 * Hey there,
 * I got a HTML-based theme, and I have two div-bars in it.
    The left div, around
   70% of the total width, is full of text. The right div, around 30% of the total
   width, should be able to place widgets.
 * Now, I have tried multiple things, but I can only add widgets at the bottom of
   the page…
 * How can I add the ability for users to place widgets in the right div?
    I tried
   the codex of widgets, as well as the sidebars, but I can’t get it working.
 * Ty !

 * This page in the codex explains exactly how to do it: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Sidebars](https://codex.wordpress.org/Sidebars).
   If you say you can’t get it working using that information then I don’t know 
   what you’re doing wrong. If you follow that exactly then it works.
