How to move the Archive Text in Genesis

For a while, I have struggled with how to remove or change location of the Archive Intro Text in a Genesis-based theme. Essentially, the idea is to move the Archive Intro Text towards the bottom of the page mostly for SEO purposes.

When I asked the questions on the StudioPress forums, I did not receive a satisfactory answer. So I did what most coders do: hack it till you discover how to do this way. Worry not, because this is not a hack. It is actually the recommended way to make a change like this.

Here is the code

The first 4 lines simply unhook the actions responsible for showing the Archive Intro Text at its default position. This will make sure the Archive Intro Text does not show up in its usual location.

The rest of the code moves the Archive Intro Text down to the bottom of the page, by hooking on to the “woocommerce_after_shop_loop” action. The trick is to get the relevant parameters passed to the function that eventually displays the Archive Intro Text.

This example is limited only to moving the Archive Intro Text. You will have to extend it to display the Archive Headline to the bottom.
