How to reorder above header in Genesis Foodie Pro

[styleandcheer]

Hi there,

I'm new to all this, but am dipping my toes into code snippets and have a question about how to re-order items above header.

I am working in Foodie Pro theme which has a widget area above header for "featured posts" which I activated.

I also added a code snippet in PHP to move the navigation bar above header. It worked great.

Right now, I show "featured posts" widget, then navigation bar, then header. However, I want to show navigation bar, then "featured posts" widget, then header. I added a priority number 1 in the snippet that moved navigation up, but nothing changed. What am I missing?

Please, help. Thanks in advance!

Would need to see the code however you can use this genesis hook map as a guide.

I have seen this hook map online already, and it makes things even more confusing for me, because it looks like all I have to do is hook up the navigation bar to the very top hook called "genesis_before" and my issues would be solved, right? But when I messed with the code, my site crashed. It was backed up so I'm up and running again, but back to square one.

Which part of the code should I provide?

[Brad Dalton]

Did you use a code editor or the theme editor?

Paste your code into a Github gist and link to it from here.

Looks like I was using theme editor, specifically functions.php.

Hm...my link to Github is not showing up. I made it secret, should I have made it public?

[Brad Dalton]

Embed the public link without the javascript

So what you want to do is:

Reposition the nav menu before the before header widget?

Exactly. I want the navigation to be right at the top, above the "featured posts" widget area (which is genesis_before_header). I tried to change the snippet wording to before_before_header but it didn't have any effect. Or that's when my site crashed, can't remember now.

[Brad Dalton]

Reposition the nav menu using the genesis_before hook with a priority lower than 10

remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_before', 'genesis_do_nav', 1 );

There is no before_before_header hook as you can see in the hook map.

So is this what the new code needs to look like?

// Move primary navigation
remove_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'genesis_do_nav' );
add_action( 'genesis_before', 'genesis_do_nav', 1);

[Brad Dalton]

Should be ok. Make sure you use a code editor and not the theme editor.

Wow! You saved the day! Thanks, Brad! I'm sure others will benefit from this info.

Used in theme editor (under Appearance, then Edit) and it's perfect! Thanks again!
