Use this plugin to create your own widgets, duplicate existing widgets and arrange them in a sidebar or anywhere else. Thanks to filter definitions you can decide whether the widget should be displayed or not for specific pages or page-types.

This plugin does not work with WordPress 2.7.1 and below. If you are using WordPress 2.2 - 2.7.x please use Release 1.9.1 of this plugin.

The following features have been implemented:

  • define own widgets with php and/or html code
  • decide where your widget should be displayed (e.g. archive-page only)
  • define your own filters through plugin configuration
  • widget-titles that fit into your theme can be defined and changed comfortable as well
  • Debug-mode for code review
  • apply_filter-functionality can be activated within CustomWidgets
  • widgets are also available through custom tags such as <!--MyWidget--> and can be used outside of the sidebar as well
  • duplicate/copy existing widgets (beta feature)
  • deinstallation routine to remove all option entries created by the plugin
  • Backup routine for widget- and plugin-configuration
