One of the great things about <strong>WordPress</strong> widgets is that<br />

they require no code experience or expertise. Thanks to<br />

<strong>WordPress</strong>, they can simply be added, removed and<br />

rearranged.<br />

The actual location of widgets on your site depends on<br />

your <strong>WordPress</strong> theme. Most <strong>WordPress</strong> themes offer<br />

several different page templates that decide where<br />

widget locations are in the page design, such as in the<br />

sidebar of your blog, or at the bottom of your home page.<br />

In addition to the default <strong>WordPress</strong> widgets, <strong>WordPress</strong><br />

plugins often add their own widgets as well. Some may<br />

add additional options for customization features.<br />

To see how widgets work, log in to your <strong>WordPress</strong> site<br />

and visit the Appearance > Widgets panel. On the left<br />

side of the page, you’ll see all available widgets. Default<br />

widgets will be visible here, plus any additional widgets<br />

that have been added by your installed plugins. On the<br />

right, you’ll see all of your available widget locations.<br />

To add a widget to a location, simply drag the widget from<br />

its place on the left into the right section to activate them.<br />

To remove them, simply drag the widget back or click<br />

delete.<br />

If you ever have questions or need help using widgets,<br />

just click the help tab from the top of the screen. Here<br />
