Note: If you are building a new site and have gone through the Widget Import step, these widgets will already be in place. We do recommend that you go through this tutorial to become familiar with the placement, format and capabilities of these widgets.
The home page is comprised of 6 widget areas:
- Front Page 1
- Front Page 2
- Front Page 3
- Front Page 4
- Front Page 5
- Front Page 6
These widget areas can be found by navigating to Appearance > Widgets.
Here is an overview of the Home Page widget areas and what widgets can go in them.
All Front Page widget areas are flexible. The first widget extends full width across the page. These widget areas can be customized with a variety of widgets including Genesis Featured Posts, Genesis Featured Pages, Genesis Responsive Slider, Soliloquy Slider, Text, Custom HTML widgets for Rewards Style or Amazon affiliate codes, as well as ads. Widgets will resize automatically depending on the number of widgets in that particular section.
