Hello Bar Installation Child Theme –

[jaehouse]

Hey all!

So I downloaded the hellobar-solo for my genesis child theme and have the script in both header and footer via Genesis Theme Settings. Should I be inserting something in functions.php? The bar isn't showing up!

You could try installing the Genesis Simple Hooks plugin and adding it to one of the hook locations in Genesis.

Hi jaehouse...

I've been wrestling with the same problem for awhile.

Here is what i did to FINALLY get it working...

Add this to functions.php

//add hello bar scripts
function hellobar_scripts() {
wp_register_script( 'hellobar_solo_js', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'). '/hellobar-solo/hellobar.js');
wp_enqueue_script( 'hellobar_solo_js' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hellobar_scripts');
function hellobar_styles() {
wp_register_style('hellobar_css', get_bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'). '/hellobar-solo/hellobar.css');
wp_enqueue_style( 'hellobar_css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'hellobar_styles');

Then in the admin i went to Genesis/Theme Settings and scrolled down to Header and Footer scripts...

In wp_footer() i added...

// <![CDATA[
new HelloBar( 'Your text here ', {
showWait: 1000,
barColor: 'rgb(114, 233, 109)',
positioning: 'carbon',
texture:'light-gradient',
fonts: 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif',
forgetful: true,
helloBarLogo: false }, 1.0 );
// ]]>

The wp_footer section is incorrect above, because the script tags got stipped out.

You can use the examples on the hello bar website for the wp_footer() section...

I hope that helps you out.
