 * I love the Dark News Theme, as it’s exactly what I want for my site. If you look
   halfway down, you’ll see a standard Widget where I can use categories for posts,
   which I am using Books, Games, and Movies. I wanted to add another section with
   that same look for Comics, Music, and Table Games, but I couldn’t duplicate that
   first Widget section. Instead, I used a category carousel block option in 3 columns.
   However, it doesn’t look as nice as the first official Widget section. Any idea
   how to duplicate a theme’s widget?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadd-extra-widget-section%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
 * First off, thanks for reaching out, as the theme does not offer such functionality,
   you need to customize the theme functionality using a child theme approach. For
   that, you might need to use/hire an expert WordPress Developer/Designer.
