What are WordPress Widgets?

Widgets are blocks of content that you can add to your WordPress site’s sidebars, footers, and other areas.

A widget can add a feature or function to your site, without having to write any code. Common widgets to add to your site are menus, popular post lists, calendars, banner ads, social icons, and more.

Where you can add these widgets on your site depends on your WordPress theme. Many themes have sidebar and footer widget areas. Some also allow you to place widgets in the header, homepage, or other areas of your site.
