Widget Content Blocks

WYSIWYG Widgets or rich text widgets

This plugin adds so called “Widget Blocks” to your website which you can easily display in your widget areas.

You can create or edit the widget blocks just like you would edit any post or page, with all the default WordPress editing functions enabled. This way, you can use the visual editor that comes with WordPress to format your widgets. You can even use media uploading to insert images and so forth.

Features:

• Create beautiful widgets without having to write HTML code
• Easily insert media into your widget content
• Add headings, lists, blockquotes and other HTML elements to your widgets using the WordPress classic editor
• Use WP Links dialog to easily link to any of your pages or posts from a widget
• Use shortcodes inside your widgets
• Have a revision history of your widget content
• Translation ready
