After single post widget

[brankica]

I was following this tutorial http://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/add-genesis-box/ so I can add a box on single posts after content.

The code isn't working for some reason.

I have a widget I added that displays on single posts as a featured box under header and I notice a few differences but considering I don't know PHP I am not sure what I am missing.

So the code that worked for my featured box below header is

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id' => 'featured-box',
    'name' => __( 'Featured Box', 'fcc' ),
    'description' => __( 'This is the featured box.', 'fcc' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_featured_box' );
function genesis_featured_box() {
if ( is_single() && is_active_sidebar( 'featured-box' ) ) {
    echo '<div class="featured-box">';
    dynamic_sidebar( 'featured-box' );
    echo '</div><!-- end .featured-box -->';
}
}

The tutorial is showing

//* Register Genesis box widget area
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'            => 'genesis-box',
	'name'          => __( 'Genesis Box', 'themename' ),
	'description'   => __( 'This is a widget area that can be placed after the post', 'themename' ),
) );

//* Hook Genesis box widget area after post content
add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'sp_genesis_box', 9 );
	function sp_genesis_box() {
	if ( is_singular( 'post' ) )
		genesis_widget_area( 'after-post', array(
			'before' => '<div class="genesis-box widget-area">',
			'after' => '</div>',
	) );
}

The things I see are different are for example in first code there is "IS SINGLE" while in the second "IS SINGULAR". I definitely don't know enough about PHP to figure this one out so if any one can help me figure out how to add a content box after main post content (above author box) I would really appreciate it.

I do have the hooks plugin if that helps but I don't know how to use this after post box and limit it to single post only.

Thanks

The code uses the old hooks which is why it ay not work if your child theme is running HTML 5.

Try this:

//* Register Genesis box widget area
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'            => 'genesis-box',
	'name'          => __( 'Genesis Box', 'themename' ),
	'description'   => __( 'This is a widget area that can be placed after the post', 'themename' ),
) );

//* Hook Genesis box widget area after post content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'sp_genesis_box', 9 );
	function sp_genesis_box() {
	if ( is_single( ) )
		genesis_widget_area( 'after-post', array(
			'before' => '<div class="genesis-box widget-area">',
			'after' => '</div>',
	) );
}

Will only work on HTML 5 themes.

Change the 9 if needed for positioning priority http://wpsites.net/web-design/3rd-parameter-action-hooks/

If you're running XHTML, change:

genesis_entry_footer

To this:

genesis_after_post_content

This doesn't work for me either. On new Lifestyle theme:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'            => 'genesis-box',
    'name'          => __( 'Genesis Box', 'lifestyle' ),
    'description'   => __( 'This is a widget area that can be placed after the post', 'lifestyle' ),
) );

//* Hook Genesis box widget area after post content
add_action( 'genesis_entry_footer', 'sp_genesis_box', 9 );
    function sp_genesis_box() {
    if ( is_single( ) )
        genesis_widget_area( 'after-post', array(
            'before' => '<div class="genesis-box widget-area">',
            'after' => '</div>',
    ) );
}

Regular post page doesn't display the genesis box. Using HTML5

Sorry, typo, my bad:

Tested and works

Please copy the code from the view raw link and paste it at the end of your child themes functions.php file using a text editor like Notepad++

Yep, the error was the line
genesis_widget_area( 'after-post', array(

Needed to be
genesis_widget_area( 'genesis-box', array(

Thanks Brad. Genesis support showed me the error and I appreciate both you and StudioPress support very much!
