I've decided to use a completely different approach, found here: http://webdesignerhut.com/fixed-menu-in-genesis-framework/

Hope it'll suit my needs.

Good idea - thank you!

I FINALLY figured it out. Added this to my stylesheet to achieve the same skinny single column effect on single posts only:

.single .site-inner {
	max-width: 50%;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding-right: 270px;
	padding-left: 270px;
}

Then changed my previous code

.full-width-content  .site-inner {
	max-width: 100%;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding-right: 270px;
	padding-left: 270px;
}

to

.home-featured .site-inner {
	max-width: 100%;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding-right: 316px;
	padding-left: 316px;
}

so the skinny 1 column effect appears on the home page, but NOT other full-width pages. (Tweaked the padding so it comes pretty close to the way single posts appear, too.)

Thanks Lauren, for all of your help - it might not seem like you did anything, but your note triggered the entire thought process I needed to arrive at my solution. Thank you! Feel free to mark this thread RESOLVED.

Yes! That does the trick... I guess I should have been more specific. So, I'm trying to achieve 2 goals:

1. On the home page, 1 column, centered, where the text fills 50% width, but the white padding has ~270px of white space on either side, right and left;
2. On single posts, achieving that same look: 1 column, centered, where the text fills 50% width, but the white padding has ~270px of white space on either side, right and left.

My Default Layout is set to Full Width for posts and pages. Initially when I did this, it made my Full Width posts/pages look how I wanted, but screwed up the home page:

.full-width-content .site-inner {
	max-width: 50%;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

So I did this, and now I'm getting the opposite effect: looks perfect on the home page, but too wide on single posts:

.full-width-content .site-inner {
	max-width: 100%;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding-right: 270px;
	padding-left: 270px;
}

The back and forth of trying to get it right on BOTH the home page and single posts is driving me batty!

Thanks Lauren - I figured out how to basically strip the Grid Loop for the latest blog posts and replaced it by using the Genesis Featured Widget in the Home Featured 1 section (making sure to remove Home Featured 2-4) to achieve the 1 column look.

Now the issue I'm running into is that for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get the white padding around the single column of text on the homepage to extend all the way to the right and left instead of showing the background image behind it.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hmm... perhaps I'll start over with fresh portfolio PHP files. I just don't want the landing page for all the photo galleries to be named "Portfolio" - is there a simpler workaround for that that still utilizes all the portfolio functionality?

[kzoll]

Found what I needed here - added this to the front-end.php file before the closing genesis tag. Worked like a charm!

I added the Nax Extras code (minus the comments, per the instructions on Snippets page) but the Select Search/Date dropdown doesn't appear under Genesis > Theme Settings. I'm working in Education Pro theme right now.

...and now it's working. Weird. Probably a cache issue. Nevermind!

I'm having the same issue; no matter what I do, I can't uncheck " Show header text with your image." Using the Genesis Simple Headers plugin. URL: http://keikozoll.com

Thanks Brad - the links over there seemed to do the trick. Now, feeling like a further putz b/c my Search form on my Primary Nav bar is broken into two lines... is this a padding issue?

[kzoll]

*headdesk* Yeah, display:none would do that. 🙂

Thank you Aaron for the prompt and very accurate reply! Off to do a little CSS tweaking.
