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
Widgets snippets for WordPress
Snippets for widgets and sidebars: restore the classic widget screen, register new widget areas, remove default widgets and allow shortcodes in text widgets. For classic themes and sites that still lean on sidebars.
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.
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.
Hide the Current Post From the Recent Posts Widget
Stops the classic Recent Posts widget from listing the post that is currently being viewed.
Keep the Last Sidebar Widget in View
Makes the last widget in the sidebar stick to the top of the screen while the visitor scrolls long posts, a good spot for a newsletter form or ad.
Most Discussed Posts Widget
Adds a "Most Discussed Posts" widget that lists the posts with the most comments, all-time or from the last few weeks, with optional comment counts.
Recent Posts Widget Follows the Current Category
Makes the classic Recent Posts widget list posts from the same category as the post being read, turning it into a simple related posts list.
Recent Posts Widget Includes Custom Post Types
Makes the Recent Posts widget list your custom post types, such as portfolio items, recipes or events, together with blog posts.
Recent Posts Widget With Thumbnails
Adds a "Recent Posts With Thumbnails" widget that lists your latest posts with a small featured image and optional date, for classic sidebars.
Show Widgets Only on Certain Page Types
Adds a "Show on" setting to every classic widget, so you can limit it to the homepage, single posts, blog and archive pages, or everywhere except those.
Widget Area Above Single Posts
Registers a "Before Post Content" widget area and shows its widgets at the top of every blog post, ideal for notices, ads or a table of contents widget.
Widget Area Below Single Posts
Registers an "After Post Content" widget area and displays it at the end of single posts, without editing theme files.
