Word Press – adding & removing widgets

To add a widget

  1. Go to Appearance > Widgets
  2. On the left hand side, you’ll have a section in a rounded box called AVAILABLE WIDGETS. On the right hand side, you’ll have the areas where you can drag the widgets to. Each Word Press theme is different.
  3. Using the down arrow (seen below on the right hand side of each heading area), open up the area you wish to drag your widget in to. The arrows will toggle the windows open and closed as required.
  4. Now you simply choose your widget from the left hand side, click & drag it over to the right hand side, and let go.

Each widget has a different use. To customise your widget, please read the tutorial specific to that widget. If there is no tutorial written for your widget, please let us know so we can write it for you.

To remove a widget

  1. Go to Appearance > Widgets
  2. On the right hand side, use the arrow to toggle open the area your widget lives in. Use the toggle arrow on the specific widget to open it up.
  3. Click the DELETE link (above) to remove the widget
