Your WordPress website has one or more sidebars that contain information other than the main content. Every page other than the map page will have the sidebars that you can place widgets into. Widgets are small areas in the sidebar where content or other types of information can be placed. This is for prominent placement of your bio, your agency information, links to other sites, image links, mortgage calculator, a listing slideshow or many other things. Read the instructions below to see how you can change

Step 1: In your Site Admin tool for your WordPress site, click “Appearance”, then click “Widgets”

Step 2: The left hand side represents the widgets that are available in the system. The ones under the “Sidebar” heading on the right are the currently active widgets

Drag and drop widgets from the left to their place on the right hand side. You can drag and drop to reorder the active widgets too. Many widgets have options in them, so make sure to check each widget that you setup to be sure that it has the information it needs to work.
