In WordPress, widgets are used to add content and functionality to a website’s sidebar, footer, or other widgetized areas, such as the homepage or custom page templates. Users can choose from a variety of pre-designed widgets or create their own using code or a widget builder plugin.
Some examples of WordPress widgets include:
- Text widget: Allows users to add text or HTML code to a widget area, which can be used to display custom content, images, links, or buttons.
- Recent posts widget: Displays a list of the website’s most recent blog posts, along with their titles and publication dates.
- Categories widget: Displays a list of the website’s blog post categories, which users can click on to view all posts within a specific category.
- Search widget: Provides a search bar that users can use to search for specific content on the website.
