Features of Widget in Word press

Widgets in WordPress allow you to add content and features in the widgetized areas of your theme.

These widget-ready areas can be in the header, footer, sidebar, below content and basically any other area in your theme.

The available widget areas that you have in your theme will vary from theme to theme.

Most Word Press themes are widget ready and have multiple widget areas. However themes are NOT required to have widget areas.

If you do not see any widget areas, then it means that your theme does not support widgets.

There are many different types of widgets. Word Press by default comes with several widgets including categories, tag cloud, navigation menu, calendar, search, recent posts etc.

If you drag the recent posts widget in a widget area, then it will contain a list of recent posts.

Widgets are mostly standalone areas of code that perform a certain function.
