. This way their links (which are only in the last paragraph) don't show anymore on category pages.

Thanks to Genesis support: Replacing js/front-page.js with an updated version solves the problem.
Or replace this line in front-page.js:

$( '.genesis-nav-menu a[href*=#]:not([href=#])' ).click(function() {

with:

$( '.genesis-nav-menu a[href*="#"]:not([href="#"])' ).click(function() {

Hi,
I am not sure, but maybe this helps if you only want to reduce the 5th section bottom padding.

It is on line 155 of style-front.css

.front-page-5 .widget-full .featuredpost, .front-page-5 .flexible-widgets.widget-halves.uneven .featuredpost.widget:last-of-type
{
padding: 70px 0 35px 0;
}

But I think it looks really good as it is already.

Hi Rawsta, yes I tried that but couldn't get it to work.

I just found a solution that works on Github by Topleague, so the sitemap shows.

I did use the filters by VictorFont (from your url) to filter out authors and month archives.

Thank you for your help!

Maybe you have to add a wrap for the menu. It is possible that the sec. menu already is there but hides behind the header (as it did in my case), you should see it in firefox then.

I added more things to the theme, so I have to dive into it and try again. As I am quite busy the next weeks, I'm not sure if I can help shortly.
Do you use Infinity? It has a functions file for the frontpage, so also check this.
Another option is to use the Enterprise theme, it has the secondary menu already in place.

Hi W., I didn't document the changes very well, I just checked and saw that I removed the lines that repositioned the menu's and the lines that renamed the secondary menu.
There was a lot of CSS tweaking involved to get it right, most helpful where Victor's suggestions. I solved my problem by adding a top margin.

Good luck!

Dear Victor, thank you for looking at my issue. I never would have found the fixed position caused this! I am trying out some options now, the secondary nav with a fixed position doesn't look nice, a top-margin seemed to work. I will try this in different screen sizes.

Thanks a thousand times!

I tried the Genesis Responsive Header plugin but can't get any images uploaded. Does anyone have other suggestions how to get the header image responsive?

Thanks very much!

Hi Anita, I used the after header hook the first time, as I figured out that was the only way to get it right. Slider is looking good, but navbar still showed before slider.

Tonight I tried this:  http://www.crunchyblogger.com/how-to-change-position-of-navigation-menu-in-genesis/. But navbar still appears above slider. I think I totally miss something and leave it the way it is for now (customer is happy) and digg into this later.

Thank you for your help so far. What do you mean by going vertical instead of landscape?

Dear Anita, that is the tutorial I used to get the widget for the slider! What I need now is to put the slider above the nav-bar.  I'm going to try a custom menu and place that below the slider in the same widget.

Thank you for your kind advice!

[betsie]

Hoi Charlie, thank you so much! Looking at your demo, this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Unfortunately it didn't work in my case, maybe because I used the Nivo slider. I will try again with the Genesis slider and let you know.
