    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to add a sidebar on the homepage after a full width widget? So I have my header, my nav bar, then a widget area that has a full width slider but after that I would like the rest of the homepage to have other widgets to the left (like a homepage-middle, homepage-bottom) but also have a sidebar that I can add other widgets to on the right. Then stopping before getting to the footer widgets (which I would like again all the way across). Does this make sense?

    Thanks!
    Julie

    You'll need to modify 3 files:

    Your functions.php file
    Your home.php file
    Your style.css file

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. I can add widgets and know how to add a home page widget - but I guess I was looking for clarification on having a sidebar with full width widgets above and below (I guess it isn't any different than the footer above and below) and having homepage widgets to the left of the sidebar.

    Thanks!
    Julie
