Description
This simple plugin allows you to display the contents of a text file as a widget, in any widgetized area provided by your theme (eg Sidebar)
There are no configuration options for this plugin – all configuration (such as there is) is done by the widget settings.
Only text is displayed – HTML is stripped out.
End-of-line characters are displayed as HTML \”Breaks\”

*Use the standard WordPress Plugins > “Add New” procedure (Recommended)

Add Plugin > Upload

*Download the plugin file from www.remarpro.com, then manually upload the unzipped folder (text-file-widget) into wp-content/plugins
Then
*Activate the plugin
Now there will be a \”text file widget\” in the Appearance>Widgets section. Drag this to a widget location, and tell it which file you want to display and what title to give it (or none)
You can have multiple instances displaying different files.
