Atahualpa WordPress Theme Configuration Part 6

Add New Widget Area in Above of Post Title

It is already a long time that I do not write about Atahualpa WordPress Theme configuration. It is because I am busy in other aspect of blogging such as blog marketing, blog content creation, blog SEO, Guest Blogging Preparation, make money blogging and others. With the whole of these busyness, I have no time to do design customization for this blogging tips blog and that’s why there is no Atahualpa WordPress Theme Configuration blog post series. However, The time is with me finally so here another Atahualpa WordPress Theme configuration blog post.

As for remembering, here the previous blog post of Atahualpa WordPress Theme Configuration blog post series:

In last Atahualpa configuration blog post series, I write about how to limit Atahualpa width. And for now, I want to share how to create new area of widget. This is one of great feature that Atahualpa provides. We allow to add freely new placement of widget area beside the default placement. In this blog post, I will share how to add new widget area in above of blog post and only show while readers in single post area. This Atahualpa customization include a simple code and Atahualpa Theme Option (ATO). Let’s start:

Prepare The Code

As I mention above, this time I want to share how to create new widget area which only showed while readers read the single post. Here the code that can fulfill this need:

<?php /*Upper Post Widget*/
if (is_single())
{bfa_widget_area('name=Upper Post Widget &align=1');}
?>

The Widget Creation

In this part, we will put the code so the widget will be showed in above of each blog post. Here how we do it:

• Copy The Code
• Log in to “WordPress Admin Page”
• Go To “Appearance” and click it
• Click “Atahualpa Theme Options”
• Go to “Center Column” area
• Click “STYLE & edit CENTER COLUMN”
• Go to “The LOOP” area
• Paste the code in very upper part

This widget creation will put a single widget in above of blog post – in above of navigation area exactly. We can fill this widget base on our needs by go to WordPress widget area in WordPress Admin page. As example, I put calendar on this “Upper Post Widget” and here the result:

Final Words

Widgetize is one of great feature that provided by Atahualpa WordPress Theme. This theme allows us to add new placement of widget freely. In this blog post, I share how to put the widget in above of each post which only showed in single post. I only show the basic widgetize in this blog post. You surely can customize this widgetize further. You can put it in different area or divide the widget into three areas. There are so many potential to make it into more great widget base on the need.
