Wordpress widget question (popular posts, latest posts, comments, and tags widget?)

7 replies
This might be a dumb question with such an easy answer, but I can't find it anywhere. I'd like to have a Wordpress widget that display popular posts, latest posts, comments, and tags all in the box, giving the user the ability to switch between them.

I've seen this on countless blogs and even used it on some of my own, but my current theme (which I don't want to change) does not have this feature.

I have tried looking for a plugin to do the trick, but no luck.

An image has been attached to help you better understand what I'm looking for. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Derek

    At the moment I am unaware of a plugin that can accomplish that, but that's not to say there isn't one out there.

    That sort of thing is usually added to the theme. I also like to use it on a few of my sites as it takes up a lot less room in the sidebar.

    Have you asked in the support section of the site that you got the theme from that you are using now? They may have an answer for you.

      I just did yes. It's a free Woo Theme, and I know several of their themes have this feature. I'll be crossing my fingers because, as you said, this would streamline things so well.

      Thanks for your help.

    You know, now that I know what this is called ("tabbed widgets"), I'm actually finding several options.

    I was just looking for something like this. The CodeCanyon one seems to be the best...it's not free but better than the Tabbed Widget version.
