    Hello,

    Short of experience gained over time using the various StudioPress themes I have not found a good way to find what I am looking for. The "sort by" filters at the top of the Premium WordPress Themes page are useful, but are not narrowing down the choices any. I came across the genesis club theme chooser and tried that, but again I have not found what I am looking for.

    So I thought I'd ask the community for a little help to get pointed it the right direction

    What I am looking for is a theme that has a template for pages with single page layout supporting multiple widget areas in the same way as many themes seem to have on their Front page.

    For an example, the Parallax Pro theme. If you activate the theme, open customize, navigate to Widgets you find Header Right, Home Section 1, Home Section 2, Home Section 3, Home Section 4, Home Section 5, and Footer 1. These Home Section widget areas span the entire width of the page.

    I would like to find a theme that has the same or similar widget layout, but that can be selected as the Template under the Pages section.

    Anyone know of a theme that already has support for this? I have tried modifying Parallax Pro with a custom page template, and it works well on desktop display sizes, but breaks down on smaller screens. I'd like to try a theme that already supports this to see if it makes a difference.

    Thanks,

    Rick Stewart

    Warm regards,

    I don't know of any Studio Press themes that has this out of the box. Normally when people want widgets on an inner page, the copy front-page.php and create a new page template. Your have to rename a the widget areas and such. The mobile is probably breaking down with what you did in Parallax Pro because there isn't any additional media query CSS to support the new template.

    Hi Victor, thanks for the reply. I had the same thought about the media queries. I am surprised however about the lack of themes with support for a more complex widget structure for inner pages. It seems to me this would be a feature you would use all the time.

    Warm regards,
