: How do I add a widget to the header area of the 'Twenty Fourteen' WP theme? I would like to add a widget to the header area (above the main menu) of the WordPress Twenty Fourteen theme.
I would like to add a widget to the header area (above the main menu) of the WordPress Twenty Fourteen theme. Ideally this would cut down the size of the header image from the full width to half, with the other half of the area holding the new widget.
I am not well versed in php, css, java, or any other useful stuff like that, so the more simple the solution, the better.
I've not been able to locate a plug-in which achieves this outcome, but a plugin would certainly be my preferred way of doing this, as I can then easily do it across multiple sites if required.

The "Twenty Fourteen" theme does not support header widgets. Plugins don't usually modify themes, either. Your options are:
Find a theme that has the feature you want
Edit your theme
Your theme can be edited from "Admin" -> "Appearance" -> "Editor" -> "header.php". There you could add the code for calling the widget you want.
A word of caution, though: If you do edit your theme, your changes will get overwritten if you install updates to your theme. The default "Twenty Fourteen" theme does get updated occasionally and you would have to be careful not to install these updates. It appears that creating a child theme would be a way of preventing your customizations from being overridden.
