One can also get the widget id by inspecting the html but I find that rather tedious. So I wrote this short snippet. No more inspecting elements and messing with html. Simply install this plugin and you are good to go. It is based on this [Tutorial](https://thewphosting.com/get-widget-id-wordpress/) ## Screenshots * [[ * ID inside a Text Widget ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Unzip archive and upload the entire folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Now visit the Widget section and click on any active widget. You will find the Widget ID. ## FAQ The FAQ section will be updated in next release. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c21681f7bb2e01263f4f9a43244c6ab4d3758be957ba9a7fd1ba59983395e090? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Such a simple answer to a difficult challenge](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/such-a-simple-answer-to-a-difficult-challenge/)󠁿 [LesTexas60](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lestexas60/) September 3, 2016 thank you for a great plugin ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/535acae4f0315c727594cb2b502919bd4f26bf637e0316591e5b76d38e272451? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-916/)󠁿 [uflinks](https://profiles.wordpress.org/uflinks/) September 3, 2016 Thanks so much.
