Amazing! I will try this later. Also do you have any thoughts on making the second navigation sticky and full width, 100% of the browser?

Thanks again!

I added the code in like you said and it now looks like this

if ( is_category( 'tutorials' ) && is_active_sidebar('new-widget') && is_paged( '') ) {

The only problem is that it has had the reverse affect. I would like the widget to only appear on page 1 and not subsequent pages. However, at the moment it does not appear on page 1, but does appear on pages 2, 3, 4, 5 ...

Is there a way to fix that?

I am stumped with this one, sorry for being a total newb but I cant figure it out.

her is the code.

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'new-widget',
	'name'        => __( 'Featured Tutorials', 'domain' ),
	'description' => __( 'Add Content Here', 'domain' ),
) );
 
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'your_widget' );

function your_widget() {
if ( is_category( 'tutorials' ) && is_active_sidebar('new-widget') ) {
if ( is_paged() ) { 	}
 
genesis_widget_area( 'new-widget', array(
'before' => '<div class="home-top widget-area">',
'after'	 => '</div>',
		
) ); 
 
  }
 
}

What else needs to be added to the code so the widget is only displayed on the 1 page of the archive.

Thanks in advance.

I am having trouble adding a conditional tag after the function.

I have tried adding the is_paged code in many ways using tutorials and WordPress codex you linked but each time I break break my site. So I am defiantly doing something wrong.

This is what the code currently looks like for your reference.

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
	'id'          => 'new-widget',
	'name'        => __( 'Featured Tutorials', 'domain' ),
	'description' => __( 'Add Content Here', 'domain' ),
) );
 
add_action( 'genesis_before_loop', 'your_widget' );

function your_widget() {
if ( is_category( 'tutorials' ) && is_active_sidebar('new-widget') ) {

genesis_widget_area( 'new-widget', array(
'before' => '<div class="home-top widget-area">',
'after'	 => '</div>',
		
) ); 
 
  }

Secondly, the widget title styling did not transfer over. I was wondering if I need to add something to the code for that to be pulled? I can change it with css but I am just curious.

Again thanks for your help, I have one other question about the formatting.

I would like to style the widget in the same way the home page is styled with the sidebar in line with the featured post widget. Is there anything I need to consider in order to achieve this?

I have worked out question number 2.

I have used ( is_category( 'tutorials' ) in order to display on a single category page. Then I will just hook a new widget in for each category page. Does this sound ok?

Jourdain

[jourdain]

I can't believe I missed that header option in the settings! Thanks for that.

I have hooked a new widget are into the archive page ( http://creativefreaks.co.uk/category/inspiration ) but I have a few questions before I proceed.

1. Does the widget need to styled or should it take on the themes styling? I just want to make sure I have not made a mistake.

2. I was hoping to have a different featured post for each archive category, is this possible?

3. Can the widget be removed when the user clicks through to page 2 of the archive?

If you could point me the write direction and I will learn/teach myself.

Thanks again

I would personally add a border to the right hand side of the main navigation items. This would solve the cluttered navigation problem. See CSS below

#subnav li a {
border-right: 1px solid #c2c2c2;
}

In addition I would reduce the amount of content on the home page to give a less cluttered feel.

Enjoy
