Page in Widget

Good plugin Support in 4.8.1, like

Works exactly the way I wanted! I love it!

Just wanted to let others know that even though this plugin has not been updated in 2 years, it still works as of June 2015 with the most recent version of WordPress. I like this one better than “pages in widget”, because this one uses the theme’s style for the widget title, where “pages in widget” does not. The title has to be typed again, but that is no big deal.

This is also a nice way to add themed styles to the widget area. since you can use the page styles and advance editors.

and it still works!

Just what I needed.

I customized the plugin to show the title of the page:

after line 47, I added:

$permalink = get_permalink( $page_id ); 

$myTitle = '<a href="' . get_permalink($page_id) . '" rel="bookmark" title="' . strip_tags(get_the_title($page_id)) . '">' . get_the_title($page_id) . '</a>';

and at the new line 67, I changed “$title” to $myTitle

Now if I could just get the “read more” to work…
