Custom widgets are a simple and elegant way to add more content and interactivity to your website.
WordPress has thousands of widgets that you can use to enhance your visitors’ user experience, all of which are free to download and use.
MyBandTheme also has custom widgets integrated, which were designed specifically to take advantage of the unique modules of the MyBandTheme wordpress template.
All of the custom widgets take advantage of data and content you've already created within MyBandTheme, which makes the implementation of the widgets as easy as possible.
Its simple and intuitive.
All you need to do is enter your WordPress admin panel, go to Appearance -> Widgets, and drag whichever custom MyBandTheme widget you want to use to the sidebar widgets area, of the homepage widgets area.
