Move primary widget location to different hook

[ryandiks]

Hello, I'm not very experienced in PHP and WordPress/Genesis. I have a custom child theme (not designed by me, designer no longer on contract) and I want to move the location of the Primary Widget from the genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area to genesis_after_sidebar_widget_area. At least, I think that's what I need to do!

The text that is on the top right hand corner (Upcoming STM Trips), I would like moved to below the quotes and quicklinks section which is a custom sidebar.

How do I do this?

Are you sure it's not just a standard widget? Looking at the source, it's inside the widget wrapper, so I would check there first before you try anything else. It appears to just be a text widget.

Not quite what you were saying, Chris. But, you provided the lead I needed! That custom sidebar was inserted inside the standard Genesis sidebar:

add_action('genesis_sidebar','page_custom_sidebar');

And the Primary Widget location was defaulting to always on top of the page_custom_sidebar. I realized that I could achieve what I was looking for by changing the location of the custom sidebar to genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area.

add_action('genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area','page_custom_sidebar');

And now it works the way I want it! I'm actually using Genesis Simple Sidebars now to put different data in that primary widget area (aka the standard sidebar) to customize different pages. But the data in the custom sidebar needs to be on top of whatever I'm doing in the Simple Sidebar.

Thanks for the help!
