Tidying up the site – adding widgets


All of the content and settings for our review site are now in place. Each post has reviews enabled and a map of the location it relates to.

Let's just finish things up by adding some widgets to the footer of our site:

  1. In the WordPress admin, go to Appearance | Widgets.

  2. Delete any widgets that WordPress has added by default.

  3. Add the following widgets to the footer widget areas, as shown in the following screenshot:

    • Recent posts

    • Categories

    • Search

These widgets will help people navigate around your site and view the most recently added posts. Here's how they look on the site.
