How to Add Widget Area for Homepage?

  • Hello,

    I am creating a new WordPress theme, I have created a new custom widget called “Our Service” by extending the WP widget class, this custom widget has title and paragraph inputs.

    I want to add a widget area on the homepage of the theme (index.php) to display this custom widget. So if a client wants to add a new service, they can just use “Our Service” widget in WordPress customizer (on the homepage).

    So now, how to add widget area for “Our Services” for the homepage?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply. I am using the following code to show the custom widget on homepage.

    <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar("Name of Widgetized Area") ) : ?>
<?php endif;?>

    It is working fine, how to show clip (edit icon for the widget) for every widget in the WordPress customizer?
