Better Text Widget

WordPress has a built in text widget, but it has one major flaw. There’s no good way to apply styles to individual text widgets. This simple plugin adds a class to each text widget. The class name is generated based on the title of the widget, and makes it very easy to have that fine-grain design control you need.

  1. Verify that you have PHP5, which is required for this plugin.
  2. Upload the whole better-text-widget directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

Can I have use than one instance of this widget?

Yes, just the like the built-in text widget, Better Text Widget employs the multi-widget pattern, which allows you to not only have more than one instance of this widget on your site, but even allows more than one instance of this widget in a single sidebar.
