1) Add this to your functinos.php
// =========================================================================
// REGISTER CUSTOMIZER - PANEL, SECTION, SETTINGS AND CONTROL
// =========================================================================
function theme_name_register_theme_customizer( $wp_customize ) {
// Create custom panel.
$wp_customize->add_panel( 'text_blocks', array(
'priority' => 10,
'theme_supports' => '',
'title' => __( 'Text Blocks', 'theme_name' ),
'description' => __( 'Set editable text for certain content.', 'theme_name' ),
) );
// Add section.
$wp_customize->add_section( 'custom_title_text' , array(
'title' => __('Custom Text','theme-name'),
'panel' => 'text_blocks',
'priority' => 10
) );
// Add setting
$wp_customize->add_setting( 'title_text_block', array(
'default' => __( 'Default text', 'theme-name' ),
'sanitize_callback' => 'sanitize_text'
) );
// Add control
$wp_customize->add_control( new WP_Customize_Control(
$wp_customize,
'custom_title_text',
array(
'label' => __( 'Custom Text', 'theme_name' ),
'section' => 'custom_title_text',
'settings' => 'title_text_block',
'type' => 'text'
)
)
);
// Sanitize text
function sanitize_text( $text ) {
return sanitize_text_field( $text );
}
}
add_action( 'customize_register', 'theme_name_register_theme_customizer' );
2) Show in the Front End with a hook
function add_custom_field(){
echo get_theme_mod( 'title_text_block');
}
add_action('genesis_site_description', 'add_custom_field');
In this case I’ve placed the custom text in the site-description, but You can put it anywhere You want using the Genesis Visual Hook Guide.

I am new to wordpress, and was very confuse about adding text control, Your post solve my problem. Thank you so much
