Few of the important widget areas are:
Header Right: This widget area is flexible to widgets like search bar, social icons, text widget, or a small custom menu. If it’s left blank, then it won’t effect the header. However, the logo and tagline will display in the center.
Sidebar: There are two sidebar widget areas. These widget areas will function according to the number of columns you choose in the website layout. If your layout supports single or double sidebars, then it will display the widgets accordingly. By default, the primary sidebar widget area will display the widgets on a two column layout.
Home: There are 4 widget areas for the homepage section. These widget areas will make the set up simple. You just need to add the widgets for each section of the homepage.
