Widgets are a more advanced feature of WordPress that allow you even more control over the content on your site. In essence, widgets are small containers of content that can be placed in various areas of your site. Where you can place widgets depends entirely on the theme you are using. Many (most) themes include at least one \u201csidebar\u201d into which you can place widgets. Some themes include additional \u201cwidgetized\u201d areas. The best way to find out what areas are available to you is to go to Appearance<\/strong> > Widgets<\/strong> and take a look at the areas listed on the right. Each widgetized area will appear as a box on the right. In the example shown below, the theme contains the following widgetized areas: Sidebar, Shop Sidebar, and Footer Widget Areas along with Inactive Widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a list of the default widgets available in WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re ready to start using widgets, all you need to do is drag them from the right-hand side of the Widgets interface into the boxes on the left. WordPress will immediately save them, but you may need to set some options<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your default widgets are the same as everything offered in the Gutenberg block editor<\/a> as it uses the same interface. Installing different themes and plugins may expand this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
