# Move widgets from sidebar.

 * I’m a wordpress noob but I do know how to build a website with raw code. I’m 
   trying to understand something that may be pretty basic.
 * In short **my goal here is to put a widget on the left side of a page easily.**
 * From what I can tell widgets can only go in sidebars on the right easily, if 
   you want to put them in another location on the page (like on the left of the
   page) you need some other plugin, know php, or something that isn’t easy.
 * The theme I am using has a module where you can add custom code html code shortcode(
   still not sure what that is) ect. I’m thinking it may be easier to figure out
   how to get the code for the widget and place it into that custom code module 
   which already sits on the left, rather than finding a plugin that can move a 
   widget somewhere other than the sidebar. Or maybe the easiest option is to go
   into the css and move the widget out of the sidebar that way? I’m not sure does
   anyone know the easiest way to achieve this?
 * The theme I am using has a “page builder” where you can add modules (like a latest
   post module made with the theme) either full width of the page or to the left
   so a sidebar can go to the right. The custom code module Im using on the left
   should be able to accept code for a widget like “tag cloud” then Ill be able 
   to have a tag cloud widget on the left of the page. Is there a way to get a widget
   code into a custom code module like this? Is there a better way than what I’m
   thinking to do this? Thank you.

 * You’ll need to ask them for help – as commercial themes aren’t supported on these
   forums – partly because we have no way to know how they are coded –

 * BTW, using CSS to reposition elements usually doesn’t work well on responsive
   sites.

 * ok ty. as a general rule of thumb though if css reposition doesn’t usually work
   well should I try to see if Im able to add widget code to the custom code module
   I spoke of or if that doesn’t work (which from my testing seems it does not) 
   would my best bet to easily accomplish this be searching for a plugin to do this?
   The wordpress explanation you linked seemed pretty complicated, I emphasized 
   needing to find the easiest option.
