How to add place for wide google ad in Lifestyle theme?

[srousseu]

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your help.

I have the Lifestyle theme and want to add a space for a 728 x 90 Google ad on all my pages just above the footer area. I've been told that I can use genesis simple hooks to add a widget area for this, but I don't know under which section in simple hooks I should add the code and I don't know what the code should be! Any help is much appreciated.

Hi, put this code in your functions.php of your child theme.

//* Add the sub footer section
add_action( 'genesis_before_footer', 'jan_sub_footer', 5 );
function jan_sub_footer() {

	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sub-footer' ) ) {
		echo '<div class="sub-footer"><div class="wrap">';
		
		   genesis_widget_area( 'sub-footer', array(
		       'before' => '<div class="sub-footer">',
		       'after'  => '</div>',
		   ) );
	
		echo '</div><!-- end .wrap --></div><!-- end .sub-footer -->';	
	}
	
}

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'sub-footer',
	'name'        => __( 'Sub Footer', 'jan' ),
	'description' => __( 'This is the left section of the sub footer.', 'jan' ),
) );

This put a widget area above your footer. You can see the Sub Footer widget if everything goes as plan.

Style it as you wish.

.sub-footer {
	background-color: #3CB4B4;
	padding: 40px 0 30px;
	clear: both;
	overflow: auto;
}

.sub-footer .widget {
	clear: both;
	overflow: auto;
	margin: 0 0 20px 0;
}

.sub-footer .widget-title {
	color: #2E8986;
	font-size: 26px;
	text-transform: none;
}

Hope this wil work for you

Hi, my name is Jan Hoek. Sure, they all say I have a big head, but I like to think it’s way too small for all my ideas.
