After Entry Widget Area
Lab: The Loop Part 2 – Developer’s Guide to Customizing Genesis
Video Runtime: 11:30
Let’s go through the function genesis_after_entry_widget_area() in Genesis, as it is responsible for building and then rendering out the widgetized area for the “after entry widget area.” You’ll explore how the ! operator in PHP works as well as looking at the conditions which say, Yes let’s go ahead and render it out.
For the customization part of this episode, you will walk through different techniques to turn off (remove) this component. Let’s say you don’t want the after entry widget area in your theme. Ok, this episode discusses how to properly disable and remove this component.
The Proper Way to Remove This Component
If you do not want the after entry widget area to be displayed in your theme, make sure you do not add the theme support for it. Why? Why not just remove the action and unregister the function that renders it out the browser? Because it’s then confusing to the client/site owner if the widget area is visible to them in the Appearance > Widgets UI.
The proper way to remove this component is not add the theme support. If you see this in your theme, remove it:
add_theme_support( 'genesis-after-entry-widget-area' );
Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
