    How do you use the custom widget area to add a new widget? I entered a descriptive name and clicked on Add Widget Area and placed a widget in it but nothing happened. I looked to see if there was a video on how to use it but there isn’t.

    When you stop laughing can you help a guy out? ;-)

    Thanks!

    Hi American Patriot,

    Each widget area is a container for widgets to be dropped into. So when you create a new one it allows for widgets to be added to it but it doesn’t get automatically output anywhere on the front end of your site.

    So you’ll need to add an output for that new widget area using the Advanced Layout Editor or from the Layout meta box on the right hand side of your page choose a sidebar layout and then choose that widget area to be displayed for that sidebar.

    Regards,

    Devin

    Well, would you look at that? It works just like you said Devin. If that ain’t the coolest, most easy way to add a custom widget then I don’t know what is.

    Thanks!!

    Glad I could help. Now that 3.6 is out I’ll be able to do another round of videos and hopefully finish up the new documentation for Enfold as well so these kinds of things are better explained :)

    Regards,
