For anyone else who might want to achieve the same thing. I did not use any of the code suggested in the link I supplied in my original query.

Instead, I found this: https://gist.github.com/targetimc/cdb8c3e11c5860dda683

And if that link should disappear, here is the CSS. I had to clear the footer widget 4 and align the text to center:

/* Customize Footer Menu */
.footer-widgets li {
display: inline-block;
border-bottom: none;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
.footer-widgets ul.menu > li a {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
text-transform: uppercase;
}

.footer-widgets ul.menu > li:after {
content: "|";
font-size: 0.9em;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}

.footer-widgets ul.menu > li:last-child:after {
display: none;
}

Thanks - I gave up waiting. After much searching I found a plugin which did the job, although I would much rather not have used a plugin which required quite a lot of styling to get it to work properly on the theme. I'm sure there must be some small addition to the php files to have the featured image work as a header on Pages as well as Posts. But I'm not a Php programmer.

I really don't get why theme devs don't include these fundamental functionalities - what works on a Post should also work for a Page to maintain the look and style of the theme. Is it just laziness?

Still waiting for some assistance with this, if anyone would care to provide some.

You will see that the Articles category linked from the main menu, does not have a header image - even if I create a page called articles and make it a Blog page. But the blogs themselves do have featured images in the header.

I'd like the Articles page or category to have a featured image also, but don't know how to achieve this. It seems to me that this should be built in.

In my searching online to find an answer I found this on a review page of the Digital Pro theme, which says it better than I can:

"The home page is divided into 3 widgetized stripes followed by a blog-style list of posts which can be disabled. While the number of posts displayed in this blog-style list can be specified on Settings->Reading->Blog pages show at most, it’s not possible to manage which posts are shown in this content area, such as by setting a category filter."

Hi,

Except that it doesn't work in Digital Pro. Why is that?

[clownfish]

Hi Community

For anyone else who needs to know how to deal with this, there is a plugin called Simply Exclude which filters categories from the front page. Works a treat.

Hi,

I use Backup Buddy but the backup I eventually rolled back to was one I'd done manually - database and files - and had stored remotely.

Hi Christoph,

Thank you so much. I tried your first change but that didn't work even after I cleared the CDN cache. Someone from the support team eventually found a solution which was similar. What has completely stumped us is that the version I started seeking help for was a backup from two months ago which I rolled back to after the website broke, and which worked perfectly at the time it was backed up. The fact that it then displayed exactly the same problems defies logic. Thank you for the HTML markup tips. I will address these.

Hi Susan,
Do you mean the information which I posted privately? Surely that would be for the eyes of trusted moderators only and no-one else? But thank you for removing it.

[clownfish]

Ok. I'm not posting access to the website here, unless private.
Do moderators actually view these posts?

Right, thanks. I finally found the support ticket area and have submitted a ticket. Some forums have theme developers answering questions. Not this one apparently.

I had hoped some nice person on the forum with more knowledge about this theme than I would take a look.

Hi Tom,

I appreciate your comment. I realise the menu is responsive, as is the whole theme, but not in the same way as the demo menu.

I still believe a more complete child theme would provide what is shown in the demo. If the hamburger icon method is available in the demo - and it is possible to have the menu in other places, then the same functionality should be also available.

[clownfish]

For anyone facing the same issue, you can do the following to make your primary navigation responsive - to have a hamburger style menu.

Step One: In the global.js (in the js folder) change all instances of ("header .genesis-nav-menu") to ("nav .genesis-nav-menu")

Step Two: In your style.css in the Media Queries area at the bottom add the following to the media widths you want the hamburger to appear:

.nav-primary {
margin-top: 130px;
padding: 10px 0;
}

You might need to tweak the margin and padding to suit.

You might also want to add the following to other media widths. By default they are only in "(max-width: 782px)"

.responsive-menu {
display: none;
}
#responsive-menu-icon {
display: block;
}

Step Three: Follow this tutorial to have collapsible sub menu items: http://ozzyrodriguez.com/tutorials/genesis/genesis-responsive-menu-2-0/

I hope this is able to help others.

Hi,

Yes, I do mean that. Why would this theme, which is responsive and promoted as responsive, NOT provide the code for a responsive menu????? A menu which it clearly makes available as an option.

And why should I pay more money to another entity to find out how to remedy it???

Thats a very sorry reflection on studio press' ethics to sell a theme which is incompletely coded.

My assumption is that they probably own wpsites.net as well. If not, then whoever does is cashing in beautifully from their coding shortfalls.

Oh well, next step - learn how to make a responsive hamburger menu....

[clownfish]

Perhaps I need to provide more clarification - I mean that the menu does not change to the three line responsive menu icon that is demonstrated on the Centric Pro demo. The css for it is on the stylesheet.
