      Hi there,

      I want to add a widget area below the slider to display my subscription box on http://www.trishjones.com/changeworksmedia to appear on all pages, not just the home page.

      Tamala (http://www.wpwebsitesdone4u.com) has done a great job on her site but using a plugin which, I’d prefer to avoid.

      I’m not pro at coding but not a complete novice either. Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks,

      Trish

        The easiest way is to just copy the Welcome widget code in your home.php then rename it to something different, then do the same thing in your functions.php file when registering the widget at the bottom.

        When you copy the welcome widget, make sure and place it in the order that you want it to appear.

          Really appreciate your input Kronos and it certainly allowed me to add another area. However, what I wanted was for the new widget area to be totally separate to the welcome area so I can change the background colours, the padding, margin etc.

          If anyone has any suggestions it would be most appreciated.

          Thanks,

          Trish

            If you take a look at the home.php file in the Welcome area, can you see and understand how everything is setup? Do you see how the div containers wrap around the widgets? If so, then you just need to place it inside of its own div. You may need to also add a custom class for it as well.

            It’s a mix of php and html, so if you’re not familiar with with the basics of either one then it will probably look confusing. I assume you’re pretty good with HTML/CSS from looking at your site…..but let me know if you need more assistance.
