Hi, I see this was moved to a different forum. I do not think this is a design issue, it is a bug with the sample code. I was previously using genesis 1.8 with the sample design and it worked properly in touch format. This is supposed to be a fully responsive sample theme and one of the most important components of it does not work properly and hasn't been updated in almost 2 months.
jeff1979MemberThanks for your help Babrees, I am glad its working now too. I don't wish to totally throw the developer under the bus, as I have become more familiar with the technical aspects of it, I can see he was fairly knowlegeable but clearly he was not knowledgeable about genesis and child themes.
Anitac, I am having an issue now with the display, I don't think its major to fix but if you or someone else can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. The programmer appears to have registered 3 menus in wordpress and seems to have done it in the traditional wordpress way. After I installed 1.9.1 and got it working with the child theme, there is another "genesis" system menu, it doesn't show up on the registered menus list in the menus admin screen on wordpress. It has <div id="nav"> and for each item I add to any of the menus, it adds it to this list and pushes my "wrap" div and all the content of the page to the right and out of the view.
I tried using the code snippets on this page:
http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/navigation-menus/
and when I used the one like this:
<code>/** Unregister primary navigation menu */
add_theme_support(
'genesis-menus'
,
array
(
'secondary'
=> __(
'Secondary Navigation Menu'
,
'genesis'
) )</code>
It caused my theme to stop working until I removed it again. When I used this at the bottom of functions.php:
/** Unregister primary/secondary navigation menus */
remove_theme_support(
'genesis-menus'
);
It removed the undesired menu but it also unregistered 2 of the 3 other menus. Being non-technical, I thought the logic was I could put it at the top above all other menu references and it would unregister the undesired menu and then all the other code could declare the menus, but then it the undesired menu remains.
Thanks for your help.
jeff1979MemberI figured it out...it was something to do with text on the top of functions.php. I got it to load now, but it looks like quite a mess and I don't know why because I only changed the headers of the style.css and functions.php, the rest are all the same files.
jeff1979MemberYeah, right now I will just accept making a basic switch without optimizing too much, get it working and then start seeing what is necessary.
I didn't realize until tonight that child theme functionality was a built in function of how wordpress now works. I found the document on their site dealing with this and did the things that it suggested and I installed the latest version of genesis and activated it, then I added the Template: genesis line to the comments at the top of style.css and then I get this error:
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.Name
Descriptionxxxxxxxxxxxx
Template is missing.I have spent an hour seeing if it was a syntax error or whathaveyou and I originally had it case sensitive and I fixed it and refreshed the browser and still get the error.
jeff1979MemberHi Babrees, thanks for the reply. I think I need to clarify. The problem here is he installed genesis and started to work on the base genesis install. I would like to:
1) extract the files necessary for a child theme from the base install.
2) Delete the theme
3) Install the base genesis 1.9.1 thats on the server
4) Reinstall his work as a child theme.
Is there a tutorial on how to do this? Thanks again.
