 * I am having trouble installing the code for the widget area below my header in
   my child theme so I can add a sticky subscribe button. It isn’t showing up. What
   am I doing wrong? Help! I’m terrible at this coding thing.
 * My site is [http://www.floridacoastalcooking.com](http://www.floridacoastalcooking.com)
 * This is what I pasted under the “<?php /**”. (I tried removing the “<?php /**”
   and that didn’t work either.
    _________________________________________________________
 * <?php
    /** // Adds a widget area. if (function_exists(‘register_sidebar’)) { 
   register_sidebar(array( ‘name’ => ‘Extra Header Widget Area’, ‘id’ => ‘extra-
   widget-area’, ‘description’ => ‘Extra widget area after the header’, ‘before_widget’
   => ‘<div class=”widget my-extra-widget”>’, ‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’, ‘before_title’
   => ‘<h2>’, ‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’ )); } // Place the widget area after the 
   header add_action (‘__after_header’, ‘add_my_widget_area’, 10); function add_my_widget_area(){
   if (function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)) { dynamic_sidebar(‘Extra Header Widget
   Area’); } }
