    Hi
    I am using a child theme of Cenote.
    Is it possible to somehow add a new widget area just below the header and post slider, in a way that is retained should the parent theme be updated?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi,

    For a new widget area below the header, you can go to the ‘function.php’ in the child theme and insert the widget area code as shown below:

    function header_widgets_init() {
    
    register_sidebar( array(
    
        'name' => 'Below Header Sidebar',
    
        'id' => 'header-sidebar1',
    
        'before_widget' => '<aside class="widget %2$s">',
    
        'after_widget' => '</aside>',
    
        'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
    
        'after_title' => '</h2>',
    
    ) );
    
    }
    
    add_action( 'widgets_init', 'header_widgets_init' );
    
    function below_header_sidebar(){
    	
    	if ( is_active_sidebar( "header-sidebar1" )) {
    	dynamic_sidebar( "header-sidebar1" );
    	}
    }
    add_action( 'cenote_after_header', 'below_header_sidebar' );

    Thanks.

    Thanks Rajesh. I do have an issue with Google Maps that I have posted here. If you get a chance any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    It seems you are using a plugin for the google map, so could you ask in the plugin support forum as they might be able to provide you with a better solution?

    Thanks.
