Minimum Pro theme Primary Nav and Slider placement

[asbilly92]

Ok I hope this makes sense. I'm using the Minimum Pro theme. I followed this blog post: http://sridharkatakam.com/moving-primary-navigation-tagline-header-minimum-pro/
and successfully moved my primary nav bar to just under the header.

Then I also followed another one of his posts: http://sridharkatakam.com/how-to-replace-background-image-in-minimum-pro-with-responsive-slider/#comment-1504 and successfully also added the new widget area for the slider...the problem is that they both are tying to be - right after the header. I need the nav bar to appear first (below the header) and then the slider to follow that. (also kinda under the header) I think they are like competing for the 'area directly under the header...'? How do I solve this? This is a test-demo site so obviously I'm just getting it ready. The site is: http://www.amystout.com/wordpress1

Any help would be great! FYI: before adding the slider widget area in there the primary nav bar was perfectly just below the header 😉

At a quick glance, your slider is positioned above the navbar, so you might need to invert the order of your functions. Or possibly place the slider n genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap - see the hook references http://my.studiopress.com/docs/hook-reference/

Ok yep thank you! Well it does appear that way but I think they are both competing for the 'genesis-after-header' area because both the navbar and the slider are referencing that area if you know what I mean. In my functions.php file the navbar does come before the slider....

I was wondering about using the genesis_before-content-sidebar-wrap idea also but I was unsure how to change the code from the blog post where I obtained it (explaining how to add the slider in) so that it would reflect adding the slider in before the before_content_sidebar_wrap.....

This is the action part of the code now:

//* Add home slider between header and tagline
add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_slider', 9 );

function minimum_slider() {
if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
printf( '<div %s>', genesis_attr( 'home-slider' ) );
genesis_widget_area( 'home-slider' );
echo '</div>';
}
}

Do you mean to change it to:

//* Add home slider between header and tagline
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'minimum_slider', 9 );

function minimum_slider() {
if (is_home() || is_front_page()) {
printf( '<div %s>', genesis_attr( 'home-slider' ) );
genesis_widget_area( 'home-slider' );
echo '</div>';
}
}

That would make sense to me but I wasn't quite sure....THANK YOU for taking the time 😉

Sridhar, thank you for responding!

I had posted that a while ago and I did find a solution for it!

I my mind I was correct that the nav, minimum_slider, and minimum_site_tagline were all then indeed 'competing' for the same 'genesis_after_header' area!

I did NOT use the above code that I pasted before, instead I changed the order of the functions; or the # at the end of the add_actions and that worked.
For example the #'s at the end of my add_actions now look like this:

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_slider', 16 );

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'minimum_site_tagline', 17 );

Now I have the order of: nav, slider, site tagline.

Thank you 😉
