    OK I may have a fix or a bad decision. I went into wp-admin/network and commented out line 18 which has a redirect I don’t understand. I can get in now (IF I hardcode the normal URL and do paste-and-go), but what is the intent of this original code? …

    $redirect_network_admin_request = 0 !== strcasecmp( $current_blog->domain, $current_site->domain ) || 0 !== strcasecmp( $current_blog->path, $current_site->path );

    And why is the wrong link still inside My Sites / Network Admin ?

    Two good ideas! Beaver Builder didn’t come up in my plugin search, and I hadn’t heard about ACF, so thanks again.

    The CSS mod worked on the first try. Thank you CrouchingBruin.

    Instead of being exasperated, I remembered the advice I’ve heard about good work practices in coding. Like keep it simple. Here’s a reminder to monitor one’s self and ask: If a relatively simple problem hasn’t been resolved via a particular approach after 6 hours, maybe it’s time to step back and rethink it all.

    RossMitchell I’ll still test the hooks thing so I know how to use it. And if my friend comes up with something interesting, I will post it.

    IE’s support for “:not” is much worse than usual, which is saying something.

    CrouchingBruin, your suggested CSS looks suspiciously simple. I’d hate to think I struggled just for the exercise. When I get home tonight I’ll test it.

    (An old friend who specializes in PHP is looking at what I wrote along those lines. I may end up using that fix somewhere down the road.)

    had to go in functions.php

    No: The codex says no conditional tags in functions.php. My brain is officially fried.

    It didn’t help (yet) that I found a detailed if/elseif at wpexplorer dot com.

    Getting closer / still kinda broken.

    The style register and enqueue had to go in functions.php. Plus, for whatever reason, the css file being loaded had to go up in the Genesis directory instead of the child directory where all the other action is taking place.

    The last remaining problem is getting this PHP “if” statement to tell the difference between the default first page in the site and everything else. I tried it with both || and && between the two names for such a page.

    if ( ! is_home() && is_front_page() ) {
	add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'outreach_load_scripts2' );
	function outreach_load_scripts2() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'nav-all-nonsplash-pgs' );
	}
}

    Long story short I’ve been researching this all afternoon. Best thing to do is create header.php and put it in the theme directory, and use that to check to see if I’m on any page other than the splash, then introduce a CSS snippet. But the code below somehow causes half the head to disappear on every page in the site. First item is header.php …

    <?php
wp_register_style( 'nav-all-nonsplash-pgs', get_stylesheet_directory_uri().'/nav-all-internal-pgs.css','all');

if ( ! is_front_page() ) {
wp_enqueue_style( 'nav-all-nonsplash-pgs' );
}

    and inside nav-all-internal-pgs.css 

    .nav-primary #menu-item-572 {
	display:none;
}
.nav-primary #menu-item-658 {
	display:none;
}

    Hmmm. Half way there. My theme only allows two nav menus at once. So I changed the primary to be the splash page. Then I changed the secondary to reflect what I need on all interior pages. Couldn’t find header.php anywhere in my theme. So I created a new functions.php with the following. But it displays the secondary below the primary on every page including the splash. Ack. Here’s my code …

    function show_menu() {
if ( is_home() || is_front_page() )
	{} // is front-splash page therefore do nothing
	else // is any page on site not the front-splash page
	{
		if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary' ) )
		{ wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary' ) ); }
	} //use secondary menu
}

    (Oh poo. I bet if I read the manual, it’ll say the secondary is intended to display beneath the primary.)

    Now, that looks promising! (Plus I’m discovering that :not will leave IE users out in the cold. Again.) I’ll try this out and report back.

    I just installed the calendar today, but have already dealt with this.

    Go to your admin dashboard, click on Events on the left, then below that Settings, then look in the middle for the Display tab. Go down a bit to “Enable event views” before three checkboxes.

    I unchecked all except Month (AND clicked Save Changes way at the bottom), which forced the main calendar page on the site to default to the month view (my goal). It also got rid of the selector.

    Catacaustic thanks for the response. Sounds like advance planning and taking it step by step will carry the day. I wanted to be sure there wasn’t a huge gap in my logic. Only small gaps.

    Moderator, didn’t intend to create a problem; the vendor has not responded to my question. I’ll handle this on my own. Thanks anyway for your time.

    It’s running locally on my PC via some mini-webserver software. Here’s a link to the vendor’s demo site (I’ve only made a few minor modifications to their default CSS so for). It’s the section below the image slider …
