The changes you want to make are in the style.css file of your child theme. Make sure to create a backup of this file before editing and then do the following:

BLACK LINE UNDER HEADINGS

Open style.css of your child theme and go to around Line 1497 until you find the setting for .entry-header::after

.entry-header::after {
	border-bottom: 1px solid #000; /* the line itself - you can either remove this line entirely or comment it out */
	content: "";
	display: block;
	margin: 0 auto 60px; /* spacing - you can adjust the 60px down to whatever value you want */
	padding-bottom: 30px; /* spacing - you can adjust the 30px down to whatever value you want */
	width: 25%;
}

You can hide the line by removing border-bottom. Also to close up the space (if you want to) would be done by adjusting the margin setting of 60px and padding-bottom of 30px. You just need to experiment until you find it pleasing to the eye. See the comments above that I've included.

BLACK LINE AT THE END OF POSTS

Very similar to the above solution only backwards on the spacing. In your style.css of your child theme go to around Line 1510 until you find .entry-footer::before

.entry-footer::before {
	border-top: 1px solid #000; /* the line itself - you can either remove this line entirely or comment it out */
	content: "";
	display: block;
	margin: 30px auto 0; /* spacing - you can adjust the 30px down to whatever value you want */
	padding-top: 60px; /* spacing - you can adjust the 60px down to whatever value you want */
	width: 25%;
}

Hope that helps.

Hi Greg,

Can you provide a link to your website?

[Mike]

Hi kmpro,

Could you provide a link to the topic to help others who have the same question? That would be very cool.

Hi Peter,

It looks like your using a plugin from Genesis Club Pro. If that is correct, I would suspect that the developer, Russell Jamieson, would be able to offer some suggestions.

From what I can see in your screen grab, you could do the same thing with the native Genesis plugin called Genesis Simple Edits which is created by the developers of Genesis itself. More bullet-proof over commercial third-party plugins.

Configuration is dead simple and can configured easily to do what you are after I believe.

Hope that helps.

I've definitely been in the situation you describe & am glad you were able to come up with a solution. I've found that learning the Genesis way is both challenging but extremely rewarding.

// IE fix
add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'sk_ie_display_mode' );
function sk_ie_display_mode()   {
    echo '<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">';
}

Thanks for this Karen! Saved me a load of time.

Hi tahir,

Check out the widget areas. Specifically Home-Top, Home-Middle & Home-Bottom. Place the Genesis Featured Posts widget in one of those widget areas until you get the desired effect. Adjust the category and offset as needed.

Hi pdblizzard,

Were you able to modify your functions.php file for the child theme? If so did you have to adjust the .site-inner padding: 10% 20%;? Just wondering how that worked for you.

Best,

Mike

Hi Ed,

Are you using the Genesis - Featured Post widget in the Front Page 1 widget area?

Mike

[Mike]

Actually I'm looking for a way to assign the featured image as the background like StudioPress does on the Stretch theme where it fades in when you go to a different page or post. Looks like it is archived but the demo is here: http://demo.studiopress.com/Stretch/

Thanks for the help.

[Mike]

Has anyone else been able to do this? I'm sure the link provided is very helpful but I don't have $37 to drop on a snippet right now.

Hi Brad,

Nice tutorial! Question: Is there anyway to have that header image scale (in mobile view) without creating that space between it and the primary navigation as it gets smaller? Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks again for all your help,

Mike

[Mike]

That worked perfectly Jamie. Thanks so much!

Mike

[Mike]

Thanks for the tips Brad. I'll check them out for sure. Much appreciated.

[Mike]

Thank you for the follow up on this topic Susan.  It is much appreciated and very helpful for any future projects that may require Genesis.

[Mike]

Cool.  So I'm not telling you anything new.  Thanks again for your guidance.  It is much appreciated.

[Mike]

Sure.

I did what SoZo suggested and googled "Using Gravatars in WordPress" and came across Bill Richardson's blog, a well respected developer in both Genesis and Thesis.  Bill had an article on this at http://www.billerickson.net/using-gravatars-in-wordpress/

I kinda took the long way around but Bill made it easy to understand and since Thesis has recently released version 2, I bought the developer version.  It is a lot different than Genesis but extremely powerful for the person like me who is not a novice but isn't a full-fledged developer either.  I like owning both Genesis & Thesis as each framework has its strengths and weaknesses.  Another tool in the toolset.

All that said, my client was more than happy so all ended well.

Best Regards,

Mike

Oh and thanks Debs!  I didn't see your link at the bottom.  I came up with a different solution so all is good.  Thanks again!

Debs,

Maybe this will help.  It's from Nick in reponse to my email inquiring as to how much support I should expect or not expect as the case may be as a Pro-Plus member.  This was prompted by this ticket.

Take it for what it is.

Best Regards,

Mike

Ok, I'm not a programmer so I can't decipher this.  Let's try the other avenue.  What would I need to add to the before_post_title hook to get the functionality I'm looking for?
