  • Thanks for this – I had a ribbon working when I used WooThemes Canvas but not since I changed to Genesis.

    I have breadcrumbs enabled and the ribbon displays above the post content, at the height of the breadcrumbs.

    I tried changing the add_action to ‘genesis_entry_header’ but that did not change it. I cannot figured out where Genesis_Breadcrumbs are invoked – they are called in ‘genesis_before_loop’ (a deprecated action!).
    =========
    Changes:
    add_action( ‘genesis_before_entry’, ‘sk_display_new_ribbon’ );
    to
    add_action( ‘genesis_entry_header’, ‘sk_display_new_ribbon’, 1 );
    and
    .single-post .content
    to
    .single-post .type-post
