Thanks very much @braddalton

Thank you @braddalton. I was having problems at 1024, 768 and 480 screen width. Basically everything that isn't desktop.

I've followed your advice and added a css rule in the media queries. This is what I added:

.featured-box {
		max-width: 768px;
	} 

.featured-box {
		max-width: 1023px;
	}

and for the smartphone:

@media only screen and (max-width: 360px) {

.featured-box {
		max-width: 360px;
	}

This works only at the 768 screen width, on the others it's still too big.

I'm probably looking at it too simple. Any more advice would be very helpful.

Cheers

ok I realize now it was a stupid question. I had the Genesis > Content Archives >Entry Excerpts setting on. I just switched it to Genesis > Content Archives >Entry content and set the limit and the button is there now.

I got this figured out by starting another forum thread.

to center that menu, add a text align center to the subnav

#subnav {
  text-align: center;
}

then remove the float: right on the menu items and add a display: inline-block instead

#subnav .genesis-nav-menu li {
  display: inline-block;
  float: none;
}

Many Thanks to Jamie Mitchell from http://www.jamiemitchelldesign.com.au

Great! Thank you so much Jamie. You're awesome.

And that's a cool dog in your profile picture.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for helping out.

I've moved the menu to the bottom of the site using the following code in the functions.php file.

//* Reposition the secondary navigation menu
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_do_subnav' );

It has 4 buttons: contact, disclaimer, terms&conditions and privacy policy

[Peter]

Anyone else want to chime in?

I've been trying out some other things I've found on the forum but it's not working.

Cheers,

Peter.

[Peter]

Thanks for your reply.

I have no idea why it won't let you inspect the code. But that's the code I used to reposition the navigation menu.

I tried changing the hook but that doesn't change much.

[Peter]

Thanks for your reply nutsandbolts.

I checked out the option you suggested to do it with hooks. I googled it and the same avatar pic of you came up the second place, that was pretty cool :-).

Eventually I used this method(because I don't completely get it with these hooks): http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/navigation-menus/

[Peter]

I found the problem. I used the landing page template for my pages and the footer widgets where deactivated. Just had to remove the following line in the page_landing.php file:

//* Remove site footer widgets
remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );

But now I still don't have like on the demosite. It's three widget areas, not six. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply @Pixel Frau.

The problem was there wasn’t a page attributes box with landing page template to be seen. Eventually I reinstalled WordPress, Genesis and the minimum Pro child theme and then the page attributes box showed up when I added a new page.

I created the new page, chose landing page under page attributes, and in general settings – reading – I checked the “show static page” box. But I still had the normal look of the minimum pro child theme on the homepage, with the site title in the header and the grey header banner thing. It wasn' showing my landing page on the homepage.

the solution for this: The theme has a custom home page layout that conflicts with setting your landing page as the home page. You just have to rename frontpage.php to something else, like frontpage-old.php (or delete the file from the server).

@anitac Thank you very much anyway for taking the time to help me out.

[Peter]

@anitac - I did what you said but without effect, there wasn't a page attributes box with landing page template to be seen. Now I've reinstalled WordPress, Genesis and the minimum Pro child theme and now the page attributes box was there when I added a new page. So I chose the landing page option but it's still not what I had hoped for.

When I check the minimum pro demo theme and check out the landing page template, this is what I see: http://my.studiopress.com/themes/minimum/#demo-full

It's a clean landing page, no header or footer or anything, just a clean page with copy. This is what I want.

But when I ad a new page on my site and choose the landing page template, this is what I get: http://skinnyfat2fit.com/

As you can see I still have the normal look of the minimum pro child theme, with the site title in the header and the grey header banner thing. So what am I forgetting here?

I've created the new page, chose landing page under page attributes, and in general settings - reading - I've checked the "show static page" box.

Why am i not getting the landing page on my front page?

Thanks in advance for helping me out here.

[Peter]

@anitac - Thanks for your reply. There is no "page attributes" box to check anywhere. It's just "Theme SEO Settings", "Layout Settings", "Scripts", "Comments" and "Screen Layout".

I checked the folder you mentioned with FTP, there is a page_landing.php file there, but I don't know if that's what you mean.

[Peter]

@mindyi - Thanks for your reply. No, it's not there, I must be missing something.

[Peter]

Shouldn't that be on the right of the content area underneath the publish box? Because it's not there.

[Peter]

That did the job. Thank you very much.
