Widgets are configurable elements used to dynamically build sections of a WordPress theme.
Widgets are configurable elements used to dynamically build sections of a WordPress theme without writing any custom code. They are most commonly used in the sidebar, but have also been used to build dynamic header, footer, and featured content sections. There is even a plug-in specifically designed to allow the use of widgets within WordPress pages.
Widgets are built with an extensible API that allows for any one widget to be used multiple times on the same site.
