genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'before-content',
'name' => __( 'Before Content', '$text_domain' ),
'description' => __( 'Before Content widget On Single Posts & Pages Only', '$text_domain' ),
) );
add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'add_widget_before_content', 5 );
function add_widget_before_content() {
if( is_singular(array('post', 'page')) && is_active_sidebar('before-content') ) {
genesis_widget_area( 'before-content', array(
'before' => '<div class="before-content" class="widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',
) );
}}Style your widget using the .before-content class in your child themes style sheet.
