I have a problem in Sharepoint 2013.

I'm using Designer 2013 and I'm trying to add another web part zone. As you can see from the picture, there is a web part zone to the left. I know how to decrease the width of the web part zone, so there's space for another. But I don't know, how to actually add a new web part zone.

Designer 2013 doesn't have design view.
Does anyone know how I could add a web part zone to the right this time?

Thanks in advance.

The problem

You can add it manually if that "Web Part Zone" button is greyed out in SP Designer:

<%@Register Tagprefix="WebPartPages" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%>


<WebPartPages:SPWebPartManager id="m" runat="Server"/>
<div data-name="WebPartZone">
    <div xmlns:ie="ie">
        <WebPartPages:WebPartZone runat="server" ID="x0e5f5212505f48a9aac43df13eeae4f9" AllowCustomization="True" AllowPersonalization="False" FrameType="TitleBarOnly" LockLayout="True" Orientation="Vertical">
            <ZoneTemplate>
               <!--DC: Replace this comment with default web parts for new pages. -->
            </ZoneTemplate>
        </WebPartPages:WebPartZone>
    </div>
</div>

    @GennadyG The background isn't bad, but, as a caveat, if you go to that other link, they have a lot of unnecessary instructions and is why I didn't copy that stuff and reference it, before - like doing stuff with the Snippet Gallery and replacing divs. You literally *only* want to add what I have above directly into whatever page you are on. It will literally create a WebPartZone wherever you place the `
    ...
    ` and you can then use the "Add a Web Part" button to add your web part from there.     – vapcguy May 23 '18 at 05:26

Open Designer -> sitepages-> add webpart page from the top of the ribbon -> Edit the page -> see it is saved -> if saved means-> top of ribbon click on Insert-> addWebpartzone option is available.
