Widgets are small blocks of content that can be added to the sidebar, footer, or other widget-ready areas of your WordPress website. They can be used to display a variety of information, such as recent posts, social media feeds, and calendars.

To add a widget, simply drag it from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen, where you can choose where to place it.
Once you have added a widget, you can customize its settings by clicking on the widget title. You can change the title, content, and display settings for each widget.
To edit a widget, simply click on the widget title to open the widget settings. You can then make any changes you need and click on Save.
To remove a widget, simply click on the widget title and then click on the Remove button.
