Hi Jen

Already using that plugin. Deactivated all other plugins to rule out any potential conflicts. I’m going to dig into the Genesis core to see if I can figure out what is what.

Doh! The problem exists in all of my child themes as well. Guess I’m pushing out updates. I like your solution better John. I’m going to go with that.

Awesome John! Just confirmed the problem with Outreach and verified your solution.

Hi karentiede,

You can try the Genesis Simple Menus plugin. It does what I think you want.

You’re most welcome!

ps: I already had a look at your other thread but that one has me stumped.

I’m looking at a fresh copy of that theme right now. I see in functions.php it is forcing a content-sidebar layout for the home page. Open up Freelance’s functions.php file and comment out this bit …

// Force layout on homepage
add_filter('genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', 'freelance_home_layout');
function freelance_home_layout($opt) {
if ( is_home() )
$opt = 'content-sidebar';
return $opt;
}

Well for one thing, the Freelance theme comes with a custom widgetized home page (which I forgot about). But there seems to be some kind of error in the home.php file. Try renaming Freelance’s home.php file to something else, like home5.php or whatever.

Sure. I’m hanging around the forum, nothing better to do.

For the navigation to work the front page needs to be set to display “Your latest posts”.

Hi cyberinfinity,

It sounds like you have set a static page for the home page, probably the blog page.

Nice work Seth! I like the first one simply because I’m a HUGE fan of the “minimalist” look – crisp and clean. I like the second one because of its uniqueness.

Hi saffron avenue,

The easiest way would probably be to use the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin. Additionally, have a look at these pages:

1. Post Info
2. Post Meta
3. Shortcode Reference
4. Hook Reference

With the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin you can easily unhook various functions from hooks and either execute shortcodes or PHP on them. Give the plugin a go. If you need further help come on back.

Hi jwilson,

Are you using widgets on the home page or just a standard blog format?

Hi prajwaldesai

It looks like you’re using the Content Limit (as opposed to excerpts) to display content. If you view source, you’ll see a line of text, part of which reads …

class="more-link">[Read more...]

Now we know what CSS selector to target – it is the a.more-link

All you need to do is add the following to the style.css file …

a.more-link {
your styling rules
}

For instance …

a.more-link {
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
background-color: #e96a2a;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #fff !important;
float: right;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 8px 12px 6px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
}

This will give you a button that has a slightly rounded border (3px), a background colour (#e96a2a), a font colour (#fff), it floats right, has a font size of 13px with a normal weight, a padding of 8px-top, 12px-sides and 6px-bottom, the text is centered and there is no text decoration.

a.more-link:hover {
background-color: #444;
text-decoration: none;
}

When you hover over the button the background colour will change to #444 (dark grey) and no text-decoration.

Use your imagination and style it however you want.

To get rid of the brackets add the following to your theme’s functions.php file …

/** Modify the Genesis content limit read more link */
add_filter( 'get_the_content_more_link', 'corporate_read_more_link' );
function corporate_read_more_link() {
return '... <a class="more-link" href="' . get_permalink() . '">Read More ...';
}

This will give you Read More followed by 3 dots. Insert whatever you want there.

Always make a backup of your files before editing them so you can revert if you make a mistake.
