Hello, I want to add two columns (left and right) of the main-outlet, in order to use them as banners. From what I understood already I can add new html code easily in the plugin-outlets space.

It probably is the solution. Although, I haven’t been able to make it work yet. Can’t understand what you mean or how would I use the existing html widget. :confused: So, I decided to create my own widget that would create the two banners and add them on the sides. I created a widget: https://github.com/teakap/banner-theme-component [banners_import] It’s loaded, and I added as a widget to the layout setting but still I am not seeing the widget’s html on the page.

Great that you have delved in! Always, always have your Browser console open when debugging javascript. This is what I get: [image] You are missing an import statement: import { h } from 'virtual-dom'; That then fixes it: [image] Note you should code it like this, though or your class name will show (like it does above): h ("span.some-banner-class", "my text"): [image] [image] Keep going! :slight_smile:
