Put Welcome Message Widget on All Posts

[Tony]

How do I make it so that the welcome message widget displays on all pages? Right now it only displays on the home page.

I tried adding || is_single to the following code in my functions.php file, but it didn't work. Can anyone help?

//* Hook welcome message widget area before content
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'beautiful_welcome_message' );
function beautiful_welcome_message() {

	if ( ! is_front_page() || get_query_var( 'paged' ) >= 2)
		return;

	genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-message', array(
		'before' => '<div class="welcome-message" class="widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );

}

It should work like this:

//* Hook welcome message widget area before content
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'beautiful_welcome_message' );
function beautiful_welcome_message() {
	genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-message', array(
		'before' => '<div class="welcome-message" class="widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );

}

The conditional in your snippet above is saying "if we aren't on the homepage, don't show the widget area." So by removing it, it should show on every single page of the site.

I see. I saw the "is not" statement, but I couldn't figure out what they were doing. Since I don't want it on pages, I made the code like this:

//* Hook welcome message widget area before content
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'beautiful_welcome_message' );
function beautiful_welcome_message() {

	if (  is_front_page() || get_query_var( 'paged' ) >= 2 || is_single())
		

	genesis_widget_area( 'welcome-message', array(
		'before' => '<div class="welcome-message" class="widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );

}

Thanks for the help!
