</div>

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. 😕  
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](https://github.com/teakap/banner-theme-component)

 ![banners_import](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/c/5c939f7d89d8bfe1e255db41374c69f6dda7aa78.jpeg)

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.
