Here I don´t know why it is not showing on the previous comment.

This is what I what to achieve:

Since my las comments I have made attempts on achieving this by means of a widget area with the arbitrary text widget, so far I have this bit of code:

My idea is to place it on a widget area on the Modern Portfolio Child Theme, on the about portion of the site

here is my first attempt

LINK TO SITE

When I see it on http://jsfiddle.net it looks ok but after I place the text widget on the site it shows all wrong, see link above, i imagine the reason is because of the absolute positioning.

Here is the jsfiddle.net link for the code (i don´t know)

http://jsfiddle.net/diegocerezo/JZJyH/1/

Here is the gist, dunno how to use it!

The main issue I have is that the images overlay with each other and that is why I´m using the absolute styling, that is how I make them overlay.

HELP!

Again thanks a lot in advance!

Sorry I took to long to answer, thanks for the tip I´ll try to take into account for future mods.

I could not get the second widget to even show I don´t know what I did wrong but it just does not show on the front side of the site, it shows on the back end perfectly but any widgets I add just don´t show.  Anyway Exploring the links on your previos posts I found a plugin called "Layout Extras" or something of the like and that worked wonders, so in the end the solution that worked for me was somewhat of a hybrid i´m still using the first bit of code you gave me to add a widget and with the home sidebar activated via widget it ended looking 90% of what i had in mind and it works 100% for what I needed it for.

 

Thanks a lot, your help was very much welcomed!

 

Hope you have a great day!

Ok, I did  somewhat what you told me, I did not move the slider but just created a new widget area on the "genesis_before_loop" since the responsive slider is a widget I just added it to the widget and it shows exactly how I what it to show.  On to the second issue, I registered a widget area on  the "genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area" with this code:

<code>

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area',
'name' => __( 'SideBar', 'eleven40' ),
'description' => __( 'This is the after header widget area.', 'eleven40' ),
) );

add_action( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area', 'wpsites_after_header_widgett', 8 );
function wpsites_after_header_widgett() {
if ( is_home() && is_active_sidebar( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area' ) ) {
echo '<div class="home-slider">';
dynamic_sidebar( 'genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area' );
echo '</div><!-- end .genesis_before_sidebar_widget_area -->';
}}

<code>

Just a mod of the code you gave me.

and the sidebar shows on the admin side but whenever I add something to it, it does not show on the site.

What´em I missing?

First let me thank you for your help! I consider I have made some progress with the information you gave me.

Second I got a bit stuck, with your code i managed to add a widget area on the "genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap" hook and it works fine, perfect actually, however I need it to be next to the slider, if you look carefully the slider is smaller, was 960px now is 650, I need the widget to be in the blank space now visible next to the slider, how do I do that?

 

Any further help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello, here is the link http://www.fundaesq.org/

 

Rigth now is pretty much just the default agency install but with some changes on the aesthetics but only background and some PNG from the original theme, that´s all.

 

Thanks
