Enterprise Theme – how do I add a full width widget area above home1,2,3?

[Besearched]

I have been struggling with adding a widget area above the home-middle section. It is there... and shows up....above the header 🙁 . I just can't figure out what I am missing to get it to the right place.

Here is my home.php :
<?php

/**

* This file handles the output on the homepage.

*/

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'enterprise_home_top_helper' );

/**

* Conditionally add Home Top #1 (home-top-1) sidebar and WP-Cycle.

*/

function enterprise_home_top_helper() {

echo '<div id="home-top-bg"><div id="home-top"><div class ="wrap">';

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-top-1' ) ) {

echo '<div class="home-top-1">';

dynamic_sidebar( 'home-top-1' );

echo '</div><!-- end .home-top-1 -->';

}

echo '<div class="home-top-2">';

if ( function_exists( 'soliloquy_slider' ) ) soliloquy_slider( '52' );

echo '</div><!-- end .home-top-2 -->';

echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end #home-top --></div><!-- end #home-top-bg -->';

}

echo '<div id="home-center">';

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-center' ) ) {

echo '<div class="home-center">';

dynamic_sidebar( 'home-center' );

echo '</div><!-- end .home-center -->';

}

echo '</div><!-- end #home-center -->';

add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'enterprise_home_genesis_meta' );

/**

* Add widget support for homepage. If no widgets active, display the default loop.

*

*/

function enterprise_home_genesis_meta() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-3' ) ) {

remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );

add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'enterprise_home_loop_helper' );

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

}

}

function enterprise_home_loop_helper() {

echo '<div id="home-middle">';

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-1' ) ) {

echo '<div class="home-middle-1">';

dynamic_sidebar( 'home-middle-1' );

echo '</div><!-- end .home-middle-1 -->';

}

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-2' ) ) {

echo '<div class="home-middle-2">';

dynamic_sidebar( 'home-middle-2' );

echo '</div><!-- end .home-middle-2 -->';

}

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-middle-3' ) ) {

echo '<div class="home-middle-3">';

dynamic_sidebar( 'home-middle-3' );

echo '</div><!-- end .home-middle-3 -->';

}

echo '</div><!-- end #home-middle -->';

}

genesis();

And here is my CSS for my widget area (home-center)
/* Home Center
------------------------------------------------------------ */

#home-center {
background: url(images/quotebackground.png);
height: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 5px 0 5px 0;
width: 960px;
}

.home-center {
float: left;
padding: 5px;
width: 960px;

}

I know I'm not missing it by much...and any help would be awesome. Here is the site link:

Hi

What's the widget for?

Do you want it to display site wide or only on specific pages?

Which hook position?

This is the code you would use and modify:

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++

You may need to change or remove the conditional tag and hook position

Try changing genesis_loop to genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap

Have you also considered updating your theme?
