Hi Support,

Really am enthousiastic and about the Rockwall theme!
Nevertheless I would like to extend the possibilities of the views on the homepage.

I would like to add one or more widget area's after bottom4 (Bottom IV Widgets) , as in duplicates of the bottom widget areas 1-4
(to have bottom5, bottom6, bottom 7, .... and so on )

For example, I wold like to duplicate the section with News and Features, but then with other news from the site and show them both.

Can you guide me on doing this properly?

What exact template files need to be edited to add the area's and show up in the widgets overview in my dashboard?
Many thanks in advance

Hi

I have followed the instructions (http://www.gavick.com/documentation/wor ... ess-theme/) and added new widget area's bottom 3 -> b0ttom 12.

They show in the backend, widgets can be dragged to it and the changes appear on the frontpage.
Unfortunately the layout for the new widget area's are different from what I expected.

The inserted widgets show the content from top to bottom instead from left to right.
Please see the attached image, I would like to have the FASHION section to show the content in the same as the FEATURED section

I have made changes to the following files

[/wp-content/themes/RockWall/gavern/config/en_US/widgets.json]
[/wp-content/themes/RockWall/css/template.css]
[/wp-content/themes/RockWall/layouts/after.php]

The demo website is located here; http://demo.jcschrijver.nl/

Many thanks in advance

Hello, please check your template.css file (around line 973), there's a code for floating the boxes in the bottom area, you have to add also selectors from #gk-bottom8 .box to #gk-bottom12 .box
