add widget between header image and logo area

The widget goes above the logo area everytime. I have the widget area code replacing the menu.

Then in the atahualpa options for header I have it %logo %pages %image

It still goes to the top. any suggestions?

i put it in replace of the %pages menu for the old style and I checked to make sure it is blanked in the wordpress menu manager.

It now looks like this.

Code:

                // Old custom Atahualpa menu system:                

                else 

                {

                echo '<table><td><tr>';

                bfa_widget_area('name=Menu Widget Only');

                echo '</td></tr></table>';

                }

I am not going to be using the old menu system anyways that is why I didn't go through the trouble of using if function exist and such.

I edited the theme code. In bfa_header_config.php

full code for the part I editted is the %pages check

Code:

// Page Menu Bar

        if ( strpos($header_items,'%pages') !== FALSE OR strpos($header_items,'%page-center') !== FALSE 

        OR strpos($header_items,'%page-right') !== FALSE ) {







                // Since 3.5.2: New WP 3 menu system:

                if ( function_exists('wp_nav_menu') AND has_nav_menu('menu1') ) 

                {

                        if ( strpos($header_items,'%pages') !== FALSE ) 

                                $alignment = "left";

                        elseif ( strpos($header_items,'%page-center') !== FALSE ) 

                                $alignment = "center";

                        else 

                                $alignment = "right";

                        $page_menu_bar = bfa_new_wp3_menus("menu1", $alignment );

                } 



                // Old custom Atahualpa menu system:                

                else 

                {

                echo '<table><td><tr>';

                bfa_widget_area('name=Menu Widget Only');

                echo '</td></tr></table>';

                }





        }

You don't need to edit the code, you can put the code to create a new widget area right in the 'Configure Header Area' option. It is one place you can do it because the theme knows enough to parse the php for that function.

ohhh I just remember hearing php couldnt be placed in options now. So I assumed everywhere.

EDIT:
ok so i added this to the header options
%logo <?PHP bfa_widget_area('name=Menu Widget Only'); if(is_home()){ ?> %image <?PHP }?>

The widget doesnt show up at all now. any suggestions?

you can't use the is_home, just the new widget code. so this won't work

HTML Code:

%logo <?PHP bfa_widget_area('name=Menu Widget Only'); if(is_home()){ ?> %image <?PHP }?>

but this will

HTML Code:

%logo <?PHP bfa_widget_area('name=Menu Widget Only'); ?> %image
