Move Genesis Nav Menu Before or After Header

Moving navigation menu’s in Genesis is easy.

By default, Genesis includes 2 menu’s.

A primary and a secondary menu.

To move either of these nav menu’s before or after your header area, simply place this php code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

Go to Appearance > Editor > functions.php

Primary Menu

To move your primary menu above your header, paste this code into your child themes  functions file.

/** Move Primary Nav Menu Above Header */

remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );

Secondary Menu

To move your secondary menu above your header, paste this code into your child themes functions file.

/** Move Secondary Nav Menu Above Header */

remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );

    • Its in the header by default as you can see in the functions file:

      //* Reposition the secondary navigation menu
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_subnav' );
add_action( 'genesis_header', 'genesis_do_subnav', 5 );

      You can change the hook in the default code from genesis_header to genesis_after_header however you will nee d to modify the CSS as well which is not something i have worked out or written about at this stage.

  2. I know the snippet and how Genesis operates, but I’m having a heck of a time accomplishing this effect in the Parallax Pro child theme.

    I also have a custom functions … I can get the primary nav before the header, but then it pushes the header down to where the sidebar is.

  5. Nice tips. Lucky that I found this site, I’m trying to change the position of the primary navigation on my genesis framework.

    Yeah, I’m a newbie in coding. Thanks Brad..
