Add widgets to your site
A widget is a tool that adds different functions to your site. Most sites come with certain widgets already installed, but you can add to and remove them by following the steps below.
1. Go to your site Dashboard and click Appearance > Widgets in the left-hand menu.
2. Click on the widget to select it, select the correct sidebar (if your theme has more than one), and click the Add Widget button. Alternatively, you can drag it to the sidebar location where you want it to appear.
3. To customize a widget’s settings, click the down arrow in the upper right corner to expand the widget’s interface. Different widgets will have different settings or customizations. To save the customizations you made, click Save.
4. To arrange the order of your widgets, click and drag them into the position you want.
5. To remove a widget, click Delete.
Please note: If you change themes, the widgets may be reset, depending on the theme. You may need to add them again and rearrangement depending upon the theme’s ability to preserve other themes’ widgets.
