Education Pro – Primary Navigation Area

[baazil1]

I don't want to use the Primary Navigation Area for Navigation. I'd like to use it for a Tag Line or something of that sort. Is there a way to "activate" that specific area to use for a text widget or social icons or something of that sort?

The only way I can get it to show up is to activate a menu with the Primary Navigation Menu.

Thanks!

To activate the area above the header where the primary navigation area is, you would have to register a widget area for it. You can try first registering the widget area itself:

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'tagline',
	'name'        => __( 'Tagline', 'education' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the tagline area above the header.', 'education' ),
) );

Then hook it in above the header:

function education_tagline_widget() {
	genesis_widget_area( 'tagline', array(
		'before' => '<div class="tagline widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );
}
add_action('genesis_before_header', 'education_tagline_widget');

You would then have to style it in your style.css file to make it look nice, but that's how you can accomplish it.

Hope that helps. The code worked for me on a demo site that I spun up.

It looks like you got it to work - did you do it the way that was suggested below your question or some other way? I want to do the same thing.

I went with this: Create a Utility Bar Above the Header in Genesis.

It basically the same thing with a bit extra code. Worked well.
