Features:
All widgets designed to be high performance to have very little impact on page load times. This is accomplished by utilizing fragment caching . Without going into great technical detail, this means the HTML for the widgets are built once and then served from a cache anytime they are needed. This reduces server load, response time, database queries and the memory required. The cache version is never out of date as it is recreated once a day or any time you update an entry or change a widget setting.
All widgets support multiple instances. This means you can add the same widget to your sidebar multiple times each being configured separately.
All widgets support being used as a shortcode on a page.
Category widget features:
- Display all categories or include specific categories or exclude categories.
- Choose to limit the list to a defined category and decide whether only the immediate children categories are shown or all descendants are shown.
- If displaying all categories, you can choose to define how many levels deep the category tree should display.
- Decide whether or not the number of entries assign to the category should be shown.
- You can choose to hide empty categories.
