Is there a way to add a NEW sidebar to the homepage

yes, it is possible.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Forum_Welcome#Include_as_Much_Information_as_Possible

I didn’t create the website, I only maintain it and have only had about 2 hours of training on how to even use wordpress. Anything that has been done by me on this site has been figured out by trial and error. The only thing I can give you is a link to the website….sorry. https://www.vacaccessories.com/

alchymyth, I just updated my Word Press version and now my sidebar doesn’t work at all. Can you refer me where to look for help on this?

@tammieh

it will need quite a bit of knowledge of WordPress, php, html, and CSS to program a new sidebar into an existing theme.

unfortunately, this is theme specific, and this forum cannot help you with your question, as you are using a commercial theme.
please contact the developer of your theme for help with your question;

If you want to use a plugin rather than creating and assigning a different sidebar to different pages manually than I would suggest that you download Custom Sidebars.

Here is the link: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-sidebars/

It is super easy to use and has a great UI so no coding is required. You simply create as many sidebars as you want in “widgets” and then assign whichever sidebar to the current post/page from within the edit screen (there will be a metabox on the bottom right of the screen).

Hope this helps!

Great!! Thanks!! ??
