The #main descriptor doesn't exist in the Magazine Pro style.css. When I added the block you suggested, there was no change.
I fixed it. the .frontpage file was forcing the content-sidebar layout. I commented that out and the secondary sidebar appears.
Yep. That is the dev site - which works fine. On the live site with the exact same theme, the exact same plugins and the exact same widgets, the secondary sidebar does not appear nor does it show in the HTML source - meaning it is not even generated. I can switch to another child theme and the secondary sidebar of that theme appears.
The sidebar appears fine on my dev server -- ithacaindy.com. The problem is with my live server -- ithacaindy.org --which because it is live has a different theme running most times. However, when I switch to Mag Pro, the secondary sidebar never appears. The secondary sidebar will appear in the "live" theme preview, but not after the theme is activated. When Mag Pro is activated it is running the stock child theme with no modifications.
The secondary sidebar has only a widget which lists the recent posts. I'm using Firefox/firebug and the secondary sidebar appears neither in the HTML code nor the page output.
The secondary-sidebar problem seems limited to the Magazine Pro child theme. I switched the live theme to Eleven40 Pro and both sidebars appear. I switch back to MP and only the main sidebar appears.
I just checked out your site on my iPhone and the logo adapts to the screen in portrait mode. However, when the phone is in landscape mode, the logo does not shrink and is cut off on the right. I believe there are some set points for the design, which essentially act as case statements. You just need to create a version of your logo that then is used when that screen size is used.
Thanks, Brad. A follow-up question: how do I get the main nav menu (.genesis-nav-menu?) to stick at the top, but place the submenu (also sticky) below it? Currently, if the submenu nav is populated, it grabs the top spot, obliterating my main menu.
Metro's default layout is full-width. When I insert the image into an article, I assign it to right-align. The key appears to be that the image aligns correctly in the editor, but as soon as I hit "update", the photo jumps to the left above the text. For now, the only option to display the photo, the article and the right rail is to set the attached image to full-size and no alignment.
Very nice. The design is user-centric as well as appealing to the eye, following the current 'flat' design principals. One potential improvement: exchange the current "fuzz" .jpg images with clearer .png files.
As a fellow speed-freak, I second the Pingdom recommendation. There is a similar tool built into Firebug for Firefox and Chrome.
I've completed the external design. I took the 1.9 Sample child theme, set it for full page, created two columns, subdivided one into a splash and then a blog, and used the second for our sidebar.
The goal is to take a post's featured image, display it on the frontpage with styling close to that of the genesis slider. There would never be a slideshow - just one featured photo. Since there is already a feature built into WordPress for obtaining the featured image, I'd like to stay away from adding js plugins, if possible. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of js and database calls on the front page.
The creeping "share me" area at the top does become a little annoying. There is likely a better position for it.
