Cannot add extra widget area on home page

[rogerp]

I am trying to add an extra widget on the home page, which I managed to do one but cannot get a second one to work. the one I can't get to work is front-page-4-a

functions.php

//* Add Front Page Template widget areas
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'front-page-1',
'name' => __( 'Front Page 1', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
'description' => __( 'The first section on the front page.', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
));
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'front-page-2',
'name' => __( 'Front Page 2', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
'description' => __( 'The second section on the front page.', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
));
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'front-page-3-a',
'name' => __( 'Front Page 3 - Top', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
'description' => __( 'The top half of the third section on the front page.', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
));
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'front-page-3-aa',
'name' => __( 'Front Page 3 - Top2', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
'description' => __( 'The first section on the front page.', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
));
genesis_register_sidebar( array(
'id' => 'front-page-4-a',
'name' => __( 'Front Page 4 Top', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),
'description' => __( 'The fourth section on the front page.', 'smart-passive-income-pro' ),

front-page.php

//* Function to initiate widgetized page render
add_action( 'genesis_meta', 'spi_front_page_init' );
function spi_front_page_init() {

if ( is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-1' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-2' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-3-a' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-3-aa' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-4-a' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-3-b' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'front-page-4' ) ) {

I just want to duplicate a widget area on the home page -

It shows in the widget area and I can drag widgets into it but they do not render on the home page?

Thanks

I have found the problem, I had not added the extra code to

front-page.php

//* Function to output active widget areas
function spi_home_widget_loop() {

Extra widget is working now
