Hi Mike.

The only problem I can see is the usual one - any changes to the Genesis Theme on update will over-write the changes you've made.

One thing you could do is download the Genesis "Sample" child theme, strip everything you don't need out and customise from there (or create your own, either way).

I've used the above method myself as a quick way of ensuring that all my modifications are saved.

Another thing you can do (which I've also tried) is use the Genesis Extender plugin by CobaltApps, as this has a custom CSS area where you can enter your own code which won't be over-written (On top of all the other awesomeness the plugin can do).

That's my 2 cents worth. Good luck 🙂

Without using a child theme you are limited to what you can customise directly in the code, as any updates to the Genesis theme will over-write changes you make.

However you can try something along the lines of:

//* Customize Genesis Footer
function your_footer() {
  if( !is_page(''home") ) {
		remove_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'genesis_footer_widget_areas' );
	}
}

You would need to make sure you are removing the action from the right hook, but this is another place to start.
If you think that customisations like this will be something you do more frequently, you could look into using something like the Genesis Extender plugin by Cobalt Apps.

Good luck

After some investigation I've discovered I'm asking the wrong question - going to close this one off and create a new topic asking the right thing. Sorry for spam

Ok, so.
Using the WP database we've created some different tables - turns out I don't need to access a different database, just those tables.

I'm assuming I use $wpdb and just rename stuff to get the right info?

Hmmm this is a good one.

Check out the following link for a possible fix.
http://wpfab.com/clean-up-weird-characters-in-your-wordpress-posts/

I don't think it's the same root cause that you are experiencing as I checked your encoding and it's displaying as UTF-8, but give it a go and see if it works.

Another possible solution comes from here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/black-diamonds-with-question-marks-in-my-restore

Try going into the WP "reading" settings and change to iso-8859-1

I'll keep looking for a solution, but it is indeed very strange.

Good luck.

No worries 🙂 Glad it did the trick.

Hi Tom.

Oops, I should have closed this one off as resolved.

It was a mix of php and javascript scorcery. For anyone else's future reference I've posted my solution below (I've tried to comment it as much as possible):

//* Add support for hide news widgets if no posts
add_action( 'genesis_before', 'ybs_empty_category' );
function ybs_empty_category() {
//* Declare variables for each category you want to check
$charter=get_posts('category_name=charter-news');
$fares=get_posts('category_name=fares-and-tickets');
$school_transport_news=get_posts('category_name=school-transport-news');

//* Make sure you're on the right page, then check if the category for that page has posts
if (is_page( 'charter' ) && $charter->post_count == 0) {
//* Use PHP to echo out javascript - See, SCORCERY!!!!
echo "
<script type=\"text/javascript\">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
document.getElementById('news_charter').style.display = 'none';
});
</script>";
}
}

Hi Cory.

A couple of questions:
Can you please provide a link to the page where this is happening?
Is this issue on one browser or all?
Is this in the post/page once it is published, or is it just in the editor?

Thanks.

Just a question from a usability standpoint - I noticed that upon resizing the browser window your navigation menu changes - basically the items reverse order.

Has this been done for a reason? Or is this just until the "list-item to the left" issue has been resolved?

I used Lauren's method to fix the same issue on my site - however one thing to remember is that you will also need to go and make these changes within your media queries as the pixel width may be different.

+1 to Lauren's answer (if there was a voting method I'd do that 😛 ).

Hi jnine0712 (Janine?)

Having a look at your site I've noticed a couple of things (first one is off topic but might help with other issues you may have):
Your #header max-width value is set to 1152 - you need to change this to 1152px;
In your media queries - try playing with the height of the #header div. I changed it to height: auto; and it looks like this worked - but make the changes and see what that does. More changes may be required.

Let me know how you go, and good luck 🙂

Thanks for looking into this for me Marcy.

I've cross checked everything in all browsers and all alignment issues seem to be fixed. Is this the case on your browser?

Hi Marcy.

Can you please advise what resolution you are running when you see this? I've made an adjustment which should have fixed the issue in all browsers (I hope). Strange that you see it on 2 lines in Chrome also, this has never been the case when I've tested it.

I'm having the same (ish) issue on http://www.youngsbusservice.com.au.preview.cp-server.com/

In Chrome (and Safari and Opera) it looks fine, exactly how I want it - however in Firefox and IE (IE I can understand, but Firefox???) it's incorrect. The last li drops to the second line, which I don't want. I can't see how to fix this, as I've played with the padding - but to no avail. Inspecting on firebug doesn't really help either.

I'm modifying the heck out of the Sample theme - which includes a normalize.css at the top to avoid issues such as this, so I'm out of ideas.

This one is really bugging me (I'd expect issues in Safari and Opera more than I would in Firefox), any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi windy and Susan.

I'm having a similar issue where I'm wanting to align the submenu of my last li to the right, so it doesn't stick out over the right side of the main body (well, at least I think this is a similar issue to what windy is describing).

I've looked at different ways of modifying the css to fix this, but can't seem to find the right selectors to modify to get this effect.

The effect I'm after can be seen working here:
http://sevenspark.com/docs/ubermenu-align-items-right (the "Support" menu item under the search and social buttons)

From looking at the CSS it looks like this is achieved by:
ul.menu #menu-item-31 > ul.sub-menu {
left: auto; right: 0;
}

I can't find the equivalent styles in the Genesis css (modifying the hell out of the Sample child-theme) to make these changes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
