Full-width YouTube video below the header in Outfitter Pro

This tutorial provides the steps to display a YouTube video in between the site header and product masonry grid on Outfitter Pro‘s homepage.

Tested in Outfitter Pro 1.0.2.

Step 1

Let’s register our custom front page featured widget area.

Edit Outfitter Pro’s functions.php.

Above

genesis_register_sidebar(
    array(
        'id'          => 'front-page-1',
        'name'        => __( 'Front Page 1', 'outfitter-pro' ),
        'description' => __( 'This is the front page 1 section.', 'outfitter-pro' ),
    )
);

add

genesis_register_sidebar(
    array(
        'id'          => 'front-page-featured',
        'name'        => __( 'Front Page Featured', 'outfitter-pro' ),
        'description' => __( 'This is the front page featured section.', 'outfitter-pro' ),
    )
);

Step 2

Go to Appearance > Widgets and add a Video widget inside the “Front Page Featured” widget area.

“Add Video” button > Insert from URL and paste your desired YouTube video URL.

Click on Add to Widget.

Step 3

Time to show the widgets placed in this widget area on the homepage.

Edit front-page.php.

Before

// Runs the Genesis loop.
genesis();

add

add_action( 'genesis_after_header', 'custom_after_header' );
/**
 * Outputs `front-page-featured` widget area below .site-header.
 */
function custom_after_header() {
    genesis_widget_area( 'front-page-featured', array(
        'before' => '<div class="front-page-featured widget-area">',
        'after'  => '</div>',
    ) );
}

That’s it!
