    Hi, How I can duplicate the "Home middle left" and "Home middle right" widget area? Simply "copy and paste" the codes in functions.php file?

     

    Thanks

    That won't work because they need unique i.d's

    You can copy them in the functions.php, home.php file and the style.css files but change the i.d's in all files so they are unique including the css selectors.

    Example:

    'id'			=> 'home-middle-left-2',
    'id'			=> 'home-middle-right-2',
    
    .home-middle-left-2 {
    	float: left;
    	width: 290px;
    }
    
    .home-middle-right-2 {
    	float: right;
    	width: 285px;
    }
    

    Tested locally and works.

    You could simply add more than one widget to each of the default home widgets.
