Yes that is correct Richard, essentially there was OVER 1000px (in width) trying to fit inside a 1000px space which was forcing the element to drop onto the 2nd line.

As for your blog page, I notice this is at 1140px width (which differs from your chess rating page), this is why you did not get the issue on your blog page,

Hope that makes sense Richard, and no problem, nice to meet you too.

No problem at all Richard, happy to help and glad it is working for you now.

To answer your question, .site-header .widget-area was set to 800px wide which takes up the whole space and this was causing the element to drop down onto the next line, narrowing this element so that the total width of it PLUS your logo to 800px or less lets the 2 elements sit on the same line. Does that make sense?

I see. If you set the max-width of .Standard_Gen-landing .wrap back to 800px and modify the width of .site-header .widget-area from 800px to 50%, I think that should work.

Hi Richard, not sure if it is intentional or not but there is a min-width of 800px being applied to .Standard_Gen-landing .wrap, removing that should make a difference.

I see. I beleive WordPress will ignore the page template for any page that is set to the posts page. It might be worth you trying this https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-page-custom-template/, note I have not tried that myself but reading the description it seems to allow you to set page templates to the post page.

Hi, is there anything in your child themes functions.php referencing genesis_before?

Hi hobbygirl66, the below is a good starting point, add this to your functions.php

//this removes the title
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_entry_header_markup_open', 5 );
remove_action( 'genesis_entry_header', 'genesis_entry_header_markup_close', 15 );
//add custom header
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'custom_content' );
function custom_content(){
    //tweak to match your style
    echo "<div style='width: 100%; padding: 50px; background-color: #52BAD5'>";
        echo get_the_title();
   echo "</div>";
}

Humm, if you replace the code in your custom loop with the following, do you see any blog posts?

if ( have_posts() ) :
	while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();   
	    echo "<h2>" .  get_the_title() . "</h2>";
	endwhile;
endif;

Hi vanessa, in order to link the site description to a different url than the logo, I beleive you will need to create a custom header. The following code would be a starting point, in your functions.php...

remove_action('genesis_header', 'genesis_do_header'');
add_action('genesis_header', 'customHeader');
function customHeader(){
  //custom header here
}

The best answer here should help you http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18828500/customize-genesis-header

Hi, never used this theme myself so not 100% sure on al the settings, but adding the following to your CSS should get rid of that black box...

.after-entry {
    display: none;
}

Hi Greg,

Just so I understand completely, you are trying to create a custom page template that you would like to use as your blog page, is that correct?

Is this blog page going to be styled differently than the other archive pages? If not then you may be better off creating a custom archive page rather than a page template.

Would it be possible to show the code you have running in your custom loop function?

No problem gemmasantos.
After registering for a membership you will have access to a members area that has a documentation section. The documentation covers my themes in general and I am currently working on more detailed, theme specific documentation for each theme. You would also have access to support (basic or VIP depending on your membership) where I would be more than happy to help you out.
As for plugins, there are recommended and required plugins. To get your site looking exactly like my theme demo yes you will need to install all the plugins that are recommended to you on theme activation. There is one required plugin, the rest are recommended, the required plugin is needed. I have built all the themes like this for a number of reasons, one of the big ones being that if you were to change theme somewhere down the line, you would still be able to keep all the extended functionality for example custom post types, but with themes that have have a ton of functionality built directly in the theme files, this would not be the case.

Hi Peppinl,

I'm sorry to hear about your ordeal, going forward it may well be worth installing a security plugin, I usually use https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulletproof-security/, the plugin primarily secures your site through the .htaccess file.

You may want to take a look at my latest business theme Simples http://llamapress.com/demos/?theme=Simples, there doesn't seem to be anything on the site you linked to that you cant accomplish with Simples.
If Simples is not for you, I would suggest doing a filter on the StudioPress themes and looking through the "Business" category.

Hi pixelpointpress, to register a widget area you will want to use genesis_register_sidebar() and to call your widget area you will want to use genesis_widget_area(), all this can go in your functions.php.

Sorry Neeznoodle but if you have set the home page to show only latest posts and you have also configured the Genesis archive settings in the Genesis theme settings area to show only your custom excerpts then I am not too sure without having a closer look at your set-up.

Perhaps another developer here knows of a solution, anyone?
