 * Hello,
    I need to help a friend that have a WordPress website developped by someone
   that stop to work for him.
 * If i’m familiar with website dev i’m not with WordPress.
    Part of the coding 
   have been done directly in the php page where (i believe) it should have been
   integrated to WP tools.
 * Part of the side is Widget but some are coded in the sidebar.php file.
    Is there
   a way to cut the relevant code from the .php and to paste it in a Widget ?
 * I tried text widget bud it didn’t parse.
    Before i break anything i’d like to
   have some feedback.
 * Thanks

 * As long as you follow WordPress best practices and the correct guidelines, creating
   widgets in WordPress is pretty straight forward.

 * Thanks i will explore this, but i wonder if i need to go that far…
 * Widget like [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-text-widget/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-text-widget/)
   should do it, right ?
