  1. Yes this is because you not init the widget area, so first make the functions.php file and write the code

    function arphabet_widgets_init() {
    
        register_sidebar( array(
            'name' => 'Home right sidebar',
            'id' => 'home_right_1',
            'before_widget' => '<div>',
            'after_widget' => '</div>',
            'before_title' => '<h2 class="rounded">',
            'after_title' => '</h2>',
        ) );
    }
    add_action( 'widgets_init', 'arphabet_widgets_init' );
    

    By this code your widget area is activated.
