Moved to Support. Please be sure to post in the correct section to get the best/fastest results.

If you are using a static front page, this is easy: Just type whatever message you would like into the page you are using for a front page.

If you aren’t using a static front page, the easiest way to achieve this is to use a Graphene action hook widget area and a text widget. You’ll also want to use the Widget Logic plugin to make it show up on just the front page, or, you can use a PHP Widget and a simple bit of coding to achieve the same.

Action hook widget area tutorial:

I’m not sure which widget area you’ll want to use. Probably graphene_before_content or graphene_after_slider.

Let us know how you get on with this.

The two hooks I suggested were just a guess, since I didn’t know anything about your site. (No URL, no other details…) You’ll have to play around with it a bit and experiment with different widget areas.

graphene_top_menu should be what you are looking for… it’s under header.php

NOTE: You will need to use some custom CSS to get the box looking the way you want.
