What are WordPress Widgets and Shortcodes

WordPress Widgets are like little blocks that you can add to different parts of your WordPress website, like the sidebar or footer. They're super easy to use and you don't need to know how to code to add them to your site. You can add cool stuff like a search bar, recent posts list, categories list, tag cloud, social media icons, and more. To add, remove, or change the widgets, just go to the WordPress admin panel and click on "Appearance" then "Widgets".

Shortcodes are like secret codes that you can add to your WordPress posts, pages, or widgets to do cool stuff. They're super easy to use too, and you don't need to know how to code. WordPress core, themes, or plugins give you these special codes that can add all sorts of things like galleries, forms, sliders, videos, or custom stuff. For example, [gallery] might display a gallery of images while [contact-form] might display a contact form. Just type in the shortcode into your content editor and it'll show up on the page. No coding necessary!
