    I cannot register a sidebar widget using code snippets. It works in the funcitons.php file. I get a white screen when I activate it.

    Code:

    //* Register after post widget area
    genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id' => 'header_feature',
    'name' => __( 'Header Feature', 'GenStarter' ),
    'description' => __( 'This is a widget area that is placed after the Header', 'GenStarter' ),
    ) );

    Thanks for the help.

    Try running it on the after_setup_theme hook:

    add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function () {

	addgenesis_register_sidebar( array(
		'id' => 'header_feature',
		'name' => __( 'Header Feature', 'GenStarter' ),
		'description' => __( 'This is a widget area that is placed after the Header', 'GenStarter' ),
	) );

} );

    Thanks for your response. It didn’t work. I copied your code into snippets.

    This is the error I get:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function addgenesis_register_sidebar() in Z:\web\wp-content\plugins\code-snippets\php\snippet-ops.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 3

    Never mind, your code worked, with the exception of

    addgenesis_register_sidebar( array(

    I removed the add if front of genesis_register_sidebar
    Didn’t notice that when I copied it.

    Thanks for your support, it’s a great plugin!

    Like I said, this is an issue with your theme. Possibly, you are using a Genesis child theme without the parent theme installed. To resolve the issue, delete your theme folder using SFTP or similar.

    I can not access ftp server. is there is another way

    how to accsess ftp
