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.
Refresh External RSS Feeds More Often
Changes how long WordPress caches feeds fetched from other sites for the RSS widget and feed shortcodes, which is 12 hours by default.
Register Extra Widget Areas
Creates additional widget areas, such as a shop sidebar or a blog sidebar, that you can fill under Appearance > Widgets and place with a shortcode or theme hook.
Remove Default Dashboard Widgets
Cleans up the Dashboard by removing the Quick Draft, WordPress Events and News, and Activity widgets.
Remove Unused Default Widgets
Unregisters rarely used classic widgets (Meta, Calendar, RSS, Tag Cloud, Pages and Recent Comments) to declutter the widget list.
Remove Unused Widgets From the Elementor Panel
Takes widgets you never use, such as the old WordPress sidebar widgets, out of the Elementor panel so editors find the right ones faster.
Remove Unused WooCommerce Widgets
Hides the classic WooCommerce widgets you do not use, such as price filter or recent reviews, from the widget screens to keep them tidy.
Remove WooCommerce Widgets From the Dashboard
Removes WooCommerce's "Status" and "Recent reviews" boxes from the WordPress dashboard, which also skips the queries they run on every dashboard visit.
Remove Yoast Dashboard Widgets
Takes the Yoast SEO posts overview and Wincher widgets off the WordPress dashboard.
Remove the Elementor Overview Dashboard Widget
Removes the "Elementor Overview" box with news and recent edits from the WordPress dashboard, so the dashboard stays focused on your own widgets.
Run Shortcodes in Widget Titles
Processes shortcodes typed into classic widget titles, for example to show the current year or a dynamic label.
Schedule Widgets With Start and End Dates
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.
Shortcode for ACF Options Page Fields
Adds an [acf_option name="phone"] shortcode that prints a value from an ACF options page anywhere, such as a phone number or address in widgets and footers.
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.
Show Widgets Only to Logged-In or Logged-Out Visitors
Adds a "Show to" setting to every classic widget so you can display it to everyone, only to logged-in users, or only to visitors who are not logged in.
Sidebar Widgets as Cards (SCSS)
Styles each sidebar widget as a card with a border, rounded corners, an underlined title and tidy list dividers.
Single Column Dashboard Layout
Forces the Dashboard into a single column for every user, which suits sites with only one or two widgets.
Social Profiles Widget
Adds a "Social Profiles" widget with links to your profiles on Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Bluesky, Mastodon and more, as an accessible list of text links.
Softer Card Style for Dashboard Widgets
Gives dashboard widgets rounded corners, more breathing room and a colored top border, set with SCSS variables.
Sticky Sidebar
Keeps the sidebar visible while visitors scroll through long posts on desktop screens, so your widgets and calls to action stay in view.
Synced Pattern Shortcode
Adds a [synced_pattern] shortcode that prints a synced pattern (formerly reusable block) anywhere shortcodes work, such as classic widgets, page builders or theme files.
