Pods Widgets

Pods Widgets allow you to display fields, a single item, a list of items, and embed a form or template view. Pods Blocks are now recommended instead of using our Widgets.

Pods includes a number of Widgets you can use in your sidebars including:

  • Pods – Field Value
  • Pods – Single Item
  • Pods – List Items
  • Pods – Form
  • Pods – View

Each of the widgets offer the same options are our Blocks and Shortcodes.

There is not much documentation here because Widgets have officially been deprecated within WordPress itself and replaced with the new Block-based widget editor screens in WordPress 5.8. We recommend using Pods Blocks instead of your widgets going forward.
