switching widget sections

[happy2bnmarketing]

I have the lifestyle theme and I want to make the middle widget section be after the bottom left and bottom right.

I"m a bit scared of messing with Php, so looking for some reassurance first, that it's worth moving them and that even if I screw it up, I can fix it... right???

So, it seems logically to me (but I really just learn as I go and don't understand php at all) that I could just move these around in the functions file. Is that correct? Or am I totally missing how this all works. I figured swapping order on the page and maybe an instruction or to... though now that I'm looking at the code, I'm thinking there's more to it.

genesis_widget_area( 'home-middle', array(
'before' => '<div class="home-middle widget-area">',
'after' => '</div>',

search this function "lifestyle_homepage_widgets" in your front-page.php file. Then replace the function by following code:

function lifestyle_homepage_widgets() {

	genesis_widget_area( 'home-top', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-top widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );
	
	if ( is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-left' ) || is_active_sidebar( 'home-bottom-right' ) ) {

		echo '<div class="home-bottom">';

		genesis_widget_area( 'home-bottom-left', array(
			'before' => '<div class="home-bottom-left widget-area">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
		) );

		genesis_widget_area( 'home-bottom-right', array(
			'before' => '<div class="home-bottom-right widget-area">',
			'after'  => '</div>',
		) );

		echo '</div>';
	
	}
  
  genesis_widget_area( 'home-middle', array(
		'before' => '<div class="home-middle widget-area">',
		'after'  => '</div>',
	) );

}

Thank you so much for the fast reply! I double checked and have the copy right, but is there something else I need to do? Maybe div class settings too?

It's showing up in between the left and right now, sort of.

FYI if anyone comes across this for reference. I contacted support and they gave me this code to add to my style.css and it fixed the problem along with the above code from genwrok. Thanks!

Just add the following in your child theme's style.css:

.home-bottom {
overflow: hidden;
}
