Widgets on the home page
-
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to put three main widget areas on the home page. I can see how to do that in the footer, but not in the main content area. Is there an easy way to do this that I am missing?
Thank you!

Hi erinrouss,
what do you mean exactly?
How to get widgets in your sidebars of the main content or in the widget areas at the top of the page (header widgets) ?
Go to Appearance -> Widgets and try out, you will see where widgets popup! 🙂
If you get stuck, let me know what you mean exactly..

I’m looking for the main content of the home page, under the slider but above the footer. I was hoping to put three widget areas there. Does that make sense? I tried using Page Builder in the main page as a workaround, but it doesn’t look the same in terms of dividers and formatting as the footer widgets. I was hoping for three widget areas in that space like the footer has.
Hi erinrouss,
thats not included in the theme, but you can create a child theme and then code this homepage and register 3 new widgetareas. though, you’ll have to make a big step into code, if you never do this normally.
Otherwise make a static front page and use the page template with 2 sidebars here.
Then you also have 3 columns, just the middle one is bigger and “normal” content..
Another idea:
the x2 theme is based on Custom Community, but fresher, more beautiful (my opinion) and there’s just a big update released with all bugs fixed!
see the (not finished) demo page with 3 columns widgetized homepage 😉
http://themekraft.com/x2-demo/The x2 theme sounds great! Is it free? I cannot find it when I search the themes within wordpress. Is it available yet?
ah no that one’s not here in the free repo..
oh ok. I think page builder will suffice for now then. Thanks!
