Why don’t put a widget area above social+tagline+menu? You might want to add other widgets there..
If you like this idea that’s what you have to do:
In your child theme functions.php:
/*Create a new widget area*/
if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {
register_sidebar(array(
'name' => 'Navbar Top Widget Area',
'id' => 'extra-navbar-top-widget-area',
'description' => 'A widget area above social block and tagline in header',
'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</div>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h2>'
));
}
/* Add the new widget area into navbar-inner before social-block*/
function add_navbar_top_widget_area(){
if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') ){
ob_start();
?>
<div id="navbar-top" class="widget-area span12">
<?php dynamic_sidebar('Navbar Top Widget Area'); ?>
</div>
<?php
$html = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo $html;
}
}
Now you can add the search widget to this area and of course you have to style it in your child theme style.css .
Note that now social-block, is not the first child of the row anymore, so you have to set its left margin to 0px, this way:
.navbar-inner .social-block {
margin-left: 0px;
}
Hope this helps
