HOW THEY WORK
Widgets are added to your wordpress sidebar via the admin menu Appearance -> Widgets. Once you add a widget to your sidebar, depending on the widget, you will have options to configure. An example of this would be how many of something to show in the sidebar
Some of our widgets will work with shortcodes if they are on the same page. A good example of this is our search filter widget. For example, if ajax is turned on, the search filter will react to and communicate with, other elements on the page.
