    I have the Modern Studio Pro theme.

    I have Genesis Simple Hooks, and I can also add the code to functions.php or another php style sheet.

    I want to create a full-width widget area after my header area on my front page only (genesis_after_header).

    I've tried some code variations, but have always just ended up crashing my site. I really don't know php well.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    While I wrote this for the News Pro them, the process is the same for any Genesis theme. http://victorfont.com/add-widget-areas-to-news-pro-theme/
