Hi there

If you only want it on the homepage try

.home #content {
background: none;
}

I tried it using Chrome developer tools and it works.

Hi

You can get full posts and a sidebar on subsequent pages, but that theme is kinda set up to be like that on the front page for a reason.

If you really want to change it, take a look in front-page.php, where it has

if ( is_home() ) {

		//* Remove entry meta in entry footer and Genesis loop
		remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
		
		//* Add Genesis grid loop
		add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'minimum_grid_loop_helper' );
		
		//* Remove entry footer functions
		remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_open', 5 );
		remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_post_meta' );
		remove_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'genesis_entry_footer_markup_close', 15 );
		
		//* Force full width content layout
		add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

	}

You can see the first part removes the usual loop and replaces it with the grid loop.
The last line of the conditional 'add_filter' forces the layout to be full-width.

So, you could remove/comment-out those entries and see what that does for you.

I haven't tested it out but that should be fine. Let us know?

Hi

Two tips first:
1) I'd always recommend creating yourself a development copy of your site to make changes to rather than putting them into live, and then copy over the theme files once they are correct to your live server website.

2) rather than edit the main style.css you could create yourself a custom.css and enqueue the style sheet so that it loads after the main one. e.g.

/** Enqueue Genesis child theme style sheet at higher priority **/
remove_action( 'genesis_meta', 'genesis_load_stylesheet' );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'genesis_enqueue_main_stylesheet', 15 );

// Queue the custom style sheet
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'thd_custom_stylesheet', 16 );
function thd_custom_stylesheet() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'custom-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/custom.css' );
}

That way you can override styles without changing the main sheet and forgetting what you've done!

To answer your actual question, you can edit the menu font size in

.genesis-nav-menu {

}

It's current set to be 0.8125rem. Line number 1987 of the main style.css stylesheet

Yes, in functions.php you will see a bunch of enqueue statements starting with

//* Enqueue Backstretch script and prepare images for loading
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'metro_enqueue_scripts' );
function metro_enqueue_scripts() {

just comment out the add_action() statement.
Without taking a further look at it, I'm not sure whether you would need to do anything else to get the default background settings working. Try it?!

Hi, its not a caching issue.
The background in Metro Pro uses 'Backstretch' to create a responsive fill the screen background.

See the setup instructions
http://my.studiopress.com/setup/metro-theme/
Point 5
"The Display Options settings for Position, Repeat, and Attachment are not important for this theme. These settings will be ignored."

If you don't want this, you'll have to disengage the backstretch stuff, and make sure that 'normal' background setting is working.

The styles that address specific mobile sizes you will find within the media queries at the bottom of the style sheet, however making a site 'responsive' usually involves the complete style sheet e.g. making use of width: 100% or using % rather than fixed widths.

But don't worry - If you create a test site on your server, or on your local machine using something like Serverpress or MAMP you can monkey around all you like!

Firstly, have you made a backup of your website: source code, wp-content and database? You should always do this before starting an upgrade.

If you run it again, what happens?

It seems to have taken a very long time, suggesting a lag on your connection or from WP servers. It can happen occasionally.

You are using Roboto which comes in several weights: 100, 300, 400,700

You could include the additional thickness/weights you want in the declaration which is made in functions.php

and then specifiy that weight for .genesis-nav-menu class.

Hi,
Which images don't show up? The two I saw on those pages shrink ok.

You can either
1) create relevant sized header images and then edit the style sheet for the relevant media queries
or
2) I see Nick the Geek has a genesis responsive header plugin (I havent used it myself)
