Widget Favorites provides a way to save a widget instance by name to identify it later when loading the favorited widget instance into another widget. Another way to look at this plugin is that it provides (non-automatic) revisions for widgets. Note that this only adds functionality to widgets managed in the Customizer. **Development of this plugin is done [on GitHub](https://github.com/xwp/wp-widget-favorites). Pull requests welcome. Please see [issues](https://github.com/xwp/wp-widget-favorites/issues) reported there before going to the [plugin forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/widget-favorites).** ## Other Related Plugins ## * [Settings Revisions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/settings-revisions/) * [Oomph Clone Widgets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/oomph-clone-widgets/) * [Widget Alias](https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-alias/) * [Duplicate Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-widget/) (not updated in 2+ years) ## Changelog ## ### 0.1 ### Initial release ### 0.1.1 ### Fix conflict with Make theme.
