As a learning project I wrote a plugin for WordPress that adds a sidebar widget displaying featured items from an Etsy store. It can be downloaded here:
To install, follow these steps:
- Download the file to your desktop
- Go to Plugins -> Add New in your WordPress dashboard
- Click Upload
- Select the file etsy-sidebar-widget.zip from your desktop
- Click Install Now
- Click Activate Plugin
- Go to Appearance -> Widgets
- Drag the Etsy Sidebar Widget into one of your sidebar widget areas
- Enter your shop name — you can also change the title and number of rows to be displayed (optional)
- Click Save
The saved widget will appear like this example in your sidebar (the example store ImaginationKids is owned by my friend Erin — check it out!):
