Is it possible to add a 4 column option for exporting to Wordpress themes in the next release?

Thanks.

It is currently not possible in Artisteer to have four column layout, but you can do it manually editing your style.css. You can copy code from one of your sidebar may be sidebar1.php, create new file name it sidebar4.php paste the code in it and call it in your index.php where you want it as following:

</div>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar4.php'); ?>
</div>

You also need to edit your css accordingly to align new sidebar properly.

Hi Gary,
If i follow your instruction above and copy all the code of sidebar1 and the style, like color, text, etc is similar.
But I like change the created sidebar4 in white color.

Hope you get what i mean.

First of all there's a whole lot more to adding another sidebar than just dropping a bit of code in the page. And it's not necessarily a job for the faint of heart because it takes a bit of thought, planning and probably some hair pulling to get it right.

You need to define some new CSS rules that uniquely position and style the sidebar. You also need to adjust the size of all the other elements that will be affected by the new sidebar.

What kind of sidebar do you want? It doesn't have to be vertical. It can be horizontal or nested with another sidebar or in the footer. It can be anywhere you want it to be. In reality it shouldn't be called a sidebar but a widgetized area or block.

You also need to modify the functions.php file to let WP recognize the new sidebar otherwise you won't be able to place any widgets in your new sidebar.

Just add a new class in your new sidebar div and assign different color etc to it in your style sheet.
