Reply To: Moving the Order of the Widgets Please…

Question, are you planning on using widgets 5 – 8? If not, then you wouldn’t need to move any widgets around, all you would need to do is leave them empty and the 9th widget will show up directly after widget 4.

If you are planning to use those widgets, then yes you can go into your home.php file and move the widgets around. Each widget is located in the order it appears. This will take some basic PHP knowledge to do since PHP is very sensitive. One small error or typo in PHP Code could cause your site to go down. So also make sure you’re using FTP to edit your PHP files just in case that happens. If it does happen and you’re using FTP then you can Undo and revert back to instantly fix the error/typo. If you make a mistake editing a PHP file using the WordPress Admin, then a blank white screen will show up and there is no way to revert back or login to fix the issue. Thats why developers use FTP and a HTML/CSS editor to sync with it edit their files with.
