WooCommerce: How to Add a Top Bar to Storefront Theme

The Storefront theme is one of the most popular WooCommerce themes. As of today, it has 200,000 active installations and 4.5/5 ratings, as well as a great overall performance.

But sure, you can’t win them all. Storefront is missing an important feature: the top bar. That’s a pity, because most ecommerce themes have either a dedicated widget area or somewhere you can add content in the theme options.

So, let’s go fix that. Here’s how to add a top bar with a background to your Storefront theme. Enjoy!

PHP Snippet: Add Top Bar to Storefront Theme

add_action( 'storefront_before_header', 'bbloomer_storefront_top_bar' );

function bbloomer_storefront_top_bar() {
	?>
	<div class="sf-top-bar">
		<div class="col-full">
			Your text here	
		</div>
	</div>
	<?php
}

And a bit of CSS for styling the top bar:

.sf-top-bar {
	text-align: center;
	padding: 0.2em 0;
	background: #E11F27;
	color: white;
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file and CSS at the bottom of its style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my guide "Should I Add Custom Code Via WP Editor, FTP or Code Snippets?" and my video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"
