    Hello, I am trying to duplicate the "Features" widget area below the Home Statement widget area/above the Portfolio area.

    I updated the home-page.php file to include a Features-2 section.

    Did not see where to add reference to the new widget area in the functions.php & style.css files so not sure if those changes apply to this theme.

    Not sure what I have missed.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    The Hello Pro theme developer moved the widget area setup out of functions.php into its own file. The file is in the theme's lib directory. It's called widget-setup.php. This is where you have to define the widget area before it can be displayed in front-page.php.

    Thank you. Got it, for anyone working on Hello Pro I udpated the following files:
    - widget-setup.php file (in lib folder)
    - front-page.php
    - front-page.css

    Thank you @Victor Font.
