 * I’m not familiar with primary and secondary menu widgets, are they related to
   a specific theme/plugin?

 * Sorry I meant the Home secondary and top level menu widgets. They are in the 
   genesis framework but I am pretty sure they are in most WP themes

 * The Genesis FrameWork (required to run Genesis themes) is a premium product and
   I don’t have a Genesis FrameWork license, so can’t test anything under a Genesis
   FrameWork environment.
 * Is the issue related to widgets (under “Appearance” > “Widgets”) AND the Display
   Widgets SEO Plugin or is this a Genesis FrameWork issue and you aren’t familiar
   with how the WordPress Support Forums work (I noticed you are new to the WordPress
   Forums)?
 * If it’s a Genesis FrameWork specific issue, the Genesis FrameWork isn’t hosted
   on the WordPress.org website (there’s no Genesis specific Support Forum here).
   Assuming you aren’t running a nulled (free) version of Genesis, you should ask
   at [http://my.studiopress.com/](http://my.studiopress.com/) (need a Genesis license
   to use) or maybe [http://www.studiopress.com/forums/](http://www.studiopress.com/forums/)(
   think that’s free).
 * A quick Google search for: “Genesis primary and secondary menu widgets” gives
   this webpage [https://my.studiopress.com/snippets/navigation-menus/](https://my.studiopress.com/snippets/navigation-menus/)
   which suggests your issue is with Genesis Navigation Menus (under “Appearance”
   > “Menus”) which the Display Widgets SEO Plugin doesn’t deal with.
 * If your WordPress navigation menus are missing go to “Appearance” > “Menus” and
   check the settings.
 * The SEO theme I develop (Stallion Responsive : [http://stallion-theme.co.uk/stallion-responsive-theme/](http://stallion-theme.co.uk/stallion-responsive-theme/))
   includes Primary and Secondary navigation menus (and a couple of others), nothing
   special about them (lots of themes have them). They are a couple of navigation
   menus that are loaded in different parts of the page.
 * If you’ve recently switched Genesis themes either the new theme lacks those navigation
   menus (not all Genesis themes will have them) or you’ll have to set them again
   under “Appearance” > “Menus”. Even switching to a child theme can disable your
   navigation menus, simple case of after each theme/child theme change of going
   under the “Appearance” > “Menus” > “Manage Locations” tab and selecting the relevant
   menu for each Menu Location.
 * There might also be Genesis theme options for disabling the navigation menus,
   Stallion Responsive has this type of option, if a user has gone under the Stallion
   themes “Layout Options” page and selected-
 * Navigation Menu Primary : Navigation Menu OFF
    Navigation Menu Secondary : Secondary
   Navigation Menu OFF
 * The two nav menus won’t load. These types of theme options are good for performance
   SEO reasons, if a feature isn’t used, turn them off completely.
 * The Menu you have selected under “Appearance” > “Menus” can also be added as 
   a widget under “Appearance” > “Widgets” as a “Custom Menu” Widget. Custom Menu
   Widgets are covered by the Display Widgets SEO Plugin, you can set which sections
   of a site they load on.
