* Hello,
unfortunately, your “Blocks Widget” deletes a wide array of html attributes
when saving/posting code.
* As this attributes are not deleted in standard wp widgets, I assume that you
have an additional filter installed!?
* data-height=””
data-chrome=”” data-dnt=”” async=””
* It would be grat if you could allow these attributes or provide a workaround.
* Thx so much!

* Sorry, for security purpose WordPress doesn’t allow all sorts of html by default.
You can try with pasting the code in a “Text Widget” that comes with WordPress.
* Thanks

* Thank you for your reply.
* In that case, could you please provide me with the CSS workaround that allows
me to put three text widgets next to each other in the frontpage widget area?
* that’d be great!

* …just to avoid misunderstandings:
* I would like to have three _text widgets_ next to each other, underneath the
full-width _about widget_.
* Thank you so much for your support.

* Hi,
* Its not possible to add more than 4 widgets on frontpage in the Free version.
So I suggest you install a column shortcode plugin like this:
[https://wordpress.org/plugins/column-shortcodes/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/column-shortcodes/)
* and insert the 3/3 layout columns inside an Advanced Text widget.
* Thanks

* Hi,
again, thank you so much for your very kind and prompt support. This is
very much appreciated!
* For clarification: I don’t want to put more than 4 widgets on the frontpage;
just the about widget plus 3 text widgets. So, if that can be easily arranged(
e.g. via CSS), please let me know.
* Again, thank you so much & kind regards!

* Hi,
* In that case, add the text widgets and let us know your site address so we can
provide a custom css.
* Thanks

* Hi,
oh, that’s really great.
* I did as you said. An the website is this: [https://mstrautmann.de/ms/](https://mstrautmann.de/ms/)

* Try adding this custom css:
* `.frontpage_sidebar .widget_text {width: 33.3%;padding: 5%;box-sizing: border-
box; color: #666; text-align: center;}`
* However You can achieve a better look with the Blocks widget. To display the
twitter widget you can simply use twitter widget shortcode that you can get from
this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-twitter-feeds/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ai-twitter-feeds/).
* Hope this helps.
* Thanks

* Thank you very much. The CSS code snippet works.
* However, you’re right. With the Blocks widget it would look nicer, if Twitter
could be integrated nicely. But it does not really look good with the AI-twitter-
feeds plugin either (as you can see now).
* As mentioned before, it would be best, if you could embed the Twitter feed by
integrating the code Twitter provides itself: [https://publish.twitter.com/#](https://publish.twitter.com/#)
* However, in that case, I can’t control the height of the Twitter feed via HTML(
as the attribute _data -height=”600px”_ is deleted when posting
* Well anyway, I will find a way somehow.
* Thank you so much again!

* One more thing:
* I’ve used this custom CSS you’ve provided:
* .frontpage_sidebar .widget_text {width: 33.3%;padding: 5%;box-sizing: border-
box; color: #666; text-align: center;}
* That looks very nice on the desktop, but its not responsive on mobile screens.
* Is it possible that the three (or as implemented on the page: two) text widgets
are put underneath each other when viewing with small screens/mobile devices?
Does an CSS solution exists to that?
* By the way, can I donate for your theme somewhere?
* Best,
M

* Hi,
* Try adding this to your Custom CSS too:
* ```
@media screen and (max-width: 560px){{
.frontpage_sidebar .widget_text {width: 100%;padding: 3%;box-sizing: border-box; color: #666; text-align: center;}
}
```

* Hi,
that worked perfectly (I only had to remove one of the two leftbraces).
Thank you so much. Now my new website is finished.
* Keep up the great work!
* Again, if there is an option to donate some bucks, just let me know how.
* Thanks & kind regards!
