Get Widget ID Plugin

Get ID of any active widget.

As the name suggests the Get Widget ID Plugin allows you to display the widget id in the widget form.

One can also get the widget id by inspecting the html but I find that rather tedious. So I wrote this short snippet.

No more inspecting elements and messing with html. Simply install this plugin and you are good to go.

It is based on this Tutorial

Unzip archive and upload the entire folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

Now visit the Widget section and click on any active widget. You will find the Widget ID.

The FAQ section will be updated in next release.
