  • Even/odd widget classes
  • Numbered widget classes

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Widget CSS Classes

You need to make sure you have an HTML element defined for before_widget and after_widget in your active theme's register_sidebar functions, usually located in your theme's functions.php (/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/functions.php). This HTML element must have class and id attributes. This plugin will not work if before_widget and after_widget are blank. Example: register_sidebar( array( 'name' => 'Sidebar', 'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">', 'after_widget' => '</div>', 'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">', 'after_title' => '</h2>' ) );
There are two ways: Edit your theme's style.css file (usually located in /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/). Use a plugin such as Simple Custom CSS.
You can export the Settings from Settings > Widget CSS Classes > Import/Export.
Please file a bug report on GitHub.
