Add Widget Area Above Header Area

[lenniejarratt]

I would like to add a widget area above the header to put a text widget into. I am using the streamline pro theme.

Thanks. That worked.

Hi Brad... I tried the link you posted and pasted the "for genesis users" in my functions.php file. Not sure why, but it didn't work for me. There's not even a new widget listed in the widgets area of my dashboard. I'm on the latest version of Streamline (html 5) Does that matter? I know the hooks changed awhile ago... But from all the tutorials I find, none of them seem to be working for me. At best I get a new widget in the widgets area, but not above the header. I just installed Streamline today. So, I haven't really messed with it yet. The old version (a year or 2 ago) of Streamline had a "right header" widget that actually placed the icons in the header, which was cool. But I don't see that in the newest version. Thanks a lot!

Hi @kilerb

Sorry to hear that. I test all code before publishing and retested on the Sample theme just now.

But

I know there's at least 20 reasons code won't work even when its been tested.
