Few days ago, we rolled out an update and introduced a few new header layouts. One of the hidden gem of the update was we made Astra ? widget ready!
Check out this video to get a better idea –
Since there are tons of of plugins that extend the built-in widgets in WordPress and as they can be added in various parts of Astra such as headers, footer: you now have a more freedom than ever to design your theme parts!
Cheers!
great feature. Can widgets be added to the footer? I would love to be able to set the footer to have 2, 3, or 4 columns and put in text, html, or widgets.
Great starter theme – congrats!!
Hi Rich, Thank you for the compliments. As for your question: more widget areas in the footer would be included as a part of premium addon package for Astra. If you have not yet in our Facebook group, I would encourage you to join so you will know when it’s launched.
Hello. Would you consider adding widget support for the body? I’d like to add a small banner right above my blog posts and there’s no way I can do it without editing ‘index.php’. Problem is, every time there’s an Astra update, I have to copy/paste the banner code.
Thanks in advance.
