The text widget that comes with the wordpress does not allow you to include PHP code. This plugin adds a new widget called Samsarin PHP Widget, which will allow you to include PHP code, as well as plain text and HTML.

Features included:

  • Add up to 25 Samsarin PHP Widgets to your sidebar.
  • Add PHP code to both the widget title and the widget body.
  • Reset allows you to easily revert the contents of a widget.

Warning: This widget provides great flexibility in customizing your sidebar. It achieves this by automatically evaluating any included PHP included in the title or the body of the widget. Care should be taken when including PHP code in the sidebar, as with anywhere else in the WordPress system.
