    Can anyone help, I’m trying to add the option to allow the custom html feature that can be used in the admin panel of wordpress. When I select the customize option for the theme I’m able to select the different areas to customize, but the custom html feature does not appear as an option. Do I need to register this feature in the functions.php page before it’s usable in my theme?

    I’m not familiar with a standard Custom HTML feature in WordPress. There is a Custom HTML widget. Is that what you’re referring to? Or did a previous theme you used have this feature?

    Sorry, yes it is the Custom HTML widget. The only options I’m seeing in the admin under my custom theme are my different menu options, but I’d like to be able to add the widgets.

    You need to register widget areas using register_sidebar() and then use the dynamic_sidebar() template tag to output widgets assigned to that widget area.
