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.

Link Widget Titles to a Page
Adds a "Title link" field to every classic widget, turning its title into a link, for example from "Latest News" to your news page.
Recent Posts Widget Follows the Current Category

Run Shortcodes in Widget Titles
Processes shortcodes typed into classic widget titles, for example to show the current year or a dynamic label.
