Place Custom Widget/Area into Other Primary Framework Location

[kennethfeldman]

Hi Jason,

By default, Widget and Widget Areas can be placed in the default locations available (left, right, above content, below content, etc).

But I’d like to be able to create a widget location that will appear in one of the other Primary Framework Locations, such as themeblvd_fixed_sidebar_before, or themeblvd_header_before, or some other unused location.

I can create a function that adds a div or image.

But can you share how to add a widget/area to a Primary Framework Locations via a function or other method?

Thanks!

(This will be for JS2.0.4)

Hi,

You’d use the themeblvd_add_sidebar_location() function in your child theme’s functions.php, and then you display that widget area location with themeblvd_display_sidebar(). This will setup everything with the framework custom widget area system at Appearance > Widget Areas.

See “Examples” here under themeblvd_add_sidebar_location description:
