Example
The following code will create a widget called “Wpdocs Widget” which will become available in the WordPress Administrative Panels. The widget can then be dragged to an available sidebar for display.
Note that this widget can only be used once in exactly 1 of the sidebars. For recursive widgets (widgets you can add to multiple times and add to multiple sidebars) please see the Register Widget function.
