Finally got my Wamp Server and Localhost up and running in time for some much need redisn of my website. What I've been trying to achieve is similar to how the logo and menu appears on my site now - www.drecart.com by using this function;
// Take Away Default Thematic Header
function new_header() {
remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_blogdescription',5);
remove_action('thematic_header','thematic_access',9);
}
add_action('init', 'new_header');
// Insert Custom Header
function custom_header() { ?>
<div id="page-menu" class="menu">
<ul id="page-nav" class="sf-menu">
<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</div>
<?php }
add_action('thematic_header','custom_header', 'wp_page_menu', 'childtheme_menu');
Now I'd like to put the header aside widget slightly above my menu and is where I get stuck. I can get the widget in the header using the code from this post; http://forums.themeshaper.com/topic/widgets-in-the-header
Would I have to create a new widget area plus move the menu from 'thematic_access',9 all in the one function? Could I get away without removing the blog description or is what I want is to make a total custom header?
