 * Hi!
 * I’m just wondering why does my site look like this when I’m doing the live preview
   and not like the one on the demo?

 * Hello [@diceanddpads](https://wordpress.org/support/users/diceanddpads/)
 * I think you missed the setting of HomePage Widget Sections. So please follow 
   the instructions from here
    [https://docs.codevibrant.com/news-vibrant/#!/homepage_widget_sections](https://docs.codevibrant.com/news-vibrant/#!/homepage_widget_sections)
 * Thanks,

 * Hi!
 * Thanks for the link to the instructions. I seem to be missing 6 widget areas,
   which I believe are the locations where I have to place the widgets to mimic 
   the demo format. At first I figured it might be due to my homepage settings but
   creating a static one as well as using the latest post options still doesn’t 
   reveal the missing widget areas. Thank you!

 * I seem to not have that template. Are page templates Theme-based? If so, does
   that mean I must first activate this Theme in order for me to check that template
   on my pages? I currently only have Default and Full-Width on my page templates.
 * So far, I’ve only tried live preview for the theme since my site is already active.
 * Thank you for the quick response!
