There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Hi all,

Can I ask how to split right sidebar widget area to 2 widget areas? I want to split it to 2 rows: top and bottom rows.

basically like this:

top row widget area
bottom row widget area

I know we can add extra widget in header, center column or footer, but I don't know how to add it in the existing sidebars.

Actually I want to do it cos I want to add separate backgrounds for the widgets. I want the top row widgets to have transparent background and the bottom row widgets to have colored background

Thanks in advance

You could just use CSS to color the individual widgets backgrounds

well, i thought about that.
but what about if the widget is just an arbitrary text or html?

can we just use <body bgcolor="#FF0000">arbitrary text or html</body>?

sorry I'm quite new to wordpress coding so I'm not sure yet of what i'm doing

ah, now I know I can use the

<div style="background-color:#ffffff; padding: 0px;">arbitrary text or html</div>

and put it in the widget, but the problem is I want to apply the background to the widget container and not only the body

is there any way to do that?

each widget should have a unique <div id="..."> you can tag off of.

did you mean i should do it like for example this?

<div id="fb-root" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;">something something</div>

I did it in the appearance=>widget, and still doesn't work. Am I wrong?

now I can create the new widget area already using some silly html codes. but I still don't know how to change the style for the widget area, since atahualpa's widget style applies for every widget areas.
even though I create a new widget area, that widget area will still be affected by the atahualpa's widget area style

does anybody know how to change the style for each widget areas?

this is a very great and highly customizable theme. love it!

as always, thanks in advance
