How to reactivate the "Below-Header" widget in Exray

I very much like the Exray theme, and use it on two sites. For some reason, a recent update to WordPress deactivated the “Below Header” widget in the Exray theme on all static pages, and left it only on the blog page. I had developed a site that relies on a slideshow below the header & navigation and above the content on all its pages, and it recently suddenly disappeared. I fixed it on my site by copying this code from the “Main Index Template” to the “Page Template”:

<!– Below header –>
<?php get_sidebar(‘below-header’); ?>
<!– End below header –>

Hope that helps other folks.
