Adding Right Widget to Header in Daily Dish

[wickedsimple]

Hi all,

I am using Daily Dish and would like to put the social media icons in the right side of the header. I already removed the following code to get the header widget to be activated:

//* Unregister the header right widget area
unregister_sidebar( 'header-right' );

That worked so that I was able to add the Easy Social Icons widget. So far so good.

I then added the following to my style.css:

.site-header .widget-area {
float: right;
width: 820px;
}

But the widget doesn't appear in the header. Am I doing something wrong?

P.S. The site is in maintenance mode and I can't include the link.

Many thanks!

Donna

Hello, not sure if you've found your answer, but here ya go.

After you remove the "unregister" code as you described above, you need to now "register" the header right widget area with this code in functions.php. There are a bunch of other widget areas being regiestered...i just put it in with them:

//* Register widget areas
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'header-right',
'name' => __( 'Header Right', 'daily-dish' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the header right widget area.', 'daily-dish' ),
) );

Then in my style sheet, I called the widget and code for my specific plugin

.site-header .simple-social-icons {
float: right;
margin-top: 12px;
}

Hope that helps,
Maggie
