# Sidebars & Footers

Depending on the theme of your WordPress site, you likely will have one or more sidebars available.  You can install the flexmls IDX widgets to your sidebars by:

- Click on the **Appearance** \> **Widgets** option under the menu:

Depending on your theme setup you may be presented with different options. The default setup is a Gutenberg editor similar to Pages/Posts where you add block elements:

- [**1-Click Location**](https://fbsdata.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/232023107--1-Click-Location-Searches) and [**Custom Searches**](https://fbsdata.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/232279888-1-Click-Custom-Searches) — Include panels of 1-click search links in your sidebars to highlight for your visitors the popular locations (cities, zips, or map overlays you’ve created in flexmls Web) or searches (e.g., foreclosures).
- [**Contact Me**](https://fbsdata.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/232280008-Contact-Me) — This widget is a form that asks for name and email from your customer and will create an entry directly in your flexmls contact manager.
- [**IDX Search**](https://fbsdata.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/232279648--IDX-Search) — Provides your customers an introductory search form.
