Empty Plugin (Widget)

Earlier I shared my empty plugin code. Great for a quick test or maybe even as a starting point for an awesome new plugin. I’ve decided that I also need one for a widget, so here’s that:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Empty Plugin (Widget)
Plugin URI: https://trepmal.com/
Description: Does nothing - testing only
Author: Kailey Lampert
Version: 0.0
Author URI: http://kaileylampert.com/
