Hi I’m wondering if there is an easy way to have widgets placed in the same column as the logo and navigation when the nav-bar is set to fixed left or fixed right?

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

This is related to your request http://theme.co/x/member/forums/topic/header-area-logo-align-background-colour-room-for-a-widget-area/#post-109394

With some change from x_after_view_global__brand to x_before_view_global__brand

and from

echo '</div><style>.logobar-widget-area { float: right; }</style>';

to

echo '</div><style>.logobar-widget-area { float: none; clear:both; }</style>';

Hope this helps.

Hmm this doesn’t seem to be working, It adds the area to place widgets in the widget section, but its still not showing up below the menu. Any more suggestions? I am using Icon stack. Here is a link to my site:

Hi there,

Please check if your added widgets are correctly added the the sidebar registered by the code.

Upon more closer look, you’re still using old versions of X theme and its plugins. Some feature that requires by above changes are not applicable for older version. As they don’t have any filter support yet.

You can update your theme and plugins if you wish to use this change.

Thanks!

Hi @juanc1130,

Before your widgets would appear after the navbar, you have to add a widget container. Please consider adding this code in your child theme’s functions.php

add_action('x_after_view_global__navbar', 'widget_after_navbar' );
function widget_after_navbar(){ ?>
  <?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'Extra Widget After Navbar' ) ) : ?>
  <div class="widget-area after-navbar">
    <div class="x-container max width">
      <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'Extra Widget After Navbar' ); ?>
    </div>  
  </div>
  <?php endif; ?>
<?php}

Hope this helps. Kindly let us know.

The solution that was linked to above worked perfectly for me to get a widget area in my fixed left bar, however I would like to have the widget appear below the main menu rather than below the logo.

Is this possible?
