[Support request] Custom Widget Areas

[nszumowski]

Hey folks,

More of a feature request, apologies if I’m posting this in the wrong place!

Maybe I’m being lazy, I usually create a few widget areas in my child themes for clients with https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes, but wondering if there is a future in GPP for custom widget areas?

Would love to be able to flip a switch in GPP settings and, for example, enable a “Before Main Content” widget area, similar to where your hooks are – https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-visual-guide/

Thanks for listening! 😃

Hi there,

We’ve considered adding an option in Hooks to activate a widget area. However, you can imagine what a mess that could be if people overdid it..

Instead, I would suggest just registering your widget area normally, then calling it inside the hook.

Not exactly a flipped switch, but it’ll work for now 🙂

Appreciate the feedback!
