 * Can I add another widget space to Top 1, 2, etc.? I’d like to have 5 or 6 boxes
   there.

 * You would have to switch to using a child theme and then modify a few theme files
   because you will need to change the structure of it. I will be honest, this one
   would be a little involved and you will need to be comfortable with modifying
   code.
 * Because this theme uses Bootstrap for its structure layout, you wouldn’t be able
   to code in 5 sidebars, but you could do 6.

 * Thank you for the quick response. I think it will be better for me to keep things
   the way they are and design around the template. I am not proficient enough to
   make those kinds of changes in the timeline I have. I appreciate your help tho!

 * You’re welcome…also sorry for giving the bad news about that kind of custom change
   would require a fair amount of work. If you don’t mind me asking, what were you
   wanting to put into the 6-spots?
 * As a side note, if I get more requests for 6 widget positions side-by-side, I
   would of course consider it in new themes.

 * No worries! I just thought if it could be done easily, I’d do it. I’m wanting
   to list our services in those 6 spots instead of having them in the menu at the
   top or in a drop down menu. I am going to group our services differently for 
   this particular project tho.
 * Thanks again!

 * One possibility is to use one of those sidebar positions, then using a text widget,
   create your own HTML column layout (6). That would work. In fact, you could use
   the bootstrap structure for a responsive layout…something like this:
 *     ```
       <div class="row">
       <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-lg-2">Your content</div>
       <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-lg-2">Your content</div>
       <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-lg-2">Your content</div>
       <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-lg-2">Your content</div>
       <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-lg-2">Your content</div>
       <div class="col-xs-12 col-md-4 col-lg-2">Your content</div>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * Basically what that code does is give you 6 columns in large view, then on smaller
   screen, it becomes 3 columns, then on even smaller screens like phones, your 
   columns become 1 per row. This theme uses the bootstrap column grid layout of
   12 columns across.
 * col-lg-2 = 6 column layout in your page (6 into 12 = 2…hence col-lg-2)
    col-md-
   4 = 3 column layout (4 into 12 = 3…hence col-md-4) col-xs-12 = 1 column layout
   per row (12 into 12 = 1)
 * The thing is though, having 6 columns is a bit tight in the content width this
   theme uses, especially when someone views your page in a smaller device screen.
   If your 6 columns don’t wrap, they will get very tiny in width, but at the least,
   using the bootstrap column method above, as the screen gets smaller, your columns
   will wrap and each one won’t be squeezed too small.

 * Thank you for suggesting this option. I will see how that works!
