How create another widget area on front-page, after blog-entries?

[Dan-cer]

Hi there,
with the help of Brad and others I got some widget areas on my frontpage already.
They are

• 'Home - Top',
• 'Home - Middle',
• 'Home - Bottom Left' and
• 'Home - Bottom Right'.

The last two of them are containing the recent blog-post excerpts.

Now I want to have another widget area below. I tried to name them 'Home - Bottom', writing code into front-page.php, functions.php and style.css.

But that doesn't work, because 'Home Bottom' is the class for the existing 'Bottom Left and Right', I suppose.

How can I solve this? What suggestions you have?

Thank you in advance!

warm regards,

Rainer

I don't really need 'Home - Middle'. Is it possible to change it to
'Home - Middle Left' and 'Home - Middle Right'?
So I could move the post-excerpts to the Middle and use the Bottom area - without 'Left' and 'Right' for any widgets.

Update:
I just created 'Home - Middle Left' and 'Home - Middle Right' widget areas with

.home-middle-left,
.home-middle-right {
	margin: 0 0%;
	width: 50%;
}

as I had it for the Bottom Left/Right version. In general it is working already as I want, but the two columns are not created yet. I thought 'width: 50%;' will do it as it does with th Bottom version.

UPDATE 2:

I coded it correctly. But purging cache on CDN server level was needed.
So all is fine now.

Have a nice week!!!

UPDATE 3:

There still is 1 problem: The 'home-bottom widget-area' doesn't work properly. A widget is visible only when I give it a content-box additionally, and it is not width: 100%, but only placed in a right column.

It is strange somehow, because columns should only exist in 'Home - Middle Left | Right' widget-area, not below in 'Home - Bottom'.

Has anybody a suggestion how to solve that?

Update 4:

The last problems were caused by cache from cloudflare. Now all is fine.
