Very Simple Custom Textwidget (very-simple-custom-textwidget) free WordPress plugin

About

This is a very simple plugin to add a custom text widget in your sidebar.

It has the same look as the native text widget, but with extra input fields to set an image and a more info link.

NOTICE

This plugin will be removed from repository. Main reasons are the new native text, image and HTML widget and the small number of active installs.

You can keep using plugin, but without updates and without support from author.

How to use

After installation go to Appearance > Widgets and add the custom text widget to your sidebar.

You will notice the extra input fields:

• Image
• Link to post, page or website for more info
• Link label

Set image

I recommend using an image from the media library of your website: copy file link and paste this link in relevant input field.

Set more info link

You can set a link (URL) to a post, page or website for more info.

And you can label this link, default (translated) label is “More info”.
