Widgets Reloaded

Why create this plugin?

I used to hardcode everything on my site because widgets didn't allow nearly enough control. But, that got old after a while. So, I decided to make the default widgets just as flexible as they would be if I were coding them by hand. It was all about making widgets very powerful yet easy to use.

What does this plugin do, exactly?

It removes most of the default WordPress widgets and replaces them with upgraded versions. Each widget can be used any number of times. Plus, you have loads of checkboxes, input boxes, and select boxes to choose from. It's like having the power of a WordPress developer wrapped up in an easy-to-use form — widgets.

What widgets are available to use?

  • Archives
  • Authors
  • Bookmarks (Links)
  • Calendar
  • Categories
  • Pages
  • Search
  • Tags

How do I list Recent Posts?

You've probably noticed this widget has been removed and not replaced with anything else. Actually, the Archives widget does just what you want. Select postbypost as the type. It'll list your most recent posts.

I don't understand all of these options. What should I do?

You should do a little reading. The readme.html file included with the plugin has links to tons of resources. Everything you need to know is there.
