Widget above theme menu in sidebar

Solution for that would be a custom child theme.

In your child theme’s functions.php add the following code:

<?php // our custom child functions go here

function twentyfourteen_child_widgets_init() {
   register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => __( 'Secondary Top Widget Area', 'twentyfourteen' ),
		'id'            => 'sidebar-0',
		'description'   => __( 'A widget area that appears on the left above the secondary navigation menu.', 'twentyfourteen' ),
		'before_widget' => '<aside id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget'  => '</aside>',
		'before_title'  => '<h1 class="widget-title">',
		'after_title'   => '</h1>',
	) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'twentyfourteen_child_widgets_init' );

Copy sidebar.php from the parent theme in to your child theme and add the following code just above the line that reads <?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'secondary' ) ) : ?>

<?php if ( is_active_sidebar( 'sidebar-0' ) ) : ?>
	<div id="primary-sidebar" class="primary-sidebar widget-area" role="complementary">
		<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-0' ); ?>
	</div><!-- #primary-sidebar -->
<?php endif; ?>

Install and activate then visit the widget area and add widget(s) to the new location – these will always appear above the secondary menu.

You are most welcome.

I’m new to this message board, but is there a way to give you… Upvotes or something?

Would be awesome if there was such a system in place – but its the thought that counts 🙂

In terms of giving you could consider giving the theme a 5 star rating and leaving a nice review? 🙂
