You can simply go back to Appearance > Widgets in your Dashboard, and then expand the widget in your sidebar list to the right. You can change its content any time you want.
Whenever I put in some HTML, or a script, the Text widget “edits” the code when I click Save. Even if I use the tags, it still does this. How do you turn that off, or work around it?
If you head to the Appearance > Widgets menu, you should see the Text widget appear in the left column. It’ll be situated towards the end, as they’re arranged alphabetically. You’ll then want to drag it over to the right side column (click-hold and drag) where you can make your edits and changes. You may find our related video on adding a widget to your sidebar useful for this part.
