[Support request] 2 Questions from a new user

Hi there,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner!

1. You would create your hero section using BB, then use these instructions to lay your header on top of your BB section?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/merging-header-navigation-content/

Have you tried that and it didn’t work?

2. Adding widget areas to the Slide-out navigation is planned for the next release. For now, you could add your own widget area using the built in hooks.

For example, register the widget area:

add_action( 'widgets_init', 'theme_slug_widgets_init' );
function theme_slug_widgets_init() {
    register_sidebar( array(
        'name' => __( 'Slide-out Navigation' ),
        'id' => 'my-slide-out-nav',
        'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
	'after_widget'  => '</li>',
	'before_title'  => '<h4 class="widget-title">',
	'after_title'   => '</h4>',
    ) );
}

Then insert it into the slide-out navigation:

add_action( 'generate_inside_slideout_navigation','tu_add_slideout_widget_area' );
function tu_add_slideout_widget_area() {
    dynamic_sidebar( 'my-slide-out-nav' );
}

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Hi Jason,

Both code can be inserted using this method: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/#code-snippets

Hope this helps.

You can try using GP’s built in font awesome icons: http://fontawesome.io/icons/

Oh I thought you got the slider working.

So all the steps were done correctly with the instructions?
Can you provide a link to your site? Hard for me to tell where that’s coming from with just the screenshot.
