All you need to do is copy and paste the PHP code at the end of your child themes functions file and the CSS to the end of your child themes style.css file.

Here’s how the new nav menu looks in the Executive Pro child theme by StudioPress:

  1. Hi Brad,
    Sorry about the delayed response. If I edit out your code on my functions.php file then the top menu works fine. It opens and closes correctly as it should. I only get the conflict when I add your code so that I can have a bottom footer nav on the mobile site giving the user the ability to open the nav at the bottom of the page, rather than having to scroll, or swipe their way back to the top.
    ** Note I have set the ‘depth’ => 1, to be 7 as I want the bottom nav to show submenus on it , but I have tried it both ways ( using the number 1, or the number 7 and get the same results.

    When the above code is added to the parallax theme it causes the mobile menu in that theme to work incorrectly.

  2. Hi Brad,
    I am assuming you are saying to replace the previous section:

    add_action( ‘genesis_footer’, ‘footer_menu’, 7 );
    function footer_menu() {
    printf( ”, genesis_attr( ‘nav-footer’ ) );
    wp_nav_menu( array(
    ‘theme_location’ => ‘footer’,
    ‘container’ => false,
    ‘depth’ => 1,
    ‘fallback_cb’ => false,
    ‘menu_class’ => ‘genesis-nav-menu’,
    ) );

    with what you posted as new.
    added it to my functions.php – cleared the cache – same results . Some kind of conflict going on that causes the top menu to open and close immediately.
    No change with the new code.

        • Hi Brad,
          I am still having problems with this code having a conflict. this is what I have tried.

          I have removed your code completely and the default responsive menu ( header right ) works perfectly when the code you are supplying is removed.

          When it is not removed the header right navigation opens and closes immediately so you are not able to select a sub menu.

          I tried to deactivate all of the plugins by adding “*1” to the plugin to see if a plugin might be the source of the conflict but the results are the same. When I add the responsive footer code to the functions.php file and the default responsive code is there a conflict occurs.

          Finally I tried replacing the default responsive menu for the Parallax theme with the information from the this tutorial:
          http://wpsites.net/web-design/add-the-latest-genesis-responsive-menu-to-your-theme/

          Interestingly when I did this and the responsive footer menu code was still written into the functions.php file the new header right responsive menu worked correctly but the responsive footer menu navigation then had the conflict – the same type as the header right was having- ie: the footer nav opens and closes to fast to select a sub-menu item.

          I would think that this might be an indication that the conflict might be css based as both the responsive footer nav, and the header right ( responsive menu ) both look to be using a lot of the same css. , and the conflict occurs even when using both of your codes together, not the default genesis responsive, and the wpsites footer responsive.

          Any help is greatly appreciated in solving this- driving me crazy.
          I can send login info to the site if you need it

          thanks

          • Hi Scott. Currently on holidays however i will try and have a look over the coming weekend.

  3. I added this code to the Genesis(2.3.1) using the Parallax theme (1.2.2) with the latest version of WordPress ( 4.5.3) and am getting a conflict.
    ( I posted to the support form several days ago but have not heard a response so I am reposting the issue here.

    When I add this code the footer menu works fine on the mobile as it should but adding it now causes my primary menu ( header right ) to open and close immediately, so that the sub menu items are seen but cannot be clicked on.

    Here is my URL to see the site:

    Any thoughts on why this might be happening are greatly appreciated.

    I will post to the support form again with the issue with hopes that it is working.
    fyi- I am getting a message that tells me the message has been sent to support but just not hearing back, I have had this issue before with other posts so not sure if that support form is working correctly

    • Try this:

      add_action( 'genesis_footer', 'genesis_footer_menu', 7 );
function genesis_footer_menu() {

	genesis_nav_menu( array(
		'theme_location' => 'footer',
		'container'      => false,
		'depth'          => 1,
		'fallback_cb'    => false,
		'menu_class'     => 'genesis-nav-menu',	
	) );

}
