Full Width Text Widget in Minimum Pro Theme

[asbilly92]

How would I go about adding a full SCREEN widget area to the Minimum Pro theme before the 4 Featured Home page widgets?

Ok I think I kinda got it lol, but look at where I added the text widget, all the text is now coming out as a link....hummm. Getting closer I guess. Check it out: http://amystout.com/wordpress1/

I only see a blank screen after clicking your link.

Opps I'm sorry there is a 'blank' Coming Soon Plugin that was activated last night...SORRY LOL!

Yep kinda odd my full width text widget that I added is getting like 'auto-wrapped' in anchor tags, so that all of the text is acting as a link...It's also doing that in the site tag line are with any text widgets I add in there.

I guess these areas might have been developed to contain only links and I might want to add links in these text widget areas but I don't want ALL of the text in these widgets to be formatted like links.... does that make sense?

Thank you 😉

I fixed this! Another Studiopress forum gal caught that I hadn't closed my link above the widget area correctly and it was throwing the whole page of below...

THANK YOU!

Hi,
I'm using the Minimum Pro theme and would like to define a new, full-width widget area just under the tagline.
I've followed the instructions to register the widget, which works. I can now see the new widget area from the admin section:

//* Register after post widget area
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'            => 'after-tagline',
	'name'          => __( 'After Tagline', 'minimum' ),
	'description'   => __( 'This is a widget area that can be placed after the tagline', 'minimum' ),
) );

Then I added the following hook to the front-page.php provided with minimum Pro.

//* Hook after post widget area after post content
		genesis_widget_area( 'after-tagline', array( 'before' => '<div class="after-tagline widget-area">', 'after' => '</div>', ) );

When I tested the widget, (adding some lorem ipsum text), I see no effect on the front end: Nothing is written below the tagline.
What am I doing wrong? Link to my site: http://zanspace.com

thanks!
