    Hi

    I am using the Outreach Theme for a website:

    http://amarooblondes.com/

    Essentially, I would like to create an additional widget area under the 'Home Featured' widget which is 650px wide AND also have the Primary Sidebar show on the Home Page next to the new widget (under Home Featured).

    I am familiar with creating new widget areas - but have never done it to include having the Primary Sidebar show on the Home Page as well.

    Would appreciate help 🙂 Thank you

    Let me ask this first - is there any particular reason why you aren't using the original home page to accomplish this? If you are building a new home page, you should create a new file - maybe call it front-page.php and customize your home page. You could copy the home page, rename it front-page and customize that to what you need.

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