Adding Widgets

Reach supports six widget areas:

• Default sidebar: Displayed on pages and posts in the right column.
• Campaign sidebar: Displayed on individual campaign pages in the right column.
• Campaign below content: Displayed on individual campaign pages in the main column underneath the content, but before the comments area.
• Footer left: Displayed site-wide in the footer. Multiple widgets are added below each other, on the left side of the footer.
• Footer right: Displayed site-wide in the footer. Multiple widgets are added alongside each other in rows of three, on the right side of the footer.

To manage your widget areas:

1. Log into your WordPress dashboard and go to Appearance > Customize.*
2. Open the Widgets tab.
3. You will see widget areas displayed that match the current live preview.

4. Select the widget area you want to edit. In this example, I have chosen the Campaign sidebar widget area:

   

5. Click Add a Widget to add a new widget. You can also click an existing widget to edit its settings.
