A widget enhances your website by incorporating content and features into a designated widget area, often referred to as a sidebar. These widget areas offer users a means to personalize their website. Widget areas can be present on multiple pages or limited to just one. Depending on your theme, you may have a single widget area or multiple ones.
You can easily configure these widgets by navigating to the “Widgets” menu under “Appearance” > “Customize.” The changes you make can be instantly previewed in the live Customizer view.
Available Sidebar options will be given on your Widgets screen.
Adding a Widget
- Select any sidebar or Widget area to open it.
- Click the + Add a widget at the bottom of the Widget Areas to open the list of available widgets.
- Search or find the block you want to add and click to select the block. The block is added to the widget area.
- Preview your site, and you should see the new block in your Widget area.
Configuring the Widgets
You can reorder or rearrange the widget by clicking and holding the widget in the Block toolbar and dragging the Widget blocks.
