How to change or remove word “Menu” in Genesis Sample theme

If you just started using Genesis framework based WordPress themes like Genesis Sample theme you probably noticed that it has word “Menu” added to the “hamburger” mobile menu. It may be useful for some of you. But in some cases you want to change it or remove it completely. And that’s tricky because you won’t find it mentioned anywhere in the theme – it’s built-in to the famework itself.

No worries though – there’s simple way to change or remove that “Menu” word. It’s just a bit different that you’re probably used to.

How to remove or change word Menu in Genesis Sample theme

To change or remove word “Menu” from Genesis framwork based themes you need to open Appearance >> Theme File Editor in WordPress admin menu.

Then click config >> responsive-menus.php to open responsive menus config file.

'mainMenu' => __( 'Menu', 'genesis-sample' ),

'mainMenu' => __( '', 'genesis-sample' ),
