beoleary1, Great! Glad I could help.
Also, if you want to change the background color of your pages, find the <div> that encompasses the page (could be "div#content", which it is in the Magazine theme) and change the background color:
div#content
{background-color: #aaa; //just an example
background-image: url(/images/background-image.jpg); /* Use the actual path to your background image and the real image name, of course */
}If there is a background image already, and you just want a color, you may need to say:
div#content
{background: none; // that gets rid of the existing background image.
/* You could also substitute your own background image for the existing one and NOT say background:none; */
background-color: #aaa;
}Hope that helps!
echofoxtrotMemberTo hide the page title, I usually do this:
h1.entry-title (or whatever the page title heading is)
{font-size: 0.1%;
margin: 0 0 0 -9999px;
}You need to shrink the font down to almost nothing, because otherwise you'll have a space across the area where the title used to be that is as high as the font-size of the title.
echofoxtrotMemberI don't know why it is doing that, but give this a try: make sure you have the latest version; delete it from where it is now (header?) and add it to some other widget area. Did you upgrade to Genesis 2.0?
Hope this helps.
echofoxtrotMemberBill,
I keep my Genesis framework up to date, and afaik am using only the latest child themes. I therefore wouldn't anticipate a problem. Now, suppose a child theme is upgraded - the upgrade would overwrite my custom css and php, if any. (This would be for anything other than Prose.)Therefore, prior to upgrading, I have to copy and save that custom css (added to the bottom of the child theme's style.css file) and any php I had added to the child theme's function.php file, and then add it back to the upgraded child themes style and function files.
Is that correct?
echofoxtrotMemberBill, excellent advice and totally makes sense, now that you explain it that way. Now, might that mean that there's a potential problem when upgrading Genesis child themes?
echofoxtrotMemberBill, good to know. Thanks!
echofoxtrotMemberI found this on the WordPress forum - it's 2 years old, but give it a shot. If you have this line in your functions.php file, comment it out (don't delete it.)
add_action('init', 'cp_admin_init');

echofoxtrotMemberNo problem. Glad I could help! You may want to change this post to Resolved.
echofoxtrotMemberIf you mean the content part of your blog posts and pages, go to Genesis/Custom Code and add this to the CSS part of the custom code:
.entry-content
{background-color: #yourcolorhexvalue;
}If you are using Firefox or Chrome, you should install Firebug (add-on for the browser) and use that to see the styles that apply to the various divs, paragraphs and so on. You can change those styles non-destructively in Firebug and your changes will appear, but do not affect the actual website.
Hope this helps!
echofoxtrotMemberDo you have white space at the top of your functions.php file? Try removing that if you do. Also, this could be a plugin problem since there is a reference to plugin.php. Try disabling all the plugins and then reactivating them. If you have recently added a plugin you could start with just deactivating that one first.

June 2, 2013 at 8:51 pm in reply to: Change background color of drop down menu? – Magazine Theme #43749echofoxtrotMemberThanks, sangfroidweb! Let me give that a shot.
echofoxtrotMemberI am having the same problem with Prose 1.5.2 under Genesis 1.9.2. Did you find an answer?
echofoxtrotMemberNo worries! Good luck with the site!
echofoxtrotMemberHi, Mike. Take a look at the style.css file in the Magazine theme folder. Check around line 1241 - that is where the sidebar styles begin, and you are correct, the primary sidebar is 300px wide:
.sidebar {
display: inline;
float: right;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 20px;
width: 300px;
}There is a lot of styling for the sidebars including stuff in the Media Queries section.
Hope this helps!
echofoxtrotMemberWell, you can use both. You can use Simple Edits to change your copyright in the footer, and use Simple Hooks to do whatever else you have in mind.
echofoxtrotMemberOk, I think I have an answer. This is working for me. Frankly, it seems a little kludgy, but here you are - I would love to hear your comments and/or ways to improve this. The idea is to use an actual img instead of a background image in the header in order to make it shrink as needed when the screen size is reduced.
First, I added this code to the Magazine theme functions.php file to make the header the size I wanted, the same size as my header image. Of course, you would use the height and width of your own image.
add_theme_support( 'genesis-custom-header', array(
'width' => 400,
'height' => 95
) );Then, I added this to the functions.php file:
add_action ('genesis_header', 'insert_header_image');
function insert_header_image() {
echo '<img src="/wp-content/themes/magazine/images/my-logo-name.png" />'; // This is the path to my header image. Yours may differ.
}Then, I changed the height of the title area in the style.css file to make the title area sort of disappear:
.header-full-width #title-area
{height:1px;
}If I had not done that, I would have an extra 115 pixels of empty space on top of my header image.
The above code puts an actual img into the header space instead of having a background image as the header.
echofoxtrotMemberHmm. I noticed, though, that when I uploaded an image of my own for the header, that code doesn't make the header 'responsive.' It works when you use the default background and just change the text, however.
Working on this!
March 1, 2013 at 3:44 pm in reply to: All of a sudden Drop down menus not displaying in Magazine Child Theme? #23582echofoxtrotMemberI just looked at your site, in the lower left corner - looks ok to me. Did you get an answer?
echofoxtrotMemberI just checked and I believe that all you have to do is drag the Search Widget into the Header Right widget area.
