I have a client that wants to use a particular theme without modification, but will likely want to have more widgets than are available with a given theme.
Is there a way to add widgets to the list of those available without modifying the theme?
Thanks.
Yes, you can add widgets through plug-ins the same way you add them through themes. So move the widget code from your
functions.phpfile and drop it inside a custom plug-in. You’ll get the same functionality without the need to modify your theme.
