## Description

_GPP Base Hook Widgets_ is a plugin that creates new widget areas for the [Base theme](http://graphpaperpress.com/themes/base/)
by [Graph Paper Press](http://graphpaperpress.com) and attaches them to the theme’s
action hooks. Basically, it allows you to add widgets pretty much anywhere.

Typically, to add extra stuff to the theme, you must use one of _Base’s_ action 
hooks. This can be quite confusing to some users. This plugin was created mainly
for those users without much PHP knowledge. It allows them to take advantage of 
_Base’s_ hook system without the need to understand how it works. Of course, even
advanced users can take advantage of this, especially when dealing with client work.

This plugin is for **WordPress 3.0+ only**.

You must have the [Base theme](http://graphpaperpress.com/themes/base/) installed
to use it.

## Installation

 1. Upload `gpp-base-hook-widgets.zip` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the _Plugins_ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to your _Widgets_ panel and add widgets to the new widget area.

## FAQ

  Why create this plugin?

Many users don’t understand how to use action hooks from a child theme. PHP might
not be their thing. I wanted these users to be able to easily take advantage of 
some of _Base’s_ more advanced features without having to learn how to code.

  What does this plugin do, exactly?

It creates 12 new widget areas that _hook_ into various parts of the theme. This
allows users to add widgets virtually anywhere.

  What widgets areas are available?

Aside from _Base’s_ many default widget areas, you’ll get 12 new ones:

 * Hook: Before Header
 * Hook: Header
 * Hook: After Header
 * Hook: Before Content
 * Hook: After Content
 * Hook: Before Title
 * Hook: After Title
 * Hook: Before Sidebar
 * Hook: After Sidebar
 * Hook: Before Footer
 * Hook: Footer
 * Hook: After Footer
