Genesis Header Nav

This plugin adds a dedicated header menu location for Genesis Framework child themes. It displays the assigned menu in the header area without the extraneous widget and widget area markup (like <aside>, <section>, and <div> wrappers) that result from using a Custom Menu widget. This produces cleaner HTML, reduces DOM elements, and places navigation code higher in the source order.

• Cleaner output: The menu is rendered as a direct <nav> element inside the header, avoiding extra wrapper markup that can affect performance and SEO.
• Flexible placement: By default, the menu appears after the Header Right widget area. You can reposition it using the genesis_header_nav_priority filter, even before the <header> element for a top bar style.
• Works with any child theme: Compatible with all Genesis child themes. Add CSS to position the menu as needed (e.g., float: right; width: 50%;).
• Easy to customize: Remove the menu on specific pages via remove_action. Change the menu location label using the gettext filter.
• Simple setup: Activate the plugin, then assign a menu to the "Header" location under Appearance > Menus. No widget configuration required.
