David ChuParticipantHi,
That would be in this chunk of CSS:.ion-navicon-round:before { content: "\f20d"; }
If you add a font-size and play with it, you can change the size until it looks good.
Cheers, Dave

I'd be happy to discuss this with you. I'm extremely experienced with building custom themes with Genesis, and also have worked with Thesis 1.8.Cheers,

David ChuParticipantRoger,
Here's one you could try.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/youtube-embed-plus/People also often don't realize that a plugin isn't always the answer. Sometimes a more manual method will work fine. YouTube makes embedding fairly straightforward.

Yes, it could be knocked out in the next theme upgrade. But there is a small complication. Since you're just commenting out code rather than adding new code, commented out code in a custom CSS file will be ignored. So I'd suggest just re-commenting the code if it gets over-written.That said, I don't think you'll see too many child theme upgrades, and even if there are some, you often don't have to upgrade. The last time there was a really solid reason to upgrade child themes was when they went from XHTML to HTML5, and that was a long time ago.

November 20, 2015 at 4:55 pm in reply to: Genesis Responsive Slider – Sort slides by menu order? #171683David ChuParticipantGlad you did well with it! It's true, there can be complications with various mixtures of Post types, and other plugins.
There are a variety of other such plugins, for instance some will only do Custom Post Types, others do Pages, and so on. Something for everybody. 🙂
Friends don't let friends set dates on each Post if they can help it! 🙂
Cheers, Dave

November 20, 2015 at 10:30 am in reply to: Genesis Responsive Slider – Sort slides by menu order? #171633David ChuParticipantThat is a pain, indeed. Changing post dates to organize stuff is not fun for clients or geeks. To me, menu order isn't any more fun.
Have you tried this? It's my favorite way of dealing with that sort of problem. Drop and drop wonderfulness. Last I looked, the only quirk was that you need to click "Save" after shuffling things around.

David ChuParticipantHi,
Good question. It's more of a menu setup/organization issue. Like many sites, you have non-clickable top links on that menu whose only purpose is to show the dropdowns when you hover over them. To me, these are sort of last year. 😉 I looked at the demo of that theme, and it works the same way, and has the same problem. With that setup, I think all you can do is hope that they click on the little down arrows instead of on the category name - that will show the real links. That may, in fact, be OK even though it's not exactly great usability.Sorry that's probably not a satisfying answer. I wrote an article about how to get submenu items to appear when clicking items in a menu (you use no dropdowns in this scenario). It does require some work.

Here's one that has that in mind, as well as lots of other nice features, Caroline.Dave

David ChuParticipantYou're totally in the right area. I'm missing it probably because I'm using web dev tools rather than being in there. It's not a hard fix for someone like me. My code examples likely aren't specific enough to cover all situations.
Normally at this point I'd say you have a direction to investigate. I feel frisky today, though. If you'd like to write me and give me a WP login, I will go in there and just fix it for you, no charge. 🙂

David ChuParticipantHi!
I believe I erred on this. Please try this instead. It simply vanishes it at the lower size rather than changing the content.@media only screen and (max-width: 800px) { .dashicons-menu:before { display: none; } }
Dave

David ChuParticipantChristine,
That's an interesting little problem. You want that hamburger on larger screens, but not on small screens because the upper hamburger does the job there. So you don't want to just vanish the first one everywhere, but only on narrow screens. Here's a bit of code for your style.css to do just that.@media only screen and (max-width: 800px) { .dashicons-menu:before { content: ""; } }

October 18, 2015 at 1:48 pm in reply to: Backstretch and JetPack Carousel Problems after upgrading to WP 4.3.1 #168393David ChuParticipantYou're welcome, and sorry that happened to you!
On your own machine, if there's malware there, something like Malwarebytes may help you clean up.

Sorry to tell you this, but it looks like you have a ton of malware on at least one site, the Winston one. I would have to guess that the others may be hacked, too. It's most likely that this is what's causing weird site behavior. I was clued into this when the site took forever to load, and I could see a bunch of unrelated sites trying to load stuff.Why would it happen on more than one site? Various possibilities. If you did all the installs, you may have malware on your own computer. If not, you may have used a malware-infected install file, although I'd guess that the former is more likely.
I would suggest getting Sucuri to clean it if you aren't experienced at this.
Good luck,
Dave

David ChuParticipantHi Emily!
Oh, yes, Soliloquy non-Lite, with a license. Gee, I'm not sure, but I think you're onto something. I just installed Soliloquy Lite, and had the same non-result, no matter what I tried. They must be doing things a bit differently from your typical plugin.So short of pawing through all the code, I don't have an clear recommendation. There are plugins that deal with this - you could try some of this stuff. Of the stuff there, Easy Updates Manager looks promising.
Have a nice weekend! Dave

David ChuParticipantEmily!
How are you? 🙂There are a number of ways to do this. They do involve code changes, so consider doing a backup first.
One fairly painless method: when you go to Plugins, you'll see your plugin there, along with its update message. There will be a link to edit the plugin. When you go in there, right near the top you'll see a version number of the plugin. The trick is to change that to a huge number, like 999, and save. That should keep the message away for a really long time. 🙂
Another method can be seen here. A little more coding, but not much. If you try that, note the comment below that talks about using that code for more than one plugin on a site.
Hope that helps!

David ChuParticipantHi,
I'll help with one item, the alignment and size of the image. In admin, go to Genesis.... Theme Settings, and scroll down to Content Archives. There you have several options for its appearance.Dave
