title: How do I customize a Wordpress theme header to change layout?
body: <p>I am using the latest version of the Avada theme. I would like to place full-width content (a simple shortcode) in the header area of a page that has sidebars enabled. However, I have found that the theme does not allow you to have full-width content (aside from built-in options like the slide, menu, artwork, etc.), with a page that has sidebars enabled. </p>
  
  <p>A moderator on their user forum wrote this in regards to this limitation:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Going by your screenshot you will have to create a custom solution for that. (referring to the full width section above the page and sidebar content, based on your screenshot) – that would mean creating a std page in WP and then in the header file using PHP to call that page and it's content into position:</p>

  <pre><code>    &lt;?php if ( is_front_page() ) { $subPageHeader = new WP_Query("page_id=25″); &gt;while($subPageHeader-&gt;have_posts()) : $subPageHeader-&gt;the_post(); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>

    <p>This is just a head start.</p>

  <p>Here is the screenshot he's referring to: <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/jHRdn.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.stack.imgur.com/jHRdn.jpg</a></p>
  
  <p>The four content items: Our Issues, Our Contract, Opportunities, Q&amp;A is what I'm trying to add. </p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I only got a partial explanation and am humbly asking for the community's help on achieving this. Thanks in advance.</p>
