Adding home-middle widgets

[EmLY14]

Hi

I am using the corporate theme for a new site, this comes as standard with three home-middle widgets. I would really like to display five on the home page.

Has anyone done this before and would be happy to share the code with me or could you help by talking me through it as I am aware I will need to tinker with the functions.php, home.php and then the style.css files.

Thank you in advance.

Can you upload the code of home.php file at pastebin.com and share the new pastebin link here?

Thank you for sharing the code. I am creating the code for you. Please add the following code in your functions.php file. Creating two new widgets area

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'            => 'home-middle-4',
    'name'          => __( 'Home Middle #4', 'corporate' ),
    'description'   => __( 'This is a widget area that can be shown on Home Page', 'corporate' ),
) );

genesis_register_sidebar( array(
    'id'            => 'home-middle-5',
    'name'          => __( 'Home Middle #5', 'corporate' ),
    'description'   => __( 'This is a widget area that can be shown on Home Page', 'corporate' ),
) );

Also you will modify the home page code. Copy the code from here http://pastebin.com/2KLKDJRz.

Now you'll need to adjust the CSS. Can you share your site link after adding the content of 4th and 5th widget?

You can replace old CSS by this new one

.home-middle-1,
.home-middle-2,
.home-middle-3,
.home-middle-4,
.home-middle-5{
    float: left;
    padding: 0;
    width: 17.8889%;
}

.home-middle-2,
.home-middle-3,
.home-middle-4,
.home-middle-5{
  margin-left: 2.5%
}
