 * Hi,
 * I would like to add more Home page widgets.
 * I read this guide.
 * [http://cyberchimps.com/guide/adding-additional-widgets](http://cyberchimps.com/guide/adding-additional-widgets)
 * And it worked well. However it will only allow you to add 1 single, double or
   triple set and vary the order. Thats it.
 * I would like to be able to add 3 triple widgets and two singles etc. Anyone else
   know how to do this?
 * Thank You for any help

 * There is no limit to adding widget areas. Keep in mind that an area can include
   as many widgets as you want, it just determines positioning. (like a sidebar).
 * You’ll want to make any of these changes in a child theme, which is very important.

 * Hi janet4now
 * I am using a child theme. Thanks for the link. However with the link I provided
   the procedure creates 5 php files in the child theme.
 * sidebar-home-widgets-triple.php
    sidebar-home-widgets-double.php sidebar-home-
   widget-single.php front-page.php functions.php
 * There is something in there that is limiting the use of each widget style to 
   one.

 * The link you provided gives you an example. To vary from that example, you’ll
   need to use the instructions of the link I sent you.

 * OK now I have the required number of widgets. Added the code to responsive_child:
   sidebar-home-widgets-triple.php and responsive_child: Theme Functions (functions.
   php).
 * But as can be seen do not line up ??? Probably something newbie
 * Thank You

 * There is an extra class of .fit added to the widgets 7 thru 12.
 * The .fit class should only be added to the last widget in the row.
 * Remove from widget #’s 7,8,10,11 and it should line up for you.
