I tried adding basement left and right widget areas to Digital Pro and they show up in the widgets section of the dashboard but the widgets I put in those areas don't show up on the home page. I also tried adding a fourth widget area by copying the third widget area's code (front-page.php, functions.php, and css) and making the appropriate changes. That also did not work. Is there some limitation for the number of home page widget areas? Thanks!

I found the problem. I had a capital letter in the widget id. Sorry for the noise. Sysadmin - delete this if you can. Thanks.

I've never tried to add a widget area and am curious how you did this, as I'd like another section on the home page. So "copying the third widget area's code (front-page.php, functions.php, and css)" is how it's done?

Thanks for any help/insight/links you have to share!
