    Hello,

    How do you register a widget area that will allow a featured page to be displayed the width of the screen?

    On my site acsdentrepair.ca there are two featured pages that are posted under the image on the homepage: 1) Paintless Dent Repair Toronto 2) Frequently Asked Questions

    The call to action follows the two pages. I would like to split the two feature pages apart with the call to action banner.

    If I add the featured page to the home-middle widget it gets split into three columns.

    I figure the easiest way to accomplish this is to register a widget that displays the featured page content the same way it is already being displayed-which is the full width of the screen.

    Currently, the featured pages are in the home slider widget because the home-top widget also splits content into three columns.

    Tghanks,

    Christian

    The way Executive Pro was created, you wouldn't be able to create a new widget to be inserted in the home page. In the front-page.php file, copy one of the widget areas and past it where you want it, rename it. Then in functions copy that widget and give it the name you put in the functions file.

    Need help with customization or troubleshooting? Reach out to me.
