[Resolved] Custom Home/Archive layout

[Mike]

Hi Support,

I’m trying to achieve a layout on the home page and archive pages resembling this rough mock – https://i.imgur.com/Bs6nhiD.png

Basically I want to split the right sidebar into two sidebars with a full width widget area between the two.

Is it possible to achieve this (or something close to it) using hooks/elements and not modifying the theme files? If the theme files need to be modified that’s okay too and I’m comfortable doing that after being pointed in the right direction.

Hoping you’ve tackled something like this before!

Thank you.

Hi there,

can’t split a sidebar, it would actually require 2 separate sidebars to do that.
Alternatively you could hook in your template for the lower part of the page.

you can create the bottom layout using a Grid Block, so the bottom sidebar is simply a grid column

Hi David,

It looks like this will work perfectly! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that. The more that I work with this theme the more impressed I am!

Thank you
