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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Empties a widget area on the pages or post types you choose, for example to keep the sidebar off landing pages and checkout pages.
Adds a "Title link" field to every classic widget, turning its title into a link, for example from "Latest News" to your news page.
Hides pages such as Privacy Policy or Thank You from the Pages widget and sorts the rest by their menu order.
Adds a "Random Quote" widget that shows a different quote, tip or testimonial from your list on each page view, with the source shown below it.
Adds a "Recent Posts With Thumbnails" widget that lists your latest posts with a small featured image and optional date, for classic sidebars.
Unregisters rarely used classic widgets (Meta, Calendar, RSS, Tag Cloud, Pages and Recent Comments) to declutter the widget list.
Adds "Show from" and "Show until" date fields to every classic widget, so a promotion, event notice or holiday message appears and disappears on its own.
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.
Adds a [widget_area] shortcode that prints any widget area inside a page, post or block template, so the same widgets can be reused anywhere.
Adds a "Top Bar" widget area that prints right after the opening body tag, handy for a contact line, social links or a short promo across the whole site.
