    I would like to modify the header of the enfold them to accommodate a widget. This is so that I can alter the text or graphics in the header to allow for easy modification. I have a graphics element already there but it is on the left side and I would like to add modifiable text and graphics next to it. I understand this might involve modifying the header.php file but I am willing to do that. Thanks for helping a newby with this.

    When I add the code you suggest to the functions.php file in my child theme I can no longer log in. The login page is blank.
    This is what I am adding to functions.php file:
    It is added at the very bottom of the file.

    add_action( ‘ava_main_header’, ‘enfold_customization_header_widget_area’ );
    function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
    dynamic_sidebar( ‘header’ );
    }

    Hi dmwilson_pcc,

    You need to go to the server via FTP and edit that file, remove the code, check the server log for error and get back to us.

    Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    I left the functions.php file in tact in the original theme and added only the add_action to a functions.php file in the child theme. Seems to work. I have a widget in the header now but am still working to get it right. I put the css code to center the widget in the child theme style.css. However, when I put a content element in the widget it is not centered. I tried a custom html and a text element and both are not working well. Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Are you saying you’re in need of help with the css? If so please provide a link to the page in question.

    Actually a more pressing problem has arisen and I can open a different case if it is too divergent from what I originally asked. I am using a child theme so I can customize without affecting the original. Most of my pages are working except the news page. The page is displayed as from the original page. However, when I edit the page there are no elements there and the page is essentially void of objects. I saw a post saying that updating the plugins helped but I tried this and it didn’t. If you suggest a specific action please give me the details as I am new to WordPress and may not know the specific actions.

    Hi,

    Yes please open a new case so we may keep this one specific to the original issue.

    Best regards,
    Jordan Shannon
