Description

The WPMUDEV Blogs Widget addon displays a dynamic list of sites from the WordPress Multisite network directly in the sidebar, integrating with the WPMUDEV Blogs plugin to showcase registered blogs in any widget area of the theme. The configuration allows sorting by creation date, recent activity or alphabetic order, ideal for those managing a multisite network who want to give visibility to child blogs on each page of the main site.
