 * I was wondering if it was possible or if you could look into the possible implementation
   of adding widgets/category block lists to the front page like in one of your 
   other themes [http://demo.wpbandit.com/?theme=typegrid](http://demo.wpbandit.com/?theme=typegrid)
 * Thanks.

 * Hi!
 * Will add this to the list of possible features for the future, thanks for the
   feedback! You can see the current list[ here](https://github.com/AlxMedia/hueman/issues?state=open).
 * For now what you could do is go to Theme Options > Sidebars > Create a new one,
   for example “front-widgets” as ID.
 * Then add this in index.php with a child theme where you want it:
 *     ```
       <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'front-widgets' ); ?>
       ```
   
 * Or if you only want it to appear on the very first page, so that it disappears
   if someone goes to page 2 for example, do:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_home() && !is_paged() ): ?>
       <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'front-widgets' ); ?>
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```

 * Another excellent response. Thank you for your detailed insight Alex, already
   bought several of your themes and am a big fan of your work.

 * Cheers! 🙂
 * Just to let you know: I am no longer involved in any theme-selling. I left the
   team completely mid-august 2013. Haven’t looked back but have heard support has
   not been so good…

 * I kind of got that idea… I had bought several themes from you guys, and then 
   I noticed that you were the only one doing support…and now you left… I haven’t
   bought any since then, but I stumbled on your site and like your work… there 
   are a lot of wp designers that leave things “half-ass”… not here! Great work.

 * Hi Alex,
 * Thank you for your great and lovely theme 🙂
 * I wanted to know what if I want to add widgets only front page in 2 boxed columns
   or 1 big image & article on the left & the few more with small thumbnails and
   title on the left of the middle content area showing like “more from category”?
   What code changes should I make in the above. I guess this would add more looks
   like a magazine to your theme.
