Hooking primary sidebar to genesis_after_header

[Amber]

I'm attempting to remove the primary sidebar from the content area and hook it to genesis_after_header. I've been able to do this:

remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_sidebar' );

but it removes the <aside class="sidebar sidebar-primary widget-area"> wrapper on it and this makes it near impossible to style the sidebar as a whole now.

Is there a way to have it maintain it's classes so I can style it? Or wrap it in another div?

Also, doesn't remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' ); remove the sidebar and then add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_sidebar' ); place it now where you've stated? My primary sidebar is still below in it's normal spot AND above at genesis_after_header now and I'm not sure why.

Thank you for any help or insight on this as it's been driving me crazy for the last 4 hours..

Those are not the correct hooks, these are:

remove_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );

This is a bad idea. If you want a widget area there, register a new widget area and hook it there. If you want to move the sidebar before content, then it wouldn't go in the genesis_after_header hook it would go in the genesis_before_content hook:

remove_action( 'genesis_after_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content', 'genesis_get_sidebar' );

This is for cases when you want the same layout on desktop but you want your sidebar before the content on smaller viewports.
