This plugin utilizes core WordPress features, providing a straightforward set of options and a sleek user interface to select from three available widget layouts. To utilize it, users simply install and activate the plugin, edit the desired page to feature, add an excerpt and featured image, and then add the widget within the Appearance > Widgets section, configuring it with the necessary options.

Brilliant plugin with great support, I have used it on several sites and it makes for pretty and functional widgets in the sidebar.
After the recent WordPress update to 5.8 introduced the stupid block editor, you couldn’t select a page/post in the plugin.
The workaround is to just opt out of that new interface by installing the official Classic Widgets plugin then all is good again 🙂

What a great little plugin. Does exactly what I needed and it’s very customizable for custom themes. Documentation and examples on filters were easy to understand and incorporate.
