Add color bar under menu – without showing title and breadcrumbs

1. Using one of your suggestions(#378873), I put below attempt into functions.php, hoping to put a color line under the menu.

add_filter(‘avf_title_args’, ‘avf_title_args_append’, 1);

function avf_title_args_append($args) {
//if(is_home() || is_front_page()) return;
//$banner = “<div class=’container_wrap append-content’>”;
$banner = “<div class=’container_wrap append-content’>”;
//$banner = “<div class=’container’>”;
$banner = “<div class=’container’ style=’background-color:yellow!important;width:100%!important;min-width:100%!important;’>”;
//for testing, put in the span — was just “banner here”.
$banner .= ‘<span>For avf_title_args FILTER HERE</span>’;
$banner .= “</div>”;
$banner .= “</div>”;
$args[‘html’] = “<div class='{class} title_container’>cat<div class=’container’>dog<{heading} class=’main-title entry-title’>lizard{title}</{heading}>{additions}</div></div>Bannerrighthere{$banner}”;
return $args;
}

This filter does indeed create the color line (the cat, dog, lizard, bannerrighthere — and odd colors — were to help me figure out my problem and your solution,)

2. But…since I want to hide the title and the breadcrumbs, I then went into Enfold -> Header and turned both of them off.

3. As soon as I turn off title/breadcrumbs… the #1 color line attempt — which DID work — disappears. Is there a way to do both the first and second items?

4. Also, is it possible to I put in an easyslider and change its top so it will “sit” up into the (hopefully created) color line?

Please let me know if you have any other ideas — I did try some of the other message suggestions in the knowledgebase, but they seemed to have the same idiosyncracy of disappearing when the title and breadcrumbs are hidden.

Thanks!
