Topic: More Widgets For Home Page

Great looking and simple theme! Thank you very much for sharing your talent.

Would love to use on a couple of sites, but need more widgets for the home page. Thinking at least option to use 6 and maybe even up to 9.

Any theme hack I can do to add extra widgets?

Thanks again,

Susan

Re: More Widgets For Home Page

Hi Susan,

You're not limited to number of widgets as long as they fall into 3 default boxes.

Once you're in Appearance > Widgets look for Home Widget 1, 2 and 3 on your right, simple drag + drop what you need there and that's all, very easy stuff.

P.S. Also see: http://themeid.com/forum/topic/509/side … anagament/

Thanks for using Responsive and for kind words,
Emil

Re: More Widgets For Home Page

Hi,

Thanks for the brilliant theme--I jumped in on this post because I followed the sticky:  "Adding multiple widgets to Responsive Theme"
http://themeid.com/forum/topic/1207/add … ive-theme/

but I get the new widgets along with the ones in the default "right sidebar" below them--here's a picturehttp://www.maui-tropica.com/graphics/sidebar-widget.jpg

I did some modifications to home.php--these are the only changes

</div><!-- end of .call-to-action -->
            <?php endif; ?>

        </div><!-- end of .col-460 -->

        <div id="featured-image" class="grid col-460 fit">

                            <?php echo do_shortcode('[responsive_slider]') ?>

                </div><!-- end of #featured-image -->

        </div><!-- end of #featured -->

<?php get_sidebar('home'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('home-widget-single'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('home-widgets-double'); ?>
<?php get_sidebar('home-widgets-triple'); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Any ideas on how to get rid of the default stuff and leave the new homepage widgets.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: More Widgets For Home Page

Remove this code.

<?php get_sidebar('home'); ?>
