  1. You can keep it in your theme’s functions.php file but it would be better if you keep it in a separate file and then include the file in functions.php like

    include('mywidget.php');
    

    Create the file (mywidget.php) and save it in your themes root folder (where functions.php is located), and paste the code in this file, that’s it. Keeping the widget code in a different file will keep your functions.php clean and your widget file will be easily readable/editable in it’s own file without looking the code in functions.php.
