How to Remove Mobile Responsiveness from Genesis Child Themes

May 14, 2013 By 10 Comments

With most people choosing mobile responsive themes these days, I was also using it till recently when I decided to mobilize my blog using MobilePress instead. It's cool having a mobile responsive design but then, it was like there's no way users can actually see the full version on mobile phones and tablets and that's one thing I don't really like about responsive designs. Some users actually prefer seeing the desktop version on their mobile device and this is what prompted me to remove the responsive design from the theme. I now use MobilePress which is the default mobile version and when you request to see the desktop version, it's what you actually get. Removing mobile responsiveness … [Read more...]

mobilepress theme

MobilePress got a major update some months ago after two years of being stagnant. This plugin happens to be one of the best and easiest ways to mobilize your Wordpress blog and I used it for quite a while.

Anyway, despite the changes, there were a couple of things that should be added to the theme which I tried to include in this latest … [Read more...]

Reposition Secondary Navigation Menu Above Header in Genesis Child Themes

January 17, 2013 By 23 Comments
genesis

In some cases, Genesis child themes often come with both primary and secondary navigation menu positioned right under the header. Themes such as Eleven40, Streamline and a few others have the primary and secondary navigation placed on top of each other and this doesn't look too tight. Of course, you can use just the primary menu and then add the other links as HTML to 'header right' widget but in my own case, I prefer to have ads in that position and had to reposition my secondary menu to the very top just above the header. However, it's not only the secondary menu you can reposition, you can do the same for your primary menu. Must Read: Change Default Search Engine to Google in Genesis … [Read more...]

November 22, 2012 By 20 Comments
genesis

It's easy to simply add your Google adsense for search code as a widget in your sidebar but when you want to place this search bar in certain positions, you may consider changing Wordpress default search engine to Google. I redesigned this blog in the last few days, worked on the CSS, re-arranged the widgets and added some little tweaks here and there. I decided to place Google Adsense for search right there on the primary menu, floating to the right. It required a lot of coding I had no idea how to do and found Bill Erickson's post on adding content to Genesis navigation. For some strange reasons, the code didn't work for me when I tried adding Google custom search in that position. Must … [Read more...]
