    When I try to register a new widget area to my Genesis child theme via Toolbox I get the following error upon activation:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function genesis_register_sidebar() in /var/domain/wp-content/plugins/toolbox/modules/add_sidebars.php on line 18

    Here is the source code of my module:

    <?php
/*
Module Name: Custom Sidebars
Description: Adds additional widget areas to your Genesis Child Theme. [Backend|Frontend]
Author: Studiopress
Author URI: https://my.studiopress.com/tutorials/register-widget-area/
*/

/* Sicherheitsabfrage */
if ( !class_exists('Toolbox') ) {
	die();
}

/* Ab hier kann's los gehen */
/* Widget above the header */
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'aboveheader',
'name' => __( 'Above the Header', 'news' ),
'description' => __( 'An additional header before the original header', 'news' ),
) );

/* Hook in above the head */
add_action( 'genesis_before', 'sp_genesis_before' );
function sp_genesis_before() {
genesis_widget_area( 'aboveheader', array(
'before' => '<div class="aboveheader widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
}

    If I use the same snippet in the functions.php of my Genesis child theme, it works perfectly. So I assume there is a problem between Toolbox and Genesis? Or do I have to add something, so that it “knows” the function?

    The first part of the snippet above has to be extended:

    add_action( 'genesis_setup', 'news_secondheader' );
function news_secondheader() {
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'aboveheader',
'name' => __( 'Above the Header', 'news' ),
'description' => __( 'An additional header before the original header', 'news' ),
) );
}
