1. Create a new plugin and open init.php file.

   add following code(this is an example code for a widget)

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Example: My User Widget
   Description: This plugin provides a simple widget that shows the name of
   the logged in user
   */
   class My_User_Widget extends WP_Widget {
   function My_User_Widget() {
   parent::WP_Widget(false,’My User Widget’);
   }
   function widget($args) {
   $user=wp_get_current_user();
   if(!isset($user->user_nicename)) {
   $message=’Welcome Guest’;
   }
   else {
   $message=”You are logged in as {$user->user_nicename}”;
   }
   extract($args);
   echo $before_widget;
   echo “<p>$message</p>”;
   echo $after_widget;
   }
   }
   function register_my_user_widget() {
   register_widget(‘My_User_Widget’);
   }
   add_action(‘widgets_init’,’register_my_user_widget’);
   

   widgets_init hook will call register_my_user_widget method. Then My_User_Widget Class will be called. once you activated the widget you can see it in widgets window and drag and drop it where you want.
