 * Hi,
 * For this you would need to edit header.php with a child theme and then add your
   custom widget area code in header.php on line 28, after it says:
 *     ```
       <?php echo boxstyle_site_title(); ?>
       ```
   
 * There are many guides how to add a widget area, here is one: [https://buckleupstudios.com/add-a-new-widget-area-to-a-wordpress-theme/](https://buckleupstudios.com/add-a-new-widget-area-to-a-wordpress-theme/)

 * Thanks for the reply. I was putting the code in the wrong place.
