Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Why Use It?

This allows you to give widgets a title in the backend for convenience – so you can quickly see which widget is which, rather than having to open them to work out what they are for – without having to show the title on the front end.

How To Use (once plugin is installed)

” character to the start of the widget title (in Appearance -> Widgets).

Compatibility

  • This plugin requires WordPress 2.6 or above.
  • I am not currently aware of any compatibility issues with any other WordPress plugins.

Similar Plugins

There is another plugin called Hide Widget Title, but that leaves the widget title in the page source and hides it using CSS (adding another http request which slows load time slightly). Remove Widget Titles actually removes the widget title from the HTML. The plugin is only 7 lines of code, so it is extremely light and has minimal impact on performance.

Support

This plugin is officially not supported (due to my time constraints), but if you leave a comment on the plugin’s home page or contact me, I’ll try to help if I can.
