Widget and Sidebar Customizer for WordPress

Customize the Sidebar From the Dashboard

You can also edit the sidebar from the WordPress Dashboard.

In the left-hand menu, select Appearance > Widgets, find the Sidebar section, and then give it a click to expand. You should now be able to see all the widgets that make up this particular sidebar.

From here, you can make the following changes:

• Rearrange your widgets. You can change the order these widgets appear in the sidebar, using drag and drop.
• Change a widget’s title. Click to expand the widget’s corresponding section, edit the title text as required, and then click Done.
• Delete a widget. Click to expand the widget’s corresponding section, and then give the Delete link a click.
• Add a widget. In the Available Widgets section, find the widget that you want to add to the sidebar, and then drag and drop it onto the Sidebar section. Note that wherever you drop the widget is where it’ll appear in the sidebar.

Want More Widgets?

Your WordPress account comes with a number of built-in widgets, but you can access even more widgets by installing WordPress plugins.
