The Widget Manager section is used to activate and modify your widgets. A widget is an application, or a component of an interface, that enables a user to perform a function or access a service.
NOTE: Once you have added/edited all relevant widgets make sure you right click each widget and tick the ACTIVE checkbox to make sure they appear on your website.
If you aren't able to access the website editor function for your Club website (either the previous editor is no longer at the Club, or the site hasn't had an editor before), then please click here. Alternatively , if your website already has a website editor, this person can authorise you as an additional website editor themselves. If you are a club, you must contact your Association for access.
Below are detailed examples of how to edit content within Widget Manager:
Firstly, scroll down to the bottom of your website and click 'Site Editor'. You will then be shown the Website Editor Control Panel.
