Thank you Johann.
Your suggestions solved the problem!

Brad, no change if I use the genesis-before hook ... same result.

Johann, if you take a look at http://www.technologix.ca it will show what I am trying to accomplish. The navigation is inside the header, as I want it to be. What I am trying to do is ADD a small section ABOVE the header where I can place a widget with another menu.

Your suggestion to remove the white gap worked. Thank you. But the problem is still there... If you look at the website now you still cant see the widget area at the top. Yet if you increase the zoom enough it will show up with the text = 'hello there' on the right side.

I am quite sure the issue is in the style.css, but I don't know enough code to resolve it.

Thank you Christoph... implemented a good solution with the kiwi carousel plugin.

Hi pcg51,
I am trying to implement my new site using Parallax and I would like to do exactly what you did with yours: move the logo above the nav menu at the top, and center both. Would you be willing to share with me the code changes you made to make yours work? I tried to follow the replies but I am not certain of what/where has to be changed.

Many thanks.
Jerry

Thank you for replying!
I like the way you organized the Home Section 2 with the 4 logos.
At first I thought they were 4 widgets but maybe it is one widget with 4 columns?
The widget code would be very helpful.....
Regards,
Jerry

Thank you!
This will help a lot.

By the way, we seem to have graduated from the same CSS school !!!

Hey Brad
I love the visuals of your individual pages with their margins, such as 'conect-with-brad'.
Where in the code did you do that?
Thanks,
Jerry

Love the look of your site.
I also have Parallax and would like to add widgets to a home section.
Any suggestion where to get the 'recipe'?

Thanks
Jerry

Solved the problem!
It was the padding settings for the full-width layout in style.css - rows 1289-1291

[jbendiner]

I may have found the problem Brad.
I think (need to confirm it) that in the Parallax theme the width you see in my example is the full width.
It does not cover the entire width as we would expect.

I say that because I checked the landing page in the demo:
http://my.studiopress.com/themes/parallax/#demo-full

And then I checked the corresponding php for the landing page in the theme:
It includes the full width statement:

//* Force full width content layout
add_filter( 'genesis_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

From this I deduct that at least in this theme the full width is narrower.
If so, is there a place in the THEME files where the full width size can be adjusted?

Thank you for your feedback.

Sorry, I mean I selected the sixth layout in your picture (header+no sidebar)

[jbendiner]

if i select that one it displays the default layout: content+widget
I want no widgets - full width, that is why I selected the fourth layout in your picture
Not working.... as you can see it displays the page without widgets, but not full width

[jbendiner]

It is set to header+ no sidebars...

Hi Brad,
If you check the php file I created, it does include the statement you suggest (in fact I followed an article you wrote on this subject..). My file is called template_portfolio.php and the template is created, but doesn't display full width. The php code is as follows:

<?php
/**
* This file adds the Portfolio template to the Parallax Pro Theme.
*/

/*
Template Name: Portfolio
*/

// Force full width page layout
add_filter( ‘genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout’, ‘__genesis_return_full_width_content’ );

//* Run the Genesis loop
genesis();

Thanks
Jerry

Hey Brad
As it happens the space is in fact part of the design (check the demo...).
I followed your suggestion with Firebug, found the place in the style.css that needed to be changed and I fixed da problem (line 1349). Scary!!!

Thank you again for your input. This taught me a lot.

Jerry

[jbendiner]

Thank you Brad
I just downloaded the theme this week and have not touched any CSS...
I will install Firebug and see if I can figure out what it is and how to adjust it.
