<p>Sometimes you have a certain widget configuration that you need to use over-and-over again.<br />
Widget Favorites provides a way to save a widget instance by name to identify it later<br />
when loading the favorited widget instance into another widget.</p>
<p>Another way to look at this plugin is that it provides (non-automatic) revisions for widgets.</p>
<p>Note that this only adds functionality to widgets managed in the Customizer.</p>
<p><strong>Development of this plugin is done <a href="https://github.com/xwp/wp-widget-favorites" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>. Pull requests welcome.

Widget Favorites

Store revisions of widget instances for re-use.

<p>Unless post revisions are explicitly limited, WordPress will build up a hefty sum of revisions over time. While it’s great to have revision history for some recent content, the chances that old revisions will be necessary diminish the longer a post has been published. Revision Strike is designed to automatically remove these unneeded revisions on older, published posts.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>First, a threshold is set, with a default of 30 days. Once a day, Revision Strike will run and find any post revisions in the database attached to published posts with a post date of at least 30 (or your custom threshold) days ago, and “strike” (tear-down and remove) them from the WordPress database.</p>
