Custom Widgets
Need a new WordPress Widget in your HeatMap Theme child theme? No problem.
(You will need a HeatMap Theme Compatible Child Theme to do this.)
In the functions.php file in your HeatMap Theme compatible Child Theme you will see that there is code for an example code for a widget called ‘Your Very Own Widget’. Experiment with this code to make your very own widget. The example widget doesn’t do very much, but with a smattering of php and a few tips from the WordPress Codex you can go to town and create all manner of useful widgets.
You could also change how exisiting HeatMap Theme widgets work too. Say for example, you don’t like how the HeatMap Theme ‘recent posts PLUS’ widget works, why not change it by copying its code from heatmaptheme/functions.php into the functions.php for your child theme and then creating a new widget based upon it.
