Genesis - What are flexible widgets?
In our retired Genesis themes, the homepage layout is built with widget areas. You'll recognize the widget areas by their numbered names: Front Page 1, Front Page 2, Front Page 3, and so on.
Each widget area is "flexible," which means that the widget area changes layout depending on how many widgets are inside that area! Here's how it works:
- 1 widget inside a widget area = 1 column
- 2 widgets inside a widget area = 2 columns
- 3 widgets inside a widget area = 3 columns
- 4 widgets inside a widget area = 1 full width column + 3 columns
- 5 widgets inside a widget area = 2 columns + 2 columns + 1 full width column
- 6 widgets inside a widget area = 3 columns + 3 columns
- And so on!
This flexible widgets feature allows for the unique column layouts you see on the homepage.
