Centralized WordPress widget manager for classic themes with drag-and-drop reordering, isolated live previews, and visibility controls.

== Description ==
Wise Widget Manager is a powerful WordPress plugin that provides a centralized dashboard for managing all widget areas (sidebars) in classic WordPress themes. 

Instead of navigating multiple disjointed layout screens in the WordPress admin, this plugin allows you to control, preview, and optimize all of your widgets from a single unified interface. It fundamentally enhances the traditional WordPress widget architecture without overriding or replacing it—making widget management faster, more visual, and completely seamless.

**Important Note:** This plugin is dedicated entirely to managing and configuring your active sidebars. To add new widgets to your site, you will still use the native WordPress flow by navigating to **Appearance → Widgets**. Once added, they will immediately appear in your Wise Widget Manager dashboard for quick management.

== Features ==
* **Centralized Widget Dashboard:** Manage all of your active widgets and sidebars from a single unified control center.
* **Drag-and-Drop Reordering:** Effortlessly rearrange layouts and prioritize widget placement on the fly.
* **Isolated Live Previews:** Safely preview widget modifications using strict iframe isolation before finalizing.
* **Instant Removal:** Instantly purge unneeded widgets from any sidebar area.
* **Device-Based Visibility:** Restrict widget visibility dynamically based on user device types – Desktop, iPad/Tablet, and Mobile.
* **Authentication Rules:** Toggle widget presence based on user login status – show only to Logged In users or only to Non-Logged In visitors.
* **Classic & Gutenberg Support:** Seamlessly manage both classic WordPress widgets and Gutenberg blocks side by side.
* **Search Widget Management:** Quickly locate and manage all search widget instances across your sidebars.
* **Performance Optimized:** Lightweight architecture using optimized WordPress REST API calls.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
