About the Author Widget
Adds an "About the Author" sidebar widget that shows the current post author's photo, bio and a link to their other posts, and hides itself on other pages.
Snippet Library
WordPress code snippets, ready to use
3,040 free snippets from the WPIDE team and the community. Copy the code, or add any snippet to your site in one click with WPIDE.
Archives List Shortcode
Adds an [archives] shortcode that lists your posts by month or year, as a list or a dropdown, anywhere in content or widgets.
Archives Widget: Yearly Links and a Limit
Changes the classic Archives widget to list years instead of months and caps how many entries it shows, keeping the sidebar short on old blogs.
Button Shortcode
Adds a [button] shortcode that turns a link into a styled button using your theme's button styles, for calls to action inside classic content and widgets.
Cache Public REST API Responses for Visitors
Stores the responses of public GET requests to the REST API (such as post lists used by headless front ends and block widgets) for a few minutes for logged-out visitors, and clears the cache when content changes.
Categories Widget: Top Level Only, Busiest First
Makes the Categories widget list only top-level categories and sorts them by number of posts, so a long category tree becomes a short list of your main sections.
Clear WP Rocket When Site Settings Change
Clears WP Rocket's whole-site cache when you save the Customizer, change menus or edit widgets, so header, footer and sidebar changes show up immediately.
Collapsible Sidebar Widgets on Phones
Folds sidebar and footer widgets into tap-to-open sections on small screens, so visitors reach the content and footer without scrolling past long widget lists.
Contact Details Widget
Adds a "Contact Details" widget for your address, phone number, email and opening hours, with tap-to-call and spam-protected email links.
Custom CSS Classes for Widgets
Adds a "CSS classes" field to every classic widget, so you can style individual widgets from your theme or a CSS snippet.
Custom Elementor Widget: Notice Box
Adds a simple "Notice Box" widget to Elementor with a title, text and four styles (info, success, warning, error), in its own "Site Widgets" panel category.
Default Dashboard Layout for New Users
Gives every user who has never arranged their dashboard the same widget order and columns you choose, so clients see the most useful widgets first.
Delay Third-Party Scripts Until the Visitor Interacts
Holds back the scripts you list (chat widgets, heatmaps, social widgets) until the visitor first scrolls, taps, clicks or presses a key, or after a timeout, so they no longer slow down the initial page load.
Disable the Block Editor
Uses the classic editor for all posts and pages instead of the block editor. The block-based widgets screen is not affected.
EDD Cart Link With Item Count Shortcode
Adds a [wpide_edd_cart] shortcode that prints a "Cart (2)" link to the Easy Digital Downloads checkout, for headers, menus or widgets.
Elementor Posts Query: Exclude the Current Post
Adds a custom query ID "wpide_exclude_current" for Elementor Pro's Posts and Loop Grid widgets that leaves out the post being viewed, ideal for "More articles" sections.
Elementor Posts Query: Random Order
Adds a custom query ID "wpide_random" that shows posts in random order in Elementor Pro's Posts and Loop Grid widgets, for testimonials, team members or featured products.
Elementor Template Shortcode for the Free Version
Adds a [wpide_elementor_template id="123"] shortcode that shows any saved Elementor template inside posts, widgets or other builders, without Elementor Pro.
Even Font Sizes in the Tag Cloud
Limits the tag cloud to 30 tags with font sizes between 12 and 18 pixels, so it looks tidy in narrow sidebars.
Exclude Categories From the Categories Widget
Hides chosen categories from the classic Categories widget list or dropdown.
Exclude a Category From the Recent Posts Widget
Keeps posts from the categories you choose out of the classic Recent Posts widget, for example sponsored posts or internal news.
Featured Post Widget
Adds a "Featured Post" widget that highlights one post or page you pick, shown as a card with its featured image, excerpt and a read-more link.
Filters Widget Area Above the Shop
Registers a "Shop Filters" widget area and shows it above the product grid on shop and category pages, a natural home for price, attribute and rating filters.
Flush W3 Total Cache After Design Changes
Flushes all W3 Total Cache caches when the Customizer, menus or widgets are saved, so site-wide changes are visible straight away.
