Add fixed content above header

I logged in today to ask this same question

Specifically, I would like to determine the background and text colors and make it clickable. I am fine putting the fixed content above the header, but below works too since I am not using widget 1.

Here is my link so you can see what I have done so far: https://scottsmoneymachines.com/

Thanks!

Thanks Wes. I was unable to get the widget set up because I do not know what my widget area ID is. I am technical enough to add the code and figure out some things, but I’ve been struggling trying to figure out how to find or make a widget area ID.

I am not sure, but I am assuming the widget area ID is the name of the widget, which I expect would show up under “Appearance > Widgets” as an available widget once I create/define it.

Can you shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Scott

Example 2: add an extra widget area above the site header. Just replace before-header with your widget area ID.

<?php
// Paste the code BELOW this line into your child theme functions.

/**
* Add a widget area before the site header with Genesis
*
* @author Reasons to Use Genesis
* @link http://reasonstousegenesis.com/before-header/
*/
add_action( ‘genesis_before_header’, ‘rtug_before_header_widget_area’ );
function rtug_before_header_widget_area() {

genesis_widget_area( ‘before-header’ ); // replace before-header with your widget area ID

}
