Description: This plugin creates a custom post type called “Widget Blocks” so you can create widget content just like you would create posts or pages. You can show these “Widget Blocks” by dragging a “WYSIWYG Widget” widget to one of your widget areas and selecting which widget block to display inside it.

How to use:
- After enabling the Widget Content Blocks plugin, an option called Widget Blocks appears in your dashboard’s left-hand navigation.
- Choose New Widget Block.
- Add a new component with content you would like to insert in a widget location.
- Under Appearance -> Widgets, drag an instance of “Widget Blocks Widget” to the widget-containing area where you’d like for it to appear.
- Within that Widget Blocks Widget item, select the particular widget content block you’d like to use in this location.
The following text is enclosed in a Widgets on Page container to allow it to appear only on this page, but you could also put this content in any widget-containing area of your theme, such as sidebar or footer areas.
