That makes sense, Lorraine. Here's the template code. Where would I insert the loop then?

<?php

/*
 * Template Name: Home Page 2
 */
/**
 * This file adds the Home Page to the Streamline Pro Theme.
 *
 * @author StudioPress
 * @package Streamline Pro
 * @subpackage Customizations
 */

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'streamline_home_genesis_meta' );
/**
 * Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.
 *
 */
function streamline_home_genesis_meta() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-featured-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-featured-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-featured-3' ) ) {
	
		//* Force content-sidebar layout setting
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_content_sidebar' );
	
		// Add streamline-pro-home body class
		add_filter( 'body_class', 'streamline_body_class' );
	
		// Add homepage widgets
		add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'streamline_homepage_widgets' );

	}
}

function streamline_body_class( $classes ) {

	$classes[] = 'streamline-pro-home';
	return $classes;
	
}

function streamline_homepage_widgets() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-featured-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-featured-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-featured-3' ) ) {

		echo '<div class="home-featured">';
	
		genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured-1', array(
			'before' => '<div class="home-featured-1 widget-area">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
		) );
		
		genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured-2', array(
			'before' => '<div class="home-featured-2 widget-area">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
		) );
		
		genesis_widget_area( 'home-featured-3', array(
			'before' => '<div class="home-featured-3 widget-area">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
		) );

		echo '</div><!-- end #home-featured -->';	

	}

}

genesis();

Thank you, sir! Yes, I did some poking around and found the front-page.php. That combined with the Custom Sidebars plugin I think this will work nicely for the client.

[BlueSunInc]

That worked! Thanks so much.

[BlueSunInc]

I can, I'll give it a shot and let you know what happens. Thanks so much!

[BlueSunInc]

While customizing I had commented out the portion below and another coder on FB caught it. All fixed.

border-top: 1px solid #444;

	left: -9999px;

[BlueSunInc]

Fixed it. Was missing the closing </form> tag in the header widget code.

[BlueSunInc]

It's doing it on the demo too, you can look at it here: http://studio.bluesunstudio-inc.com/teamrcia/

[BlueSunInc]

Thanks for asking. No, I never got a solution for it. Any assistance you could offer would be a great help. Thanks!

[BlueSunInc]

Thanks, contact form sent.

[BlueSunInc]

I'm glad I'm not the only one baffled by it 🙂

[BlueSunInc]

Perfecto! Thanks so much.

[BlueSunInc]

Susan, his site is a goldmine. I found an answer there for making a page template for displaying individual headers on each page. This looks great, thanks so much.

Turns out the theme already had the horizontal bar coded in, but this is helpful too, I'm sure I'll need it sooner or later elsewhere.

[BlueSunInc]

We figured it out. Here's the fix:

it's a setting that comes with the welcome widget. This is basically what needs to be taken care of:

#home-welcome {
    background: url("images/bg-welcome.png") repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 10px 20px;
}

This image is producing the black: images/bg-welcome.png

We removed the image and voila.

[BlueSunInc]

Okay, Anitac, the site is live and you can take a look. Thanks!

Also, the client wants that decorative bar behind the navigation to be attached to the navigation and change when the site is viewed on a mobile device instead of being a static part of the background, any tips for that?

[BlueSunInc]

Cancel this. I fixed it. I replaced that percentage for the width in #services .alignleft with "auto" and it's normal now.

[BlueSunInc]

Thanks Brad, but the plugin didn't make sense to me. I couldn't see how to set it in the actual navigation bar and not in a custom menu in the widget section.

However...I did find this snippet of code I added to the bottom of the CSS and that solved the problem right away:

`.sub-menu{display:inline-block; width:325px !important;}`

`.sub-menu li{width:50% !important;}`

`.sub-menu li a:hover{color:#FFFFFF;}`

`.sub-menu li:nth-child(even){float:right;}`

One problem solved...now does anyone know how to keep the dropdowns from disappearing the second I move the cursor to click on one?

[BlueSunInc]

Thanks, and that's what I need to know next. I have her set up on the Backcountry theme. Also, when hovering over the secondary navigation buttons and going to click on the dropdown items, the dropdowns disappear really quickly. Is there any way to fix that? It's kind of frustrating trying to get the cursor placed just so, so that the dropdown stays.

[BlueSunInc]

That's okay, I figured it out. It was as simple as changing the size of the thumbnail in the Featured Gallery widget. Total "duh" moment.

[BlueSunInc]

Thanks Susan, those are very helpful and on the right track. Now there's just the question of the optin form in the header she wants on the interior pages only. I'm thinking the Custom Sidebars plugin might work. Do you have any ideas for that?
