    Hi guys,
    So I used your documentation to create a custom widget for the header section: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/adding-a-widget-area-to-the-header/

    The code used (from documentation):

    add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}

    Works like a charm, thank you!

    However, I need the header/widget to only show on the front page.
    The reason is this: the custom header widget contains a small digital clock which should only be visible on the Home page, and not all sub-pages.

    I guess I need to add some code to the above code section, but I have no idea what the code/function is to only show the custom header widget on the front page? I could imagine it to be some kind of an if-function that states the condition “if page === ‘Home’, then show header” or something, but what would you suggest?

    Thanks! Love your product and services!

    Hi Andy,
    Thanks. I can’t seem to get it to work though. The custom header widget/clock is not showing at all now.

    The slug of my home/front page is just ‘home’, and I’m using this code:

    if ( is_page( 'home' )) {
		add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
};
    }

    I have added the code to the same functions.php as the code for the custom header widget (the functions.php file for the child theme).

    Hey!

    Please change your code as the following

    if ( is_page( 'home' )) {
		add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}
    }

    If I catched the error correctly, you must be ok.

    Let me know if I have missed something.

    Hmmm.. no, still not working. The header widget is not showing at all now.

    I have this code in my Quick CSS field. Would that have something to say? The clock/widget is located to the right side, just below the logo/menu section/border.

    /* Header clock CSS */
#header .widget {
left: 91%;
padding-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: 80%;
padding-bottom: 0px;
z-index: 1;
}

    Hi,

    Please use the code as following

    add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
if(is_home()){
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}
}

    Hi Yigit,

    For some reason the is_home() command doesn’t seem to do the trick. I tried with is_front_page() instead and it works!

    So the final, working code is:

    add_action( 'ava_after_main_menu', 'enfold_customization_header_widget_area' );
function enfold_customization_header_widget_area() {
if(is_front_page()){
	dynamic_sidebar( 'header' );
}
}

    Not sure why the is_home() command didn’t work. Probably because it doesn’t recognize my front page as home page.
    Either way it works now.

    Thank you so much for your awesome support. You guys rock!

    Daniel
