Customizing the available regions in your theme is one of the first things you'll do when creating your own themes. Doing so gives you complete control over where content is displayed on the page, and the markup involved. Adding regions to a theme is a two-step process that involves editing your theme's THEMENAME.info.yml file and updating your page.html.twig file.

In this tutorial we'll:

  • Declare one or more new regions in our themes THEMENAME.info.yml file.
  • Output the content of those regions in our theme via the page.html.twig file.

By the end of this tutorial you should be able to add or edit the regions a theme provides. Also, you'll ensure that blocks placed into regions are displayed by outputting the regions in the page template.
