A WordPress widget is a small, independent component that allows users to add specific features or content to their website’s sidebar or footer areas.
Think of it as a tool to easily display extra information, like recent posts, a search bar, or social media links, without needing to write any code.
Where You Find Them
Widgets can be accessed through the WordPress dashboard under the “Appearance” > “Widgets” section. Here, you can drag and drop widgets into different areas of your site, depending on your theme’s design.
Customization
Many widgets come with settings that you can tweak to match your site’s needs, making them a flexible and user-friendly option for enhancing your website.
