Widget Live Editor

• Easy alignment: Re-size widget images, so that you can align widgets.
• Flexible: Each widget can have an image, heading, text, and/or a link. One widget could be only an image and a link to your “Contact” page. Or only a heading, text, and a link to a blog post.
• Responsive: Looks good at any size. Perfect for Bootstrap themes, where widgets can have most of the content. Use vector images for retina displays.

What will change on upgrading from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 ?

   Selecting an image is easier.

   Link to any page or post, and enter whatever text you'd like.

1.0.4

• Breaking changes: you will unfortunately lose all of your existing Widget Live Editor widgets.
• UI improvement: access each widget in the ‘Widgets’ area, instead of in a separate panel.
• Easier to select images and links for the widget.
• Option to align widget vertically.

1.0.3

• Stability improvement: only most recent 100 posts and images available for each widget.

1.0.2

• Fixed a bug where images were too big in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

1.0.1

• Must have WordPress 4.0 to update.
• Editor area for widgets won’t take up much of your customizer screen. They are now in their own panel.
• Sorry, “edit” links on the widgets have been removed. So have the “Move widget” and “Edit content” links. The plugin “Adapter Widget Rows” has these features, if you have Bootstrap 3.
• Easier to use when you create a new “Live Editor” widget. The page won’t reload until you click.
• Compatible with WordPress 4.0.
• Translation-ready, but it doesn’t have any translations.
