Overview
This plugin allows you to assign WordPress navigation menus to the secondary navigation menu within the Genesis Theme Framework on a per post, per page, or per tag/category archive basis. The per post, page, category or tag setting overrides whatever menu setting you have in your Genesis Theme setting. It does require that you have your Secondary Navigation enabled in your Genesis Theme Settings.

It works fantastic
by darkpollo·7 years ago
A clever solution that gives a lot of flexibility to any project.
You can ignore the notification of updates. It works perfect with 4.9.8 WordPress and 2.7.1 genesis.
Doesn’t work with latest WP

Has this been abandoned? It’s being used in some themes and it’s broken. 🙁

This plug-in is a nice addition. I thought I was going to have to write some custom css.
Thank you, Genesis!
Does what it says on the tin :)

Couldn’t be happier! Very easy to use, simply create menus and assign them in the page/post editing screen.
