This tutorial shows you how to change the custom tagline area in the Eleven40 Pro child theme by StudioPress with a new widget area.
Here’s the before and after screenshots:
Here’s an example of what the code in this tutorial can produce:
The site description(tagline) in the Eleven40 Pro theme has been re-positioned to the genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap hook which you can see in the 1st screenshot.
You can also see the 2 lines of PHP code in the functions file which does this.
//* Reposition the site description
remove_action( 'genesis_site_description', 'genesis_seo_site_description' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrap', 'genesis_seo_site_description' );No need to do anything with the above code.
The Code
Here’s all the code you can copy from the view raw link in the Gist and paste at the end of your child themes functions file to add a new widget area in replace of the site description globally.
Full Width Widget
Note: If you want the content of your widget to span full width, you can change the hook from:
genesis_before_content_sidebar_wrapTo this:
genesis_after_headerNot exactly what you’re looking for? Try the link below.
Hey Brad,
Eventually, I’d like to have a featured post area where the tagline is….sort of like what’s shown here: http://awaytogarden.com/. Would this tutorial lay the brickwork for me…so to speak. If not, what would you suggest? Or could you point me in the direction of a different tutorial. Thanks. š
Hi
There’s many ways you could that.
One would be to remove the header and then add back 3 widgets inline so you can populate them with the text, logo and other content.
Or something like this http://wpsites.net/web-design/add-logo-nav-menu-social-icons-search-box-genesis-header/
Then add the nav after the header and the search in the nav.
The posts i linked to and the related posts links at the end of those posts should give you what you want.
Thanks Brad for pointing me in the right direction. It looks simple enough. I’ll play around and see what I can do. I’ll let you know how it goes. š
It will require a fair amount of work i think based on what i put in to work out, code and test. Its not complicated but a bit tricky.
Thank you for the great tutorials! This was very helpful!
No worries Kevin.
Looks like you added the widget ok.
Yes, I got the tagline removed. Now I just have to figure out the formatting for my opt-in form! š
What exactly do you need?
When I just put the Genesis E-News extended widget in there, the field are the entire width of the page. I’m looking for something more like the one on http://www.elementarylibrarian.com. It’s offset but is responsive when viewed in a smaller window or mobile device.
Try this:
Actually, this could work. I have a lead pages account and could use this tutorial linked to one of their lead boxes, I would think.

Yes, for Lead Pages it should.
please tell me how to change the colour of sticky menu in eleven 40 pro theme
Hello Rahul
Color of what?
Color of the background?
Color of the font?
Please be specific. On top of this, why don’t you use Firebug to inspect the element you want to modify so you can find the classes and test the changes in your browser before modifying them in your themes file?
