Is it possible to change the location of the menu in the Lifestyle them to below the header?
February 9, 2013 at 7:24 pm #19306Per the snippet here:http://my.studiopress.com/snippets/navigation-menus/add this to your functions.php
/** Reposition the primary navigation menu */ remove_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' ); add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );

Great post..I have a similar issue. Using a custom header image my menu is now in the wrong place. I put the code into the functions file for the theme, but now I see it outputs the text for the code! I am new to this. Where exactly does the code snippet need to inserted in the functions.php file. I guess I am missing something here – Thanks in Advance
This is the extract from my php with the code
/** Add support for custom header */
add_theme_support( ‘genesis-custom-header’, array( ‘width’ => 920, ‘height’ => 150 ) );/** Reposition the primary navigation menu */
remove_action( ‘genesis_before_header’, ‘genesis_do_nav’ );
add_action( ‘genesis_after_header’, ‘genesis_do_nav’ );February 11, 2013 at 6:29 am #19580@samw – the php code can go anywhere in your functions.php file after the opening statement, but I usually add new snippets to the bottom of my php file for ease of updating.
Can you please post a link to your site.

Thanks for replying. Im building it as dev using Desktop Server. I wonder if somehow its not reloading the code. I have changed the code position and no difference. Still have menu at top right of page. Its in the theme, functions.php file and im editing with notepad ++. Desktop Server is pretty good, Im open to suggestions
Thanks

I notice that if I only add text as the header the menu is in the correct location. The issue is when I add an image file. I do need to add an image file as a custom header. Do I need an alternate code?
Many Thanks in Advance
February 11, 2013 at 8:27 pm #19745Sam – can you please provide a link to your site?
The code snippet you’ve used to add a custom header is correct; and the snippet for moving the header is correct, so I don’t see why there should be conflict.

I’ve taken up the challenge! – help me answer some of the unanswered postsFebruary 11, 2013 at 8:38 pm #19746Correct me if I’m wrong, – - but isn’t lifestyle’s ‘secondary’ menu automatically below the header??
If I’m right (and I believe I am), – - you would go to dashboard/genesis/theme settings/navigation settings/include secondary menu?
Then, – - go to menus and set up a secondary menu only (and not a primary)
On this site I did just recently, the top menu is my primary, the one under the header is my secondary.
No coding involved, – - all done from the dashboard . . . http://www.chesterfieldremodeler.com
February 11, 2013 at 8:49 pm #19747Tom – you are correct – the secondary menu is below the header.
