    Hi there.
    The majority of my web pages will require a block of text set to the left and a Nextgen Gallery to the right. Is it possible to achieve this in the Fullwidth template of the Squirrel Theme? I'd be gratefulfor any pointers.....

    Many thanks

    1. Install Nextgen gallery.
    2. Select fullwidth template.
    3. Add Two Columns shortcode in Fullwidth page, Take column short code from link given below

    4.Add gallery short code in first column and your text in second column.

    This will solve your issue.

    Thanks Gourav. I'm trying to create a simple workaround to this as possible. I can divide my page up by using the default page template which gives me a right aligned sidebar into which I can place my Nextgen gallery widget, with my text area set to the left.

    I'm now trying to add an additional sidebar to give more functionality to the page. I've researched this but not sure which pages I should be adding the additional code to. Do you have a simple set of instructions?

    Many thanks

    There is no need of additional sidebar, You can add multiple widgets in the primary and secondary widget area.

    Hi Gourav, how do I get the primary and secondary widget area to sit side by side? At present, one is on top of the other.
    Many thanks.
