Section Widget
How do I switch themes? Go to the Section Widget settings page (under the Appearance admin menu). Select any themes from the drop-down. I cannot see the widget!!! Why does the tabbed section widget looks so weird on my site? Make sure you have set a correct CSS scope in the Section Widget settings page (under the Appearance admin menu). Can I use shortcodes in the widget content? Yes. Can I use PHP code in the content? By default, no. Can I use HTML in the content? Yep. Can I use JavaScript in the content? See below. Is the HTML code filtered? It depends. What does "Display title" do? When checked, your widget's title will be displayed before the its content just like the regular text widget. How should I style the widget? If you have access to the theme CSS files, you can wrap your content in an id (or give it a CSS class), and then style it from there. The themes are taking up too much space!
