Description

Sometimes you have a certain widget configuration that you need to use over-and-over again. Widget Favorites provides a way to save a widget instance by name to identify it later when loading the favorited widget instance into another widget.

Another way to look at this plugin is that it provides (non-automatic) revisions for widgets.

Note that this only adds functionality to widgets managed in the Customizer.

Development of this plugin is done on GitHub. Pull requests welcome. Please see issues reported there before going to the plugin forum.
